La Croisette Cannes

La Croisette was named after a small cross that used to stand at the east of the bay in Cannes. This has became a renowned spot for strolls among tourists and locals because it offers quite an amazing array of views. To one side of the promenade one can see the Mediterranean, the mountain range of the Esterel as well as the Lerins islands off the coast. On the other side of the promenade, you can also get a load of the elegant Belle Epoque hotels, the palm trees and the boutiques offering highly fashionable merchandise. Created during the 19th century, people-watching is also the best things to do in Cannes right on the Croisette, especially during the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival.
