My personal tip

Every summer the town of Cannes organises a fireworks festival where leading creators of fireworks get an opportunity to delight and impress us with their pyrotechnical skills. A truly remarkable event of high quality, and should one opt for a dinner table reservation by the waterfront, the experience will be even more magical. For information and dates, please contact the Tourism office in Cannes.

On a more serious note...

There are more than 1600 real-estate agencies in Alpes-Maritimes. Exclusive sales instructions are rare. As a result, the prices and descriptions for a given property can vary enormously from one broker to another. Make sure to ask for the mandatory diagnoses and more in-depth documentation before making an offer. It is important that you are guided by certified professionals (estate agents & notaries), and do not hesitate to ask for references.
