Cannes

This elegant promenade was designed inspired by Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and is lined with luxury hotels, exclusive boutiques, palm trees and fine sandy beaches. During the film festival, La Croisette becomes the epicentre of international glamour.

The old town, with its winding alleys, captivates visitors with its peaceful atmosphere and stunning views over the bay.

This group of islands is a true natural paradise and can be reached from Cannes in around 15 minutes by boat. On the largest island, Île Sainte-Marguerite, a visit to Fort Royal is well worth it and small coves invite you to swim. On Île Saint-Honorat, inhabited by monks, you will find the famous monastery, and several viewpoints offer breathtaking panoramas of the Côte d’Azur.

This traditional market hall blends Provençal lifestyle with Mediterranean gastronomy and is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors from around the world.

Travellers can reach Cannes from Switzerland by train in approximately 8 to 10 hours, depending on the departure point. From Geneva or Zurich, one or two transfers are usually required, for example in Dijon or Marseille. Taking the train allows you to enjoy scenic landscapes along the way and arrive relaxed on the Côte d’Azur.
