The Cannes Film Festival takes place between the May 13th-24th 2009 and many of P&V's properties are ideally located for both celebrity spotting at the 'Palais des Festivals' in Cannes and exploring the beaches and towns along the French Riviera, including the lively harbour of Antibes and picturesque Mandelieu.

Firstly, three nights in the Cannes Beach studio apartment, sleeping two people, starts from £328 per apartment from the May 13th-16th 2009. This works out at just £55 per person, per night.

Located just 50 metres from the beach and with stunning sea views, the Pierre & Vacances Cannes Beach property is in an ideal location for a short break on the French Riviera.

The 'Palais des Festivals', where the Film Festival takes place, is less than ten minutes away and the Cannes-La-Bocca shopping quarter is on the property's doorstep. All apartments are equipped with terraces or balconies and the accommodation also includes a fitness suite, jacuzzi and restaurant.

Or how about the Mandelieu?

Located on an island in the bend of the La Siagne River, just 800 metres from the sea, the Résidence Pierre & Vacances Mandelieu is spread over a five-hectare estate.

The property is located just one kilometre from the local shops and has a range of sports and leisure facilities on site. The centre of Cannes is a short shuttle bus away and the events of the Cannes Film Festival can be reached in less than ten minutes.
