The 3 iconic places to discover in Cannes

It's impossible to stay in Cannes without discovering its must-sees! The town is packed with heritage, cultural and natural treasures that appeal to the curious and history buff alike. Here are three places not to be missed during your holiday rental stay.

1. The Croisette

A true emblem of Cannes, the Croisette embodies all the splendour of the city. Its majestic palaces, luxury boutiques and chic atmosphere make it an unmissable spot for travellers in search of elegance. Take the time to stroll along the seafront, admire the view of the Mediterranean and listen to the fascinating stories told by the locals: a total immersion in the soul of Cannes.

2. Le Suquet

This historic district of Cannes offers a different face of the destination, combining charm and a change of scenery. Climb to the top of this hill and you'll discover picturesque alleyways lined with colourful houses, lively little squares and an unbeatable panoramic view over the Bay of Cannes. This is where the authentic heart of the town beats, far from the glitz and glamour of the Croisette. Don't miss the Notre-Dame d'Espérance church and its emblematic bell tower, perfect for a cultural and contemplative break. Le Suquet is the ideal place to experience the Provencal soul of Cannes, with its traditions, history and gentle way of life.

3. The Lérins Islands

Located just a few minutes by boat from the port of Cannes, the Îles de Lérins offer a haven of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The island of Sainte-Marguerite boasts shady paths and a royal fort steeped in history, while the island of Saint-Honorat is home to a Cistercian monastery that is still in operation. It's the perfect escape for a day combining nature, culture and serenity, with the added bonus of turquoise waters ideal for swimming or snorkelling.

The ideal season to rent a holiday rental in Cannes

Each season in Cannes offers a new perspective, contributing to the town's unique appeal. Depending on your preferences, your holiday rental stay will take a different turn!

In spring, Cannes slowly awakens: gardens and parks are adorned with colourful flowers, café terraces see visitors return, and the mildness of the air invites exploration. It's the perfect time to wander around the city, stroll through the lively markets, or enjoy a nature break close to the centre. Spring holidays are synonymous with relaxation and wonder for travellers.

When summer arrives, Cannes is transformed into a vibrant and friendly place. Festivals, exhibitions, seaside strolls and lively evenings are all on the agenda: the city comes alive to the rhythm of the sun. Renting a holiday apartment during this season means you can fully immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of Cannes, while still having your own flat in which to recharge your batteries after a day full of discoveries.

In autumn, Cannes becomes quieter and reveals a more authentic face. Temperatures remain pleasant, perfect for enjoying the beaches without the summer crowds or exploring the picturesque lanes of Le Suquet. It's also the ideal season for food lovers, with markets brimming with local produce and more intimate cultural events. Renting a property at this time of year means savouring the Côte d'Azur in complete tranquillity, with its gentle pace of life and Mediterranean charm.

Finally, winter in Cannes is distinguished by its serenity and elegance. The climate remains mild, offering the chance to enjoy beautiful walks by the sea or in the Provencal hinterland. The end-of-year illuminations and events such as the International Games Festival and trade fairs bring the town to life. A winter holiday rental allows you to enjoy Cannes in a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a rejuvenating stay in the heart of the Riviera.
