Highly recommend tourists to discover the old quartier of Cannes which is less commercialised than the area near train station. Recommend anyone interested in history to visit Musee des explorations du monde, which is nestled within the ancient castle overlooking the old quartier. Although being a small museum, the collection of historical pieces around the world including Ancient Egypt, Greece and Africa is astonishing. The great number of artwork showing ancient Cannes and South of France are also of high historical values. The museum is also free to students.

Cannes, the red carpet movie palace, is where movie lovers gather every summer to watch celebrities walk the runway, watch new movies, and see what’s new in the world! Cannes is also a famous tourist destination, with countless people coming here every year!
When talking about Cannes, the first thing that comes to mind is the red carpet and the movie palace. However, the actual movie red carpet palace is not very big. It looks particularly big every year when there are no cameras and tourists! In Cannes without a film festival, the red carpet is a market, a place for people to communicate!

The Film Palace is famous for the Cannes Film Festival. I saw it on TV and thought it was very grand, but when I actually got there, I was a little disappointed. It was not during the film festival, and the Film Palace looked very plain and small. The red carpet road only took 2 minutes to walk, and the surrounding area was not very big.
Cannes is also a small city that is very suitable for tourism. It is also one of the good places to hold film festivals. Every gathering of the film festival is very popular, and there are quite a lot of film projects here.

The Croisette in Cannes is a famous seaside street. It feels romantic to walk, run or do nothing here. Because there are usually bars across the street, it feels very relaxing.
The Cannes International Film Festival, one of the most influential and top international film festivals in the world, is held in Cannes every year in mid-May. The climate here is mild, the sea is blue, and the sun is bright. The Croisette is the main road in Cannes, where the Palais des Festivals is located.
