Located on the Riviera, Cannes is very attractive for its cultural life and for its touristic side.

This destination gives the opportunity to athletes to enjoy a beautiful beach for swimming, a tough and demanding bike segment and a run race through the historical centre of the movies capital of France, on April 29. This is going to be one of the earliest triathlon in Europe, an unique chance to start the season in France, bringing the opportunity to athletes and their families to enjoy this hot spot to the Mediterranean area. Fun is guaranteed. Triathletes will race in the same streets where the actors pass during the Cannes Festival. This race is organized by Star Production France, and Manuela Garelli is the race director.
