It has a jealously guarded secret. How does the Cannes Film Festival manage to concentrate so many stars, glamour and admiring eyes from all over the world, in just ten days? Beyond the magic that has worked uninterruptedly for decades, one thing is certain: its history and philosophy are totally at one with le Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. We take you behind the scenes.
They are the standard that symbolizes le Palais des Festivals et des Congrès around the world, and, through them, the whole of Cannes. Pampered, cajoled, scrutinized, adored, the 24 steps, covered in red carpet, become, every spring, the center of the cinematic world for a unique moment of art and stars.
Surmounted by the official poster (and its 145 kilos) on le Palais cap, the famous staircase alone embodies the epic of a seventh art of the highest quality, with a selection of films made by directors from all over the planet. The weight of talent, the clash of cultures!
