Palm Beach Casino

Cannes is a city in the French Riviera. Chances are you’ve heard of it – it’s home to the annual Cannes Film Festival and the perhaps lesser known, Cannes Lion International Advertising Festival. Tourists and celebrities come in droves for the festivals, hotels, restaurants and luxury shops. Head to Promenade de la Croisette, with its palm trees, beaches, cafes, boutiques and restaurants. Stroll along the shore, enjoy drinks and dinner, and maybe even catch the odd celebrity nearby. For a bit of local history, try the Musee d’Art et d’Histoire de Provence, set in an 18th century mansion. Other museums include the Musee de la Castre, Musee de la Marine, the Musee de la Mer, the Musee dela Photographie and the Musee International de la Parfumerie. Once you've finished sight-seeing and people-watching, head on into the casino.
