Cannes Walk of Fame

Cannes Walk of Fame is a collection of over 300 handprints set into concrete blocks along Boulevard de la Croisette in front of the Palais des Festivals. Each block also displays signatures and personal messages from the film artists who contributed to this expanding tribute.

This tribute emerged from the inspiration of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, beginning its collection during the Cannes Film Festival when international stars left their handprints. The project has grown steadily over the decades as more film personalities have added their marks to the boulevard.

The Boulevard de la Croisette is a place where film enthusiasts can discover the names of their favorite actors and directors who have visited Cannes. Walking along this stretch, visitors connect with the global cinema community and the artists who have shaped international filmmaking.

The attraction sits directly on the public boulevard and remains free to visit year-round without restrictions. Timing your visit during the Film Festival in May offers the chance to see new handprints being added while experiencing the festive energy of the event.

Many visitors overlook that the handprints come not only from established actors but also from emerging talents and behind-the-scenes professionals who shape cinema. Directors, producers, and other filmmakers have left their marks alongside the famous faces, reflecting a broader appreciation for the entire film community.
