The Cannes Film Festival takes place in this exclusive French Riviera town and offers the perfect opportunity to "see and be seen", as the world's film stars and media descend on the town. You may not have accreditation to the "Palais des Festivals", which is reserved for film professionals, but you can soak up all the atmosphere and enjoy open air film screenings at the "Cinema on the beach". The festival is a highlight of any vacation for film buffs and celebrity watchers alike.
