Riviera Real Estate Cannes: Villas and Houses for Sale

A signature locality within the glorious Cote D’Azur or French Riviera, Cannes is truly one of the most glamorous, stylish and effortlessly chic cities in the world. Since the 19^th century, it has been the playground of choice for European aristocracy, artists and film stars alike. It is an unmistakable resort to which the fashionable flock for rest and relaxation.

Cannes is blessed with the temperate climate of warm summers and mild winters providing a wonderful year round destination for both holidaymakers and business travelers. One of the most interesting times of year to visit the city is May, when the annual Cannes Film Festival takes place and the attention of the world’s media falls upon the city for two star-studded weeks.

But, Cannes has much more to offer than celebrity spotting. The city itself is largely characterized by ‘La Croisette’, an elegant tree-lined boulevard that curves around the bay and links Palm Beach to the Quai St Pierre. This is where you will find dozens of cafés, up-scale restaurants and chic boutiques. There is also access to some of city’s most picturesque and beautifully well-kept beaches.

Many of the city’s most distinguished landmarks are also located along La Croisette. These include the Carlton Hotel and the modern Palais de Congrés which is the main venue for the Film Festival and Midem (the leading trade show for the music industry) amongst a litany of other international events.

While some visitors revel in the glitz and glamour, others prefer the somewhat gentler pace of life offered by the quarter known as La Suquet. Founded in the early 11^th century by monks seeking sanctuary from marauding Saracens, it affords a touching insight in to the Cannes of old with its narrow streets and ancient churches. La Suquest also hosts two of Cannes’ oldest structures, La Tour de Mt Chevalier and Notre-Dame-de-l’Espérence.

Cannes is an extremely attractive location and an extremely glamorous one too. Coast & Country offer a range of property for sale in Cannes. Please browse our listings and contact one of our representatives should you have any questions regarding any of our Riviera Cannes properties.
