Cannes - Monaco: a little history
Cannes and Monaco, two jewels of the Côte d’Azur, share a past marked by European aristocracy, prestige and the rapid evolution of luxury tourism.
Cannes
Once a modest fishing village, Cannes was propelled onto the international stage in the 19th century by Lord Brougham, a British aristocrat who fell in love with the region. He had a villa built and attracted European nobility with him.
The Cannes Film Festival, created in 1946, firmly established the city as the world capital of cinema and glamour. Today, the Croisette, palaces and private beaches embody Mediterranean elegance.
Monaco
The Principality of Monaco has been an independent state since 1297, ruled by the Grimaldi dynasty. Its economic boom is linked to the opening of the Casino de Monte-Carlo in 1863, and its status as a tax haven, which attracts wealthy individuals and companies.
The marriage of Prince Rainier III to Grace Kelly in 1956 reinforced Monaco’s Hollywood aura. Today, it’s a symbol of refinement, financial power and car culture (with the legendary F1 Grand Prix).
The helicopter transfer between Cannes and Monaco is part of this elite tradition: a direct link between two places steeped in history, luxury and influence.
