Cannes in Spring

the best of the art of living

In spring, Cannes wakes up!
The light is soft, the sea invites you to take your first dips, and the terraces come alive without the crowds. You can stroll along the Croisette, explore the narrow streets of Le Suquet and enjoy the generous sunshine. Cannes in spring is the luxury of tranquillity, sunshine in advance and the Mediterranean art of living before the summer.

Why choose Cannes

for a spring break?

Cannes in Spring is the promise of a break that awakens the senses.

Walk barefoot in the sand while admiring the blue of the Mediterranean, feel the warmth of the sun, breathe in the fragrance of the eucalyptus trees, taste the local flavours at the Provencal market…

Cannes in Spring also promises unforgettable moments for couples, families and friends. Have a picnic on a terrace overlooking the sea, step back in time as you wander through the narrow streets of Le Suquet, take the boat for a green getaway to the Lérins Islands, sip a cocktail in one of the Croisette’s emblematic hotels and end the evening with a concert at the Palais des Festivals.
