Even More Sightseeing in Cannes

Cannes Film Murals

Cannes Fil Mural Sightseeing Canns

The movies, not surprisingly, are the theme of the 15 painted walls to be found throughout Cannes. Conceived in 2002 by the local council, the first four were inaugurated in 2004.

The one most people see is near the bus station (left) and depicts 100 years of cinema. Can you spot Mickey Mouse and R2-D2 or Batman and Superman? 


Charlie Chaplin is to be found at 10 Bd Vallombrosa; Marilyn Monroe at 16 Bd d'Alsace; Buster Keaton at 29 Bd Victor Tuby; Gerard Philipe, born in Cannes, 3 Bd Victor Tuby; Alain Delon in Plein Soleil at Av Francis Tonner; Harold Lloyd at 9 rue Louis Braille; and Jean Gabin at Place de la Gare (railway station).

Cannes' film-car museum mural at the Berthelot car park, in Republique, features Mad Max to Starsky and Hutch, Bonny and Clyde to Ghostbusters and many more.

Six sizzling screen kisses are emblazoned on a wall at bd de la Republique from Gone with the Wind to Titanic

Silence, Action! at 7 rue des Suisse celebrates the men and women behind the cameras.

STAR WALK 

Star Walk Sightseeing
It is during the Cannes film festival that Nadine Seul chases after the biggest star names in the world to ask them for their handprints - must make a change from autograph hunters. About 375 hand prints have been taken since 1983. 

The stars press one or both hands into a block of clay. This is sent to a potter in Vallauris who makes a plaster mould which, in turn, goes to a foundry in the Rhone.

The mould and the shiny new stainless steel handprint then return to Cannes: the mould to the bowels of the Palais des Festivals and the hand print to the Allee des Etoiles which snakes around the Palais.

In the Great Artists' Footsteps...

Great Artists Sightseeing Cannes

Painters have been attracted to the Riviera for many years.  As a celebration of this, photographs of their paintings have been installed in the places they were painted.
This Picasso is to be found on the Croisette near the Carlton Hotel, Cannes

Sightseeing by Toy Train

Sightseeing in Cannes on a Toy Train
A great way to see Cannes is by one of the two motorised toy trains.  They depart from the Palais des Festivals, beach side, between 9.30am and 11pm. One train takes you around Le Suquet (old Cannes) and the other shows you the Croisette and the rue d'Antibes.  Each ride lasts 35 minutes and there is a commentary in one of eight languages including English. The one hour Big Tour includes the History and Croisette tours. New this year are the Cinema tour and the Night tour to see the sites lit up.
