With a lovely quay and promenade, La Croisette, running the length of the beach and as famous for its beauty as its shopping, the amenities of Cannes don’t stop there. Numerous roads lead up into the valley’s olive groves, and out into the gorgeous fertile countryside rich with fruit and nut trees. Enjoying a favorable climate the whole year-round coupled with a rarity of rain and fog, this is the ultimate destination for those seeking asylum from grey skies.
