Les Murs Peints - L'envers du décor

The side of this building displays a massive painted mural showing a classic movie set scene. While the street below remains quiet, the facade features a director calling action and a crew scurrying around cameras and lighting gear. Cannes city officials commissioned these murals during the nineteen nineties to celebrate the town's deep connection to cinema. Local residents often point out that the painted figures include subtle caricatures of city workers and town figures who were active when the artist finished the work.
