Cannes was a fishing village up to the mid 19th century, when it was "found" by french and foreign aristocrats who built holidays homes here.
In early 1870 the "Croisette" was built, still considered the "meeting place of the rich and beautiful".
Since then Cannes has stretched itself all along the coast.
More than three million tourists visit Cannes per year. There are about 130 hotels with some 8000 rooms, three casinos, restaurants, cafes, clubs, discos....
The Carlton Hotel, meanwhile part of the InterContinental chain, was built from 1909 to 1911.
The hotel was a central location for the Alfred Hitchcock film "To Catch a Thief" (1955), as well as in 1970 Peter Sellers´and Goldie Hawn´s comedy "There's a Girl in My Soup".
During the annual film festival "Festival de Cannes", movie stars from around the world live here.
