Cannes

Cannes, a resort town on the French Riviera, is famed for its international film festival. Its Boulevard de la Croisette, curving along the coast, is lined with sandy beaches, upmarket boutiques and palatial hotels. It’s also home to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, a modern building complete with red carpet and Allée des Étoiles – Cannes’ walk of fame. Drawn by the incredible level of sport on offer and the collection of international show jumping stars in attendance, visitors enjoy the ambience, glamour and nightlife of this famous city, home of course to the dazzling Cannes Film Festival.

The City of Stars, and just a stone's throw from the world-famous La Croisette, the Longines Global Champions Tour of Cannes event is a remarkable combination of glamour and top-class sport. Held under the glittering evening lights, the very best horses and riders in the world take centre stage at the first of the evening shows.
