Recommend anyone interested in history to visit Musee des explorations du monde, which is nestled within the ancient castle overlooking the old quartier. Although being a small museum, the collection of historical pieces around the world including Ancient Egypt, Greece and Africa is astonishing. The great number of artwork showing ancient Cannes and South of France are also of high historical values. The museum is also free to students."Cannes.Palais des Festivals - Old Port388m from downtown
No.1 of Water Fun Attractions in CannesHighlights: The port is one of the more lively places in Cannes, where densely packed private yachts are moored. The most suitable time to shoot in the old port is in the evening, when the sunset shines on the sea of the old port, and there are row upon row of old-fashioned brigs and modern yachts nearby. , you can also overlook the castle hill and the bell tower standing by the sea, the foreground and background are mixed into a quiet and beautiful picture. There is a large open space in front of the old port, and there are often exhibitions of environmental protection artworks. The wolf fish and fire fish sold by the restaurant located here are fresh. The stpierre wharf was built in 1838 and is the oldest part of the old port.Show Less - 5.24.5/5112 reviewsFree

There are quite a lot of film projects here."Cannes.Palais des Festivals - Old Port235m from downtownHighlights: The Palais des Festivals (Palais des Festivals de Cannes) was built in 1982 and is an important meeting place for the Cannes Film Festival. The Palais des Festivals has a capacity of 30,000 people, excellent sound facilities, and besides being the official venue of the festival, it also contains many business conference halls. It is said that the carpet on the steps of the Palais des Festivals is red only when there is an event, and blue at other times. So if you come across a festival, don't forget to take pictures on the steps covered with red carpets to experience the taste of being a star. Visitors still have a better chance of seeing a red carpet than a blue one, as the Palais des Festivals is not idle for most of the year. Every year, there is the Acacia Festival in February, the International Film Festival in May, and the Music Festival and Fireworks Festival in July. In addition, there are fixed festivals such as the International Boat Festival, the International Music and Record Festival, the Mimosa Festival, and the Dance Festival. Under such a dense schedule, if you want to use the Palais des Festivals, you need to book two years in advance.Show Less - 5.24.4/573 reviewsFree"The Avenue of Stars is a special attraction for the outstanding people in Hong Kong's film industry.

You can see the handprints of more than 300 stars on the sidewalk. Many movie lovers and tourists come here. The handprints in Cannes are far less than those on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the United States, but the handprint of director Wong Kar Wai can be found on the Walk of Fame in Cannes, right at the gate of the Cannes Convention and Exhibition Center. There are three English letters WKW on it, which are the acronyms of Wong Kar Wai Cantonese Pinyin.Show Less

Because the street is generally opposite to a bar and the like, it feels particularly relaxing."Cannes.Croisette1.2 km from downtownNo.2 of Water Fun Attractions in CannesHighlights: This luxurious avenue on the south coast of Cannes is called La Croisette. The Boulevard de la Croisette starts from the Palais des Festivals de Cannes in the west and extends eastward along Cannes Bay all the way to Cape La Croisette. Even if it is not during the Cannes Film Festival, the picturesque coastline, walking paths, restaurants and hotels will make it a more lively area in Cannes, and every weekend, it is a bustling event.Show Less
