Let's protect the planet

In the city

🌱 Reducing your carbon footprint

Cannes has a well-developed public transport network: buses, trains, cycle paths and bike rental services. Choosing these alternatives to the car directly reduces CO₂ emissions during your stay.

🏖️ Beach and trail clean-ups

Participating in beach clean-ups helps preserve the natural beauty of Cannes' coastline and protect marine life from plastic waste. Mountain trail initiatives keep these natural spaces accessible to all.

🦋 Respecting local biodiversity

Stay on marked paths, don't pick plants, and observe wildlife from a distance. The region is home to protected species — inform yourself to avoid harmful interactions with local flora and fauna.

At home

♻️ Sorting and recycling

Set up separate bins for paper, plastic, glass and organic waste. Find out about Cannes's specific sorting rules and involve all family members, especially children.

🧴 Reducing plastic

Replace single-use items (bottles, bags, straws) with reusable alternatives: stainless steel bottles, fabric bags, bamboo straws. Choose products with minimal plastic packaging.

Eco-friendly hygiene & cleaning

🍋 Natural household products

Make your own cleaning products: white vinegar (disinfectant), bicarbonate of soda (gentle abrasive), lemon (degreaser), essential oils (antibacterial). Replace paper towels and wipes with reusable microfibre cloths.

🗑️ Public bins and nature

Use public bins and leave no trace in natural spaces. Follow the "pack it in, pack it out" rule: everything you bring must leave with you.
