Weather in Cannes

Best time to visit

Cannes can be suffocating in July and August, when throngs of well-heeled holidaymakers descend on the Côte d’Azur. If that doesn’t sound like much fun, then visit in spring or autumn. The weather is still great but it’s much quieter, except of course, during May’s International Film Festival, when the town turns into a media circus. For cheaper room rates, and a real taste of Cannes away from the flashbulbs, explore the city in winter. You won’t be swimming, but it’s still delightful.
