So everyone knows what is inside the Palais des Festivals: the premieres, the stars, the markets, the press. But what about whats outside? The red carpet to be sure, but also you will find the parking for all of the cars used to drive the stars to the red carpet, all black ones ranging from the sponsor, Renault, to Mercedes and Escalades. The port is outside where you can find all of the big yachts docking here. The International Village that is home to all of the "home away from home"'s for the non-French citizens is also here as well as the general hustle and bustle that always surrounds

Films are not the only things to see and watch during the festival. Street performers swarm to show off their talents outside the Palais des Festivals as well as all along the beaches on the Croisette. Big bands, interpretive dancers, and native performers can be found, all you have to do is listen for the music and follow the crowd.
