The city of Cannes
if perhaps most famous for its annual film
festival; however, it was the scene of significant activity long before
the arrival of celluloid and has a long and interesting history dating
back thousands of years. Today, its atmosphere of vibrancy and cultural
richness is fortified by it proud heritage.
Evidence exists to suggest
that civilisations inhabited the area we
now know as Cannes
as early as the 2nd century BC. It’s believed that
the Oxybian tribe from Liguria formed various settlements here, which
came under the name Aegitna. Historians are unsure of the meaning of
this name, but what is known is that initially the area was little more
than a simple fishing village used as a port of call between the
Lérins
Islands. Life in Aegitna was fairly uneventful until the year 69 AD,
when it became the scene of a violent conflict between the troops of
Othos and Vitellius, and this marked a significant period of
unsettlement in the area.
Cannes
Film Festival
The Cannes
Film Festival (French : le Festival international du film
de Cannes
or simply le Festival de Cannes),
founded in 1939, is
considered one of the world's most prestigious film festivals and is a
part of the history of Cannes.
It is the highlight of the city’s event
calendar and is a two-week long event that sees the city descended upon
by major Hollywood actors and directors as well as a large number of
independent film makers. Movies are screened throughout the period.
In May 2006, Hollywood
Reporter acknowledged that Cannes
is the
"granddaddy of all film festivals". The private festival is held
annually; usually in the month of May.
Penthouse
An island of greenery up in the air, rather like a
modern-day
resurgence of the Gardens of Babylon, the penthouse is in high demand
on the
Côte d’Azur.
With 300 days of sunshine a year and towns at the
edge of the Mediterranean, the region seems the perfect spot in which
to develop this ideal compromise between an apartment and a private
house. Offering lower maintenance and the security of the first, it
benefits from the privacy and prestige of the second.
