    The Beachside promenade called the Croisette is located in Cannes – It”s called the Croisette because a cross stood on the shore by the harbor.Its a wonderful place to walk .You have the beach on one side of you and the big hotels boutiques and restaurants on the other. Its a great place to people watch
