The ascent of the steps
But let’s face it, as we approach the Palais, what we want to see most of all are the famous steps. These famous 24 steps dressed in red carpet every year in May during the Cannes Film Festival.
If the stars hog them for a few days a year, the rest of the year they take a break for you.
So get your selfies!
And to complete the experience:
The Chemin des étoiles, a real “Walk of Fame” version of Cannes, exhibits 150 stars’ footprints all around the Palais.
What if you made your own footprint too?
