Cannes Diary: 201316 of 21
5/14: The Promenade de la Croisette is the main road that runs along the beach at Cannes and by the main venue for the festival, the Palais. Packed along the Croisette are ultra-swanky shops, restaurants, and hotels, such as the Carlton (the hotel from To Catch a Thief, now in a major remodel), JW Marriott Cannes, Chanel and Martinez. Studios use the facades of these elegant hotels to promote their tentpole films, usually ones that are coming up in the coming summer months. One of my personal favorites is the hotel that is catty-corner from the Palais, the Majestic. They are decked out this year, in what has to be one of the most impressive presentations I've ever seen, for Catching Fire
