Russell Crowe, Carey Mulligan and Gemma Arterton at the Cannes film festival.
As the 63rd Cannes Film Festival closes this week (May 23), have you ever wondered what it must feel like to climb the stairs in the footsteps of so many famous names and faces, at one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious film festivals?
The festival HQ, the Palais des Festivals – which also boasts a casino, as well as handprints of cinema greats - sits by the old port, at the end of the famous Promenade de la Croisette in Cannes. This attractive seafront boulevard is lined with iconic luxury hotels such as the Intercontinental Carlton and the recently refurbished Martinez which exudes Art Deco elegance. And just behind is the glamorous Rue D’Antibes, with its spectacular shopping.
An elegant, cosmopolitan resort in a splendid setting, Cannes also boasts a wonderful sandy beach (unlike its Provencal rival Nice); yet green hillside villages, such as Mougins, are not far.
away for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of a thriving city.
