Cannes Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
La Croisette is best viewed from the highest point of Cannes' Old Town (Le Suquet), where the remains of the fortified tower still stand, along with the 12th- century Chapel of St Anne. Le Suquet, with its winding streets, small boutiques and restaurants, is a lovely place for tourists to stroll.
At the end of La Croisette is the Palais des Festivals, whose endless Allées des Stars is imprinted with handprints and signatures of the rich and famous. Just beyond is the atmospheric Vieux Port with its odd medley of luxury boats and tiny fishing vessels, rows of palm trees, and fragrant flower market. Further west, along the seafront, are the free sandy beaches where the locals gather along the Plages du Midi.
