Just a few kilometers from the Parc Saint James holiday villages, the wonderful fireworks of Cannes
The French Riviera is very lively during the summer months. Numerous festive events, such as Bastille Day, offer the opportunity to witness spectacular fireworks displays. In Cannes, the annual Pyrotechnic Art Festival has become highly prestigious thanks to the quality of its performances. In July and August, the world's best pyrotechnicians once again come to represent their countries, each with a chosen theme. If their displays impress the jury, they will receive the Silver Vestal and be eligible to compete for the Gold Vestal the following year. A jury prize and a public prize are also awarded. It's a vibrant event that draws hundreds of thousands of spectators to the Bay of Cannes every evening.
Monaco, Nice, Antibes… The gems of the French Riviera are dazzling
