It is here that the real glamour begins: the dreamland of sapphire waters and indigo sky; white villas, evenings are air perfumed with jasmine and mimosa; palm trees and parasol pines silhouetted against sunsets of apricot and gold. Behind the coast, medieval villages mushroom out of the nearby hills, offering refugees a taste of old Provence. Cannes becomes a hive of activity during the International Film Festival, regattas, galas, and even a Mimosa Festival. The city consists of only one street, promenade de la Croisette, which curves along the coast.
