Cannes Overview

Cannes, city of light, always encounters photo passionate, that know the town better than any other : revealing a detail, precising a color ... Cannes, city of stars, wishes this year to pay a tribute to photo professionals and amateurs, honoring them and recognizing them. After the Palme d'Or, supreme distinction of the cinema world, the NRJ Music Awards, the Advertising Lions or the MAPIC Awards, the tourism department of the town launches, in partnership with Sony, the first edition of the Sony World Photography Awards.

Animations, exhibitions, workshops and photo rallies will be declined all along the year around this main happening, always in line with the festivals, culture and sport events taking place in Cannes.

Cannes is the place to go on the Riviera if you're gay. The tourist info office has all kinds of flyers and 'zines on gay living on the Riviera. Or call Center Gay Associatif (tel. 93/680-300).

Le Zanzibar (85 rue Félix Faure; tel. 93/393-075; Bus 17 to Maréchal Joffre; 6:30pm-dawn daily; No credit cards), near the Palais des Festivals, has a really laid-back cafe atmosphere in the evening, both on the outdoor patio and in the indoor bar area. The music is on, but it's not overwhelming--this is the kind of place where you could actually have a conversation. Later in the night it's more bar-like, but there's still no cover, and drinks run 3 to 8 €. Zanzi is sort of the "must-go" gay bar in Cannes; it's been around for ever. A few women are on the premises, but this is a mostly male joint.
