A resort city like no other, Cannes is not just for film festivals. This is where Europeans wintered before there were jets to whisk them off  to farther reaches such as the Caribbean or the Seychelles. Yet no other resort town can replace the city that was the first to make eager travelers smell champagne in the air, where the beach is theater with organization, service and great vistas, where you can recline on the shore with a bottle of Dom or Moet and not incite a second glance. Charming restaurants present reasonable prices, and even winter welcomes visitors with its spring-like climate, when you can walk along the Croisette in the morning and ski the Alps in the afternoon. Even if you're not a skiier, the picturesque villages of Provence are only minutes away. This is a year-round urban resort for the sophisticated traveler.
