What's On Guide Cannes
Cannes in September takes to the water with the Boat Show - Festival International de la Plaisance - from 8 September. Entrance is 15 euros and it is the largest boat show on water in Europe. A free boat service links the two show venues - Vieux Port and Port Canto - providing that Cannes WOW factor.
The very first sailing race on the Riviera took place in Cannes in 1852. Now called the Royal Regatta, it takes place 18-26 September. About 150 yachts of all ages and sizes take part with more than 1000 crew members and their support staff living and socialising at the side of the Vieux Port.
From the beaches along the boulevard du Midi it is like watching ballet on water - a truly magnificent sight.
