Cannes dressed in her finery
“You will be free this summer to choose what suits you!” Mayor of Cannes David Lisnard said in his address on the beach of the Hotel Majestic Barrière Cannes, where the rich summer events program was unveiled.
Continuing on a poetic momentum, the Mayor added: “Change the colors of the time, change the colors of the world, as the poet used to sing; the summer in Cannes means seeing daily life in an other way because, if our city intensely lives the rhythm of each season, it is even more beautiful, bright and lively. When dressed in summer lights, it is adorned in its nicest finery!”
