Vieux Port is the heart of Cannes' maritime activity and one of the oldest harbors on the French Riviera. Located at the foot of the historic Le Suquet hill, the port is a blend of traditional fishing boats and gleaming superyachts, reflecting Cannes' dual identity as a working port and a glamorous destination. Strolling along the Quai Saint-Pierre, visitors can watch the boats come and go, dine at seafood restaurants, or simply enjoy the views of the old town rising behind. The port is also the departure point for ferries to the Lérins Islands. During the Cannes Film Festival, the port becomes a hub of celebrity arrivals and red-carpet events.
