Cannes has linked its name to the world of cinema since 1946, a long sequence which lasts for 70 years, a romance on the big screen under the eyes of the whole world.

Zoom on to the inevitable places of a star that succeed all its facelifts.
From the Croisette ...
The old path of the small cross has become the most famous promenade of the French Riviera, La Croisette with its palm trees, its palaces, its luxury boutiques and its sumptuous Art Deco buildings, the boulevard opens a turquoise way on the bay of Cannes and on its two beauty spots, the Lérins Islands. Eternity of a maritime decor and posterity of the major of the cinema. Actors and directors have frozen their footprints on the path of the Stars in front of the Palais des Festivals and on the Esplanade Pompidou.

Then a stroll in a typical Provencal atmosphere towards the Allées de la Liberté, with its daily flower market and its flea market on weekends. Fragrances and colors always with the beautiful forest park of la Croix des Gardes and its 20km of marked trails.
