Festival de Cannes
Mid-May · Cannes
Red carpet, palm trees, and more paparazzi than seagulls. Even if you can't get in, the Croisette transforms into a 10-day celebrity safari.
since 1946
Côte d'Azur · Provence · Occitanie
A playful little guide to what's happening between the Alps and the Mediterranean — film stars, flying tomatoes, fireworks over the Old Port, and the world's longest dinner table.
Tap a card to flip it. Each one is real, and gloriously bonkers.

Late June – August · Valensole
Endless purple stripes humming with bees. Drive the Route de la Lavande at sunrise — you'll smell it before you see it.

July · Avignon
The whole walled city becomes a stage. 1,500+ shows, jugglers in the streets, theatre kids drinking rosé on every corner.

August · Bessan
France's answer to Buñol — wear white, regret it immediately. Two tonnes of overripe tomatoes, one very joyful village square.

Mid-July · Juan-les-Pins
Europe's oldest jazz festival, under a 200-year-old pine grove, two metres from the sea. Miles Davis played here. So has everyone since.
since 1960
14 July · Nice & Marseille
Fireworks over the Promenade des Anglais and the Vieux-Port. Picnic on the pebbles, fight the seagulls for your pan-bagnat.
free + fabulous
Pentecost · Nîmes
A million people, brass bands on every corner, paella the size of swimming pools. The Roman arena hosts the main event.

February · Menton
145 tonnes of citrus sculpted into giant floats. Yes, the dragons are made of lemons. Yes, you can eat them after.

February · Nice
One of the world's three biggest carnivals. Battle of the Flowers, giant papier-mâché kings, and confetti for days.

Hover the dots — each one is a different vibe.
Press play. Imagine the warm wind.
Three questions. One destiny.
It's August. Where do you want to be?
