Cannes, a French Riviera resort city, in the department of Alpes Maritim, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, southeast France. It is located southwest of Nice.
So named because of the high thickets on the once reedy coast, it was probably inhabited by Ligurian tribes and successively occupied by the Phocians, Celts (or Gauls) and Romans.
In the 4th century it came under the protection of the famous monks of Lerain, whose abbots were lords of Cannes and who in the 10th century built strong fortifications near Pointe des Chevaliers to protect against Muslim sea raiders.
On the first night after his return from Elba, Napoleon stationed his small army in the dunes outside the village.
The international reputation of Cannes as a resort was due to Lord Brougham, who in 1834, due to quarantine measures, was unable to enter Nice and stayed in the small fishing village of Cannes; later he built a villa for himself here and returned here every winter for 34 years.
One of the reasons for the popularity of Cannes is the famous Cannes Film Festival, which was born in the 1940s with the sole purpose of recognizing artistic achievement. Over time, the Cannes Film Festival has become an international phenomenon, bringing together thousands of famous artists, producers and tourists every year.
