The International Film Festival is held in Cannes every year since 1939 when the French, British and Americans petitioned against the destruction of unbiased artistic appreciation due to politics during the time of the Second World War. Glitzy movie stars flock to the Festival Palace on the hope of receiving the festival’s top prize, the Golden Lion or Golden Palm. Cannes is the place to be during the Film Festival when celebrities are the top attraction. Souvenir snapshots around the stairs of the Festival Palace, where the surrounding concrete contains the imprints of world famous hands and autographs, are popular.

Cannes' International Film Festival is a most superlative affair, a time when Cannes city is the place to see and be seen. The first rate Cannes hotels are geared up to accommodation the rich and famous so your comfort is assured.
