Cannes, Best Europe's Leading Festival & Event Destination 2021
World-renowned for its film festival, Cannes and its Palais des Festivals et des Congrès has for years hosted the biggest international festivals and events such as the Cannes Film Festival, CANNESERIES, MIPIM, Cannes Lions, the Tax Free World Exhibition, the Cannes Yachting Festival, the International Festival of Games, and the Cannes - Côte d'Azur France Dance Festival.
Cannes is the only French destination nominated in this category against Barcelona (Spain), Budapest (Hungary), Dublin (Ireland), London (England), the Madeira Islands, Moscow (Russia), Munich (Germany) and Venice (Italy).
Cannes, Best Europe's Leading Beach Destination 2021
Three years of work, re-sanding, historical enlargement, then harmonisation and beautification have transformed the beaches of the Croisette. The Bay of Cannes is today a wonderful place for relaxing and swimming with its white sand and turquoise waters renowned for their quality. Its harmonised yet personalised establishments are home to quiet restaurants or festive venues all year round.
It’s also a city on a human scale, where hotels and shops run along the beaches. Its old town also offers opportunities for wonderful walks with an authentic feel.
Cannes is thus the only French representative at the World Travel Awards 2021 to become the best Europe's Leading Beach Destination.
It faces formidable competitors such as Corfu (Greece), Majorca (Spain), Marbella (Spain), Porto Santo (Madeira), Sardinia (Italy) and the Algarve (Portugal).
