Perhaps best known for its film festival, Cannes is located in the south of France along the French Riviera. It’s a hot spot for the rich and famous, who like to soak up the warm weather, shop in the boutiques on the palm tree-lined Promenade de la Croisette, and stay in its luxury hotels. Plenty of other tourists visit as well. Head to the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Provence to see artefacts relating to the area. Or visit the Île Sainte-Marguerite, a forested island which is home to a museum with shipwrecks. And of course, there’s plenty of golden sandy beaches to relax on.
