Soon the 71st edition of the Cannes Film Festival will seem like a distant memory. Although we'll still talk about the dresses, the red carpet drama and enjoy the films, we can now start to look forward to the 2019 event.

The 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival will be hosted from the 14th to the 25th May 2019. It may seem like a long time to wait but there is no shortage of other events in Cannes over the coming months to take your mind off the infamous Film Festival and allow you to enjoy summer 2018 in style on the French Riviera. 

In a town dripping with glamour and filled with history, culture and couture, there are plenty of things to see, to do and to experience that will ensure your time in Cannes is well spent.
