Other Places in France

Cannes
An internationally renowned destination, the luxurious town of Cannes is where a number of France’s most deluxe hotels are located. Many will be familiar with the annual Cannes Film Festival which takes place in the middle of May, and it won’t be long before you are retracing the steps of many of the world’s most famous actors. Stroll along La Croisette and the sandy coast of Cannes where the views of the beach are picturesque and there is a wonderful choice of cafes and restaurants; discover streets lined with the most famous and expensive designer shops and stores. When on holiday in Cannes take a boat trip from the yacht-lined harbour to the Lerin Islands (Les Iles de Lerins) and visit the fortress of Ile Ste Marguerite.
Marseille
Looking out across the azure Mediterranean sea, surrounded by rolling hills and the white limestone cliffs of the famous Calanques, Marseille enjoys a truly fantastic setting. And as many Marseillais will tell you, in that peculiar accent that foreigners find both alluring and tricky to understand, they love their city here, and they are proud of it too.
Paris
Paris is the city of a thousand clichés - the ‘City of Lights’, and Hemingway’s much quoted ‘Moveable Feast’ amongst them, but for once it is also a city that justifies the hype. The French capital is one of the world’s truly great cities, a metropolis that lavishly satisfies the desires of tourists and business people alike and manages to retain a standard of living that makes becoming a Parisian so alluring.
