Kermode Uncut: Cannes 2010 Day 4 – So what’s good this year?
On a diet of about four films per day including Mike Leigh’s Another Year, Gregg Araki’s Kaboom, the cultish possessed car tyre movie Rubber, Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Talll Dark Stranger, and Hideo Nakata’s Chatroom, I can’t argue that most food groups aren’t being served this year, but who is looking like Chef of the Cannes kitchen at the halfway point?

Live the Good Life in a Luxury Home in Cannes
When one talks of luxury real estate, Cannes, on the French Riviera is right there on top with the likes of Tuscany, Abu Dhabi or the Caribbean. Its strategic location on the Cote D’Azur apart, Cannes’ pleasant temperate weather, high-end lifestyle mingled with carefully preserved natural & historical treasures and its recognition as one of the glamour capitals of the world, thanks to the Cannes Film Festival, makes it one of the first places to consider when looking for luxury real estate and properties.
Cannes has every kind of luxury accommodation to suit the needs of tourists looking for a luxury vacation, business travellers looking to mix some pleasure into work, investors looking at great returns, and families looking to settle on one of the most coveted coastlines in the Mediterranean. For those seeking indulgence and magnificence in real estate, Cannes has no dearth of varieties. Luxury apartments, penthouses, villas, manors, chateaux, bastides, farmhouses and even vineyards are available for sale or on rent, all year round. A well placed and resourceful luxury real estate agency should easily be able to offer you a wide selection comprising of all this and much more.
That’s not all, luxury properties in Cannes are more than just impressive architecture, modern in-house comforts and breath-taking views; almost every luxury home in Cannes comes with swimming pools, gardens, tennis courts and acres of manicured lawns. Proximity to golf courses, beaches, shopping plazas and nightclubs is a given. In fact, when it comes to luxury real estate, Cannes’ agencies that deal with elitist clientele will bring in a lot more to the table – legal and financial expertise, investment advice and management, property servicing and maintenance as well as interior design.
Cannes’ stature as an haute holiday destination, its association with glamour, its inherent natural beauty and its cultural and historical significance have created many prime locations in and around the city. Whether it’s a luxurious and yet functional apartment or penthouse along La Croisette; or a quaint little villa with a breathtaking view of the Meditteranean on Le Suquet; or an impressive luxury manor along the prestigious Quartier des Anglais; there’s a good chance you’ll have a hard time choosing any one from all the options you have.
When it comes to the best of luxury real estate, Cannes is sure to fulfil every desire and much more. Considering the nature of your investment in Cannes, it is very important for you to find an experienced and professional real estate agency that anticipates your concerns and ensures complete satisfaction. Thus, while finding the right property may be a pleasantly overwhelming process, finding the right intermediaries becomes a far more pressing and primary concern. We strongly suggest going only for an agency that has been dealing with luxury properties on the French Riviera for at least a decade, if not longer. It is important that the agency have a wide-ranging portfolio of luxury properties of all types, as well as elite clientele. By being as particular of the agency as you would be of the property, you can ensure your property investment in Cannes offers you great returns – monetarily and otherwise.
