Gay Open House: Yes, you can do Cannes

September 13, 2022 Queer Forty Staff 7 min read

If the red carpet is your thing and you love to schmooze with the glitterati, then Cannes on the French Riviera will not disappoint.

Festival de Cannes is a sight to behold, as is the world famous Croisette. There are designer boutiques on every corner, but away from the bright lights and the super yachts in the marina, Cannes has a wonderful old town, perched high above — Le Suquet, with its great charm.

This month offers up a trio of wonderful properties any film star would want to call home: two apartments in prime locations and a magical estate offering great privacy — and with the US Dollar and Euro close to parity, now is a great time to bag a bargain on the Cote d’Azur.

Our monthly real estate feature sees us team up again with Welshman Rhodri Ellis Owen and Canadian Jameson Farn at LGBTQ Real Estate to bring you some of the finest vacation rentals and real estate on the planet. Based in the South of France, but covering properties all over Europe, the guys at LGBTQ Real Estate pride themselves on their VIP level of personal service which is always delivered without prejudice. The business is dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ sellers, buyers and their friends to find their perfect property match.
