So for the best way to experience the town you really should book your apartment in Cannes from 9flats right now.

Exploring from your holiday apartment in Cannes

The huge media circus that is the Cannes Film Festival arrives in May and is a great time for star spotting along La Croisette. At any time of year you can enjoy the couture shops and watch the world go by in the pavement cafes. For foodies, the covered market at Marche Forville is a must, while the Palais des Festivals on La Croisette gives a fantastic photo opportunity for any budding starlet. The port contains fantastic yachts to admire all year and La Croisette is like a fashion catwalk by the sea; another great spot for people watching. Beaches can be expensive and most are private, so try visiting the Îles de Lérins in the bay for a more laid back beach scene.

Choosing your accommodation in Cannes

Just a few kilometres west of Cannes town centre, a holiday apartment in Cannes la Bocca provides a quieter base from which to enjoy the attractions of Cannes proper. It has an attractive seafront, great views of the Golfe de la Napoule and a lively mix of bars and cafes. It is also right next to the train station. A holiday apartment in Le Cannet meanwhile, will find you around three kilometres inland from the centre of Cannes. Here you can explore a more sedate side of the area in this pretty and historic town, while still being just minutes from the centre of the action.

Moving on from Cannes

A short journey west could take you to a holiday apartment in Marseille where you can enjoy a different side to Provence, one of a hectic and splendid mix of Provencal and North African cultures. Leaving France, a short trip to the south will take you into Spain where a holiday apartment in Barcelona could be your bases as you explore the fabulous architecture of Gaudi and enjoy the food and culture of one of Spain’s greatest cities. Wherever you go, 9flats has some of the best accommodation in the most exciting locations, so book now to begin your adventure.
