Every May, people jam the scenic town of Cannes, France, for its internationally renowned film festival.
Stroll along La Croisette, the elegant seaside promenade, to the Palm Beach Casino, and visit the old harbor.
In Le Suquet, the old part of the city, it's fun just to walk around, looking at the lovely flower gardens and shopping on the Rue d'Antibes. The Isles de Lerins are still a short ferry ride away, and just to the north is Grasse, the heart of the national perfume industry. Thousands of tons of flowers are processed there every year, providing the basic ingredients for most of France's major perfume brands.
