When to Travel to Cannes

Cannes is perhaps most famous for the Cannes International Film Festival, held annually in April or May. For some celebrity spotting and a lively arts scene, this is a great time of year to visit, however there is no shortage of beach front and spectacular scenery if you prefer to keep out of the spotlight. The city is situated between the Mediterranean Sea and a mountain range, offering a hot and dry climate. Many hotels and stores are air-conditioned, and in summer this is likely to be a great relief. Make sure you take clothes that are well suited to the heat and take care to avoid becoming dehydrated. Winter is more moderate, however it is unlikely to get too cold.
