Did You Know?
In contrast to its booming artistic culture of today, Cannes was once a small agricultural and fishing town during the Middle Ages. It’s quaint charm and beautiful sandy beaches caught the eye of French aristocrats in the early 19th Century, which eventually lead to the economic boom and international acclaim that it experiences today.
The Cannes Film Festival did not take place one year when famous French director Francois Truffaut boycotted the event due to the political revolts in 1968.
