Les Plages Electroniques, Cannes

Every August since 2006, the beach at Palais des Festivals is transformed into a large dance floor.

This hugely successful event has been made even more popular by the cheap entry tickets, normally around €15. This is a unique chance to dance to electronic music on the beach in one of the most exclusive resorts in the Mediterranean.

The event closes just after midnight but the local clubs will be putting on a host of after-parties.
