The Promenade de la Croisette (or Boulevard de la Croisette) (French: "Avenue of the little cross") is a prominent road in Cannes, France. It stretches along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea and is about 2 km long. The Croisette is known for the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, where the Cannes Film Festival is held. Many expensive shops, restaurants, and hotels (such as the Carlton, Majestic, Noga Hilton, Chanel and Martinez) line the road. It goes completely along the coastline of Cannes

The Croisette is listed in the Cultural heritage general inventory of France [1].
