The Immosol team is talking about holidays, summer, sunshine, activities in Cannes… Can you picture yourself there already?
Cannes, also known as the “French Riviera,” is renowned for its sunshine, its Cannes Film Festival, and its beautiful avenue La Croisette!
Today, we’ve put together a list of 10 things to do when you come on holiday in summer on the French Riviera, and more specifically in Cannes! Are you ready?
1. The Lérins Islands
A beautiful French archipelago about twenty minutes by boat from Cannes, the Lérins Islands are the must-see destination on the French Riviera!
They comprise 5 small islands that you can visit. These islands are ideal if you want to spend a relaxing and peaceful time while enjoying the sunshine for a day.
A shuttle can take you there, departing from Cannes every hour from 8 AM, every day of the week. As for returns, they are also every hour from 8:30 AM.
So, what are you waiting for to book your tickets? Please note, you cannot stay overnight on the islands!

Summer means sunshine, which means sea… Wouldn’t this be the perfect opportunity to enjoy water activities? Jet ski, banana boat, inflatable… there’s something for all tastes and above all for all thrills! Also enjoy the most beautiful beaches in Cannes.
3. Le Suquet
A very charming neighborhood where you can wander the streets and take lovely souvenir photos. Le Suquet has a very particular history, since in the 1st century BC it was “the Ligurians” who erected a fortified camp there, before being favored by the first tourists and becoming the current “Le Suquet.”
