Cannes

Famous for its international film festival, Cannes offers students a window into global culture, media, and Mediterranean history. Beyond the red carpets, the city’s old quarter, Le Suquet, reveals layers of Provençal heritage with cobbled streets and sweeping views of the coast. Visits to local markets and museums introduce students to regional art and cuisine, while boat trips to the nearby Lérins Islands provide insight into monastic history and coastal ecology. Cannes balances glamour with substance, giving students opportunities to explore communication, history, and the environment in one dynamic setting.
