About this activity
Explore Cannes and discover its magnificent palaces along the Croisette boulevard: the Carlton, the Majestic, or the Martinez, where the stars stay during the Cannes Film Festival. Take the opportunity to walk on the famous red carpet that covers the world famous steps of the Palais des Festivals. Follow the seaside toward Antibes and discover the old town surrounded by ramparts. They were built in the medieval period to protect the city from the barbarian invasions of the Goths, Visigoths, and other Saracens. Antibes has become a focus of contemporary art thanks to Picasso, who spent a part of his life here. Also look at the Cap d' Antibes peninsula between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, a famous seaside resort. Enjoy one of the most visited places in France: Saint-Paul-de-Vence. This magnificent fortified village, dating from the 11th century, hosted famous artists Chagall, Picasso, and Matisse, plus writers Prvert and Pagnol, and famous entertainers Signoret and Montand. At the entrance of the city, right next to the old wash house from the 17th century, is La Colombe d'Or, which boasts some of the most recognizable names: Henry Matisse, Roger Moore, and Tony Curtis. On the set of Le Puy, you can pay tribute to Chagall who chose to rest here with his wife and brother. Stroll along the ramparts and cobbled streets inside the walls and discover the shops and art galleries punctuating the village.
