Cannes is first and foremost a signature, an international benchmark in the whole world's spotlights. Its famous film festival brought the town to the world's attention, its iconic Croisette and Palais des Festivals et des Congrès which hosts the biggest international events. Cannes is a cultural and sporty town too, the outdoor sports capital, and a prime location with its sunny climate, fine sand beaches and luxurious palaces; a place that's true to its roots with Le Suquet old town and the Provençal flavours bursting from Forville market. The Lérins Islands, whose Saint-Honorat Island and its monastery is applying to be a UNESCO World Heritage site, capture its natural beauty. It's an innovative town, the home of European aerospace with Thales Alenia Space, focused on creative business with its Cité des entreprise university campus and has unrivalled expertise in hospitality. A real international village which, since it was discovered by Lord Brougham in 1834, has never stopped protecting its roots whilst welcoming in the world.
