Cannes - France, 9/20/1907 to 9/20/2007
Cannes is a city located in southern France in the region of the Riviera (in the Alpes Maritimes department ). Its population is just 70,000 inhabitants. Cannes is a luxurious city of the Côte d'Azur , its main source of income is tourism. So here we saw a great offer numerous hotels and luxury shops.
The city is internationally renowned for its International Film Festival of Cannes as well as its Advertising Festival Cannes Lions . Every year they gather here the cream of the famous movie and walk the red carpet was lying there in the Palais des Festivals , for a few days ago was the 2007 Cannes Festival where they held 60 years International Cinema. They walked into the van by the famous Bd de la Croisette, the scenic promenade along the coast dotted with palm trees and marina. Visiting the promenade is one of its most important tourist attractions. You can also visit the islands of Lerins as part of the town.
I tell them that in 1939 the French government decided to install a International Film Festival in Cannes . The city of Cannes was chosen for its sunshine and enchanting setting. In 1945 the French Association of Artistic Action was commissioned to prepare for a festival next year with funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education and, since 1946, National Film Center, recently created. Despite the difficulties of that time, the festival of Cannes was the first major international cultural event of war. Except in 1948 and 1950, the festival became an annual event, first in September and, since 1951, in May. So he Cannes became the world's media city.
I got the feeling that Costa Azul is known for the color of water Mediterranean Sea with the landscape surrounded by mountains. And while Nice and Cannes have very beautiful beaches of clear water, generally have pebbles, and sand are brought in trucks and located in areas defined. Then I will tell you the beaches of San Sebastian, where I got a better impression.
After Nice and Cannes choose not to go the route of the coast and then we know we lost Saint Tropez, Marseille , etc), and take everything for highway to Barcelona in Spain , because we were expecting a Mauricio known we were going to stay in your home.
