The large boulevard that runs alongside Cannes harbour became National Heritage in 2001; la Croisette is the old coastal road which used to be called le chemin de la petite croix (little cross lane).
Nowadays it is full of luxury hotels, like the Majestic Barrière as well as designer boutiques such as Chanel and Dior...
And just as a legend should, the Croisette will delight you day and night.
