Luxury Vacations Cannes : Just what can you do on one ?

page top

Luxury vacations in Cannes have been a hot favourite of the rich and super-rich - then of the English and Russian Aristocracy, and now of Arab Sheikhs, movie starlets and multi-millionaires. Cannes attracts them because it is a unique mixture of the finest luxuries, style and elegance - the best of France. And it did not become glamorous and refined overnight - several generations of refined rich people have contributed to making it what it is today.

Situated in the beautiful French Riviera, Cannes - some people say - might be the most glamorous town of French Riviera. Flanked by the Alps on one side and the Mediterranean on the other, Cannes is a 125 mile stretch that has earned a reputation as a place for beautiful people ... and for the super-rich.
