City of Destination
The Coastal district, Cros-de-Cagnes, Haut-de-Cagnes made the Cannes. The main square, Auguste-Renoir runs right of the place de Gaulle and crosses the road to La Gaude. Basically it is situated, 905km (562 miles) S of Paris; 164km (101 miles) E of Marseille; 26km (16 miles) SW of Nice. At the top of place de Gaulle, the main square in Cagnes-sur-Mer , avenue Auguste-Renoir runs right and crosses the road to La Gaude. A short way further on, chemin des Collettes leads off to the left up to Les Collettes , the house that Renoir had built in 1908 and where he spent the last twelve years of his life. It's now a memorial museum, and you're free to wander around the house and through the olive and rare orange groves that surround it. One of the two studios in the house - north-facing to catch the late afternoon light - is arranged as if Renoir had just popped out. Albert André's painting, A Renoir Painting, shows the ageing artist hunched over his canvas; plus there's a bust of him by Aristide Maillol, and a crayon sketch by Richard Guido. Cannes is at its most frenzied during the International Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals on promenade de la Croisette. On the seafront boulevards, flashbulbs pop as the stars and wannabes emerge and pose and pose and pose. "The bunker," this concrete structure is the venue for premiers that draw some 5,000 spectators. International regattas, galas, concours d'élégance, and even a Mimosa Festival in February -- something's always happening at Cannes, except in November, traditionally a dead month.
