Sometimes we lose track of local events happening in the city we live in or visit. To help you discover the many events on the French Riviera and get an overview of what’s really happening here throughout the year, we have listed the most important events:<\/em><\/p>\n

Fame<\/em> : Cannes Film Festival<\/h2>\n

We all would like to feel like a movie star and surround ourselves by the most talented actors. The Cannes Film Festival<\/a><\/em> is the Rivieras biggest media event, and it awards talented actors and stakeholders at the Palais des Festival in Cannes. The festival takes place during 12 days in May, and it is not unusual that it brings rain. If you are intersted in the city, check out our properties for sale in Cannes!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Color<\/em>\u00a0: Le Carnaval de Nice<\/h2>\n

The Carnival de Nice<\/a>,<\/em> taking place in February, is actually one of the biggest ones in the world. Two events tops the Carnival – The Nice Carnival parade and the flower battles in nearby Villefranche-sur-mer.<\/p>\n

There are five illuminated parades during the carnival and the last one where “the king” is burned is particularly worth seeing. According to the official website C\u00f4te d’Azur France<\/a>,<\/em> it\u2019s described as the most breathtaking show of the whole Carnival.<\/p>\n

In Villefranche-sur-Mer you can discover a flower battle on water! Twenty traditional boats, decorated with flowers, shows in front of thousands of people. During the battle there\u2019s also entertainment including music, shows and games.<\/p>\n
