Highlights
A guided tour by a screenwriter, novelist, a historical researcher and an emerging filmmaker who participates every year in the Cannes Film Festival. I have great knowledge of the film and TV industry which is rapidly changing. Cannes is a feast for the senses. From a sleepy fishing village to a world-renowned vacation spot full of stars and wannabees. How did this happen? Come listen to all the juicy gossip from the film festival, who did what and who missed out. What did the man in the iron mask and Napoleon end up doing in Cannes? Where are the best restaurants? What are these tasty delights in the markets? Cannes, beautiful and timeless as ever with long beaches as far as the eye can see. Cruise ship passenger? My pleasure to meet you at the cruise ship terminal as you get off your tender boat. Intimate small groups. Several starting times available to fit your cruise ship schedule. Note: in the old medieval city there stairs as we climb to the viewpoint.

About Cannes
Cannes is a Riviera resort on the Mediterranean, with a palm-lined seafront, a film festival, an old hilltop quarter and ferries to the Lérins islands.
Cannes curves around a sandy bay on the French Riviera, with a wide seafront boulevard, La Croisette, lined with palm trees and grand hotels. The Palais des Festivals, near its western end, hosts the international film festival each May, and film stars' handprints are set in the pavement outside. The old quarter of Le Suquet climbs a hill above the old port, with narrow lanes, a church and a museum in a medieval castle.
Top-ranked sights in Cannes: Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Gourdon, Île Sainte-Marguerite.
