Film festival town in the south of France (6)

I believe the answer is:

cannes

(Other definitions for cannes that I've seen before include "An annual film festival is held here" , "French city with annual film festival - sounds permissive" , "French town with annual film festival - sounds permissive" , "Film festival resort on the French Riviera" , "South of France resort" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
