Experience the quintessential elegance of the French Riviera during the electric atmosphere of the Cannes Film Festival. This curated 7-day journey for two perfectly balances Mediterranean glamour with smart, economy-friendly choices for an unforgettable romantic weekend getaway.

🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May on the Côte d'Azur is the "Golden Window"—expect mild temperatures between +18°C and +22°C . The "Layer" Rule: The sun is warm, but the Mediterranean breeze is crisp. Carry a light jacket or trench coat for the evenings. Festival Alert: Since you are visiting during the Cannes Film Festival (May 12–23), coastal roads will be congested. Stick to the TER trains —they are faster, cheaper, and offer stunning sea views. Sun Protection: Even if it feels cool, the Riviera sun is deceptive. Wear SPF for your walks along the Promenade.
