Cannes, France

Overflowing with glamour and cinematic prestige, Cannes is the French Riviera's “joie de vivre” come to life. Drift along the famed Boulevard de la Croisette, where immaculate beaches fringe the turquoise Mediterranean. Luxuriate in the scene—designer boutiques line the promenade, their windows showcasing the latest collections, while elegant yachts bob gently offshore. Cannes isn't just about outward extravagance; history buffs will appreciate the Le Suquet, the old town perched atop a hill, offering panoramic views and remnants of a medieval castle. For a touch of Hollywood glamour, follow the footprints on the Allée des Étoiles, Cannes' equivalent of the Walk of Fame.
