Many Britons will have followed the news of nine celebrities who made the trek up Kilimanjaro last week in support of Comic Relief (Red Nose Day). Among them, Chris Moyles, Fearne Cotton, Alesha Dixon, Denise Van Outen, Ben Shephard, Kimberley Walsh, Ronan Keating, Cheryl Cole and Gary Barlow.
Past few centuries Cannes wasn"t the same what it is now. The "old town", Le Suquet as it overlooks the west end of the port. It is an area of narrow streets climbing steeply up a hill crowned by an 11th century tower. The views from the top are incredible and you can see right across the city and port and out of the bay to the Cap de la Croisette. Looking west, the views stretch over the Gulf of La Napoule towards the Massif de l`Esterel. It is from this viewing platform alone that one can intensify what must have attracted tourists to Cannes.
