 MONUMENTS & FRESCOES - FESTIVAL PALACE - ART MUSEUM - 360° PANORAMAS  - MARKET - FOOD & WINE

Do you think Cannes is all about the International Film Festival and its famous red carpet? This guided tour of the city will show you what goes on behind the scenery of this small fishing and sailors' town that became a British winter resort during the Belle Époque and then an international icon in the History of World Cinema.

Immerse yourself in its rich and fascinating history with a special itinerary through the famous Croisette, its prestigious Hotels and Palaces, its Palais des Festivals with its famous red carpet and its Walk of Fame of film stars. You'll also discover the Provencal Market, the old town with its trompe l'oeil frescoes, and the Suquet Hill with the oldest and most beautiful church in Cannes. Finally, admire its oldest medieval tower (climb up the tower for the most spectacular view of the Bay of Cannes and the Esterel) before an unusual visit to the magnificent World Exploration Museum.)

Then a visit to the Provencal Market will give you the opportunity to sample the special flavours of local cuisine (tasting of 3 specialities typical of Cannes) accompanied by 2 Provencal wines.
