LE SUQUET
Predating the glitz and glam of the town's festival days, Cannes' historic quarter has
retained a quaint village feel with its steep, meandering alleyways.

Landmark

(Festival Palace; bd de la Croisette) At the western end of La Croisette, this concrete
bunker is the unlikely host of the world's most-glamorous film festival. The tourist of-
fice runs 1½-hour guided tours (adult/child €3/free; 2.30pm) several times a

month, except in May.

BEACHES
The central, sandy beaches along bd de la Croisette are sectioned off for hotel pat-
rons.
