Introduction to the Avenue des Petits Croisette: This most luxurious avenue on the south coast of Cannes, formerly known as Avenue La Croisette, starts from the Palais des Festivals in Cannes in the west and extends eastward along the Bay of Cannes to Point La Croisette. Even when it's not during the Cannes Film Festival, its picturesque coastline, walking trails, and luxurious restaurants and hotels make it the most lively area in Cannes. The most famous thing here is the exotic palm trees that line the roads.
