\n\t\"Cannes,\n\t
Cannes, South of France<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mention the name Cannes to anyone and he or she will immediately think of the world famous film festival. <\/strong>But there\u2019s much more to this seaside town than the glitz and glamour that the celebrities bring once a year.\u00a0 In fact, the best time to visit Cannes may be the fall<\/strong>, when most of the tourists have gone home, and you can truly explore the city and all that is has to offer.\u00a0 A vacation rental in Cannes<\/a><\/strong> from New York Habitat is a wonderful way to get the real feel of the city.<\/p>\n

Of course, one of the top attractions in Cannes<\/a> is the beach<\/strong>, which can be enjoyed year-round, thank to the region\u2019s mild climate.\u00a0 Set up camp in a lounge chair under a large umbrella and enjoy the views of the Mediterranean while relaxing the day away.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like a little more action, walk up and down the picturesque La Croisette, Cannes\u2019 version of a boardwalk, lined with high-end shops, caf\u00e9s, and restaurants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Make sure to take a ferry out to visit the small islands off the coast, known as the Iles de L\u00e9rins<\/strong>.\u00a0 The smaller one, Ile Saint Honorat, is home to a monastery that dates back to the middle ages<\/strong>, and many other medieval relics.\u00a0 The larger one, Ile Sainte Marguerite, is a large forested island that was home to the infamous \u2018Man in the Iron Mask\u2019 for eleven years<\/strong>.\u00a0 Visit the Mus\u00e9e de la Mer (Museum of the Sea) on the island which features this mysterious man and his life, among other diverse exhibits.\u00a0 The city of Cannes itself has numerous museums as well, including the Mus\u00e9e de la Parfumerie, dedicated to the history and making of perfume<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
