Cannes, home of the world-famous film festival that attracts celebrities and fans alike, is a wonderful Riviera beach town. Near the waterfront, there are shops catering to the rich and famous, like a Ferrari gift shop and Gucci. Along side streets, there are also wonderful hip clothing shops and boutiques selling Provencal wares.
It is never more happening than during the annual May festival. Here is a gallery of photos of the city during the festivities. Watch this spot, as photos will be constantly added.
