Even before the glitterrati popularized it, the French Riviera and its sun-kissed cities attracted many artists, including masters such as Picasso and Monet who were inspired by the fresh air and quality of light -- not to mention the gorgeous scenery. Cannes is no exception.
- La Croisette
Cannes' palm-lined main boulevard is ideal for strolling and people watching. It stretches for two miles with sandy beach and public gardens on one side and luxury hotels, cafes, shops and villas on the other.
- Palais des Festivals
Home to the glitzy international Cannes Film Festival where movie stars mingle with models and moguls while the paparazzi have a field day.
- Monte Carlo
This tiny sovereign state is home to the Grand Casino, Monaco's Royal Palace and St. Nicholas Cathedral, where Princess Grace married Prince Ranier III, and where she rests today.
