Cannes Film Festival takes place from May 12th to 23rd and is one of the biggest and most famous celebrations of cinema in the world – finding a property in France could be the best way to experience this unique event.

Famous for the abundance of film stars frolicking on the beach and fractious confrontations at screenings, the festival also has a history of upholding artistic standards within an industry increasingly dominated by Hollywood sensationalism.

Anyone with an interest in cinema may feel that a property in France is a front-row ticket to one of the biggest events in the movie calendar.

Cannes Film Festival was originally intended as a wartime response to the Venice Film Festival, which was seen as being run by fascist stooges, according to whatsonwhen.

In addition to the main event, the festival has a competitive short film competition and the Un Certain Regard competition which includes high-quality features deemed unsuitable for the main competition.
