Everyone heard of Cannes. And the most famous city of the
French Riviera is associated with different events and people from person to
person. But Cannes,
first of all, is the perfect place forvery wealthy people and celebrities. And anyone wants to live as beautiful
and luxury as possible.
Enjoy some
statistic data for introduction. So, Cannes is a
small town on the Mediterranean shore
of France, near to the Napoule,
with the population of residents of approximately 70 thousand people. The Mediterranean
climate is here in the town and its suburbs, with typical soft moderate
temperature regime within a year; and the indicators of average temperature is
the evidence for that, with 10 degrees in winter, and 13 degrees in spring,
while in summer the temperature is 21 degrees, and 16 degrees in the autumn.
The town now is spread for 9
kilometers along the sea shore, including the popular La Croisette Quay, Antibes Street, Walk
of Freedom and the Festival
Palace, the place to hold
the legendary Cannes Festival, being the most prestigious Cinema Festival in
the world.
We are glad
to make a short excursion to the past to let you know how come that a small
town in France gained the
reputation of the main resort at Cote d'-Azur.
The first settlement was founded here in the year 42 A.D. when the Romans set
the dwelling called Aegtina here. The town was renamed approximately thousand years
ago for Cannes, and as experts state the word «Cannes» comes from the
plant growing here in the reed. During the middle Ages these lands were possessed
by one of the monasteries, and Cannes
was the ordinary fishing village (!). The situation was like that till XIX century
when the moderate and comfortable climate and beauty of the shore attracted the
attention of people.
The actual
«founder» of the modern Cannes
is the English lord Brougham who incidentally visited this place in 1834. He
liked the place so much that he constructed the residence here and lived there.
When he died, the high society of the entire Europe came to say good bye to
him, the lord was the former chancellor of Great Britain. The European aristocrats
appreciated the beauty of the last shelter of Brougham and that was like a
triggering point to invest into the lands in Cannes and build their villas there. And when
the country road along the sea shore turned into the three-kilometer luxury La Croisette Quay two centuries
ago with the plenty of hotels, cafes and stores, Cannes was titled as one of the best resorts.
Tourists first arriving to Cannes
face hotels, which are over 100 and a lot more tour residences. The range of
hotel services does impress. You have a room subject to your taste and budget.
The luxury place at Cote d'-Azur cannot do without
four-star and five-star hotels, though there are cheaper rooms also for any
class of people.
Cannes has been the elite resort for every
time in the back, and here you enjoy the atmosphere of well-fed luxury and if
you like the active rest for the youth, including extreme kind of relaxation,
you feel hard to find something to satisfy the tastes and preferences. Cannes
is the place to relax, not the place to feel the extreme scent of freedom and permissiveness.
Nevertheless, Cannes
helps to experience bright and strong feeling as well, offering a plenty of
gambling joints where the access is available for men in smoking and ladies
should wear evening dresses to play there. La Croisette Casino
is famous in the sphere of games that is situated in the Festival Palace.
This Casino Houses has about three hundred game machines, Moreover, those who
prefer cards and roulette, find something interesting for them also, winning
and losing money.
The Cannes
Film Festival is the most legendary event that is held in the Festival
Palace.
If you arrive to the town in May, you will see the celebrities and
famous
people all over the town not only on the red carpet. Cannes is the
place where people are
accustomed to celebrities and they do no express their love and
obtrusive wish
to talk to them, that it is easy for stars to walk in the streets
freely. Apart
from Cannes Film Festival a range of congresses and sessions are held
in Cannes yielding to only Paris in the national scale. There is the
Walk
of Fame in Cannes created like that in Hollywood, and also the
charming square to honor Prosper Merimee who lived and died here.
Those who
appreciate the luxury and beautiful things will get lost in Cannes with the abundance of splendor. The most
luxury boutiques with designer clothes and shoes, with fur items, with elite
jewelry and perfume products, and all other things that would refer to the
category of exclusive, prestigious and extremely expensive stuff may be
acquired here, in Antibe Street, that goes straight throughout the town
parallel too the se ashore and reaching the legendary La Croisette Quay.
It is
useless to say something about La Croisette
Quay. All the lavish boutiques and stores, the most
prestigious hotels and expensive restaurants and cafes, located in the most
elegant building of the town, presenting the most varied menus and wine cards,
plus 8 kilometer
of sand beaches and dams with thousands of yachts and boats, and you will have
the entire picture of what La Croisette Quay
is.
And who
cares that people want to live a wealthy and beautiful life there?
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Today the knitwear is presented in so many styles and
it is so popular that no single autumn and spring collections can do without
hosiery. Knit
women's coats are offered in classic, sporty, romantic, vintage, casual and
ethnic styles. The demand for knit coats
grows in line with the more increasing range of color and texture of woolen
yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
First established in 1860, Chopard is one of the reputed watch and jewelry houses producing incredibly beautiful, fascinating jewelry items and watches of dream. The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
Perfume launched y the Japanese brands or the one inspired by the Japanese culture is something so special in the international market of perfume. Unlike the other fragrances produced in bulk, such perfume with the traces of Japanese inspiration and life surely exert attention and this is reasonable: it is not only the perfume to market and ear money but the whole philosophy, covert but absolute. So, most perfume launched by the famous Japanese culture followers take their niches in the global market, like Kenzo and Issey Miyake. Issey Miyake launched the genially iconic fragrance of the 90s with such a simple and unpretentious name as Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey.
