Christmas scene at Village de Noêl

The Village De Noël In Cannes is a winter wonderland the mayor of Cannes David Lisnard offered the Cannois and tourists for the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

The Royal Gift, a luminous 5-meter high and 7-meter wide arch, at the entrance of the Village de Noël on the Allées de la Liberté, symbolizes the desire of Mayor of Cannes David Lisnard to offer residents and tourists a joyful Christmas celebration.
From November 28, 2014 to January 4, 2015, children and adults can marvel at the village flowing with light, packed with original gift ideas and mouth-watering products.

Santa’s Bride musical

The Christmas Village on the Allées de la Liberté was inaugurated on December 5, 2014 by Gilles Cima, Deputy to festivals and musical events, and members of the City Council. At the same time, an ice rink was inaugurated by another “royal gift”: the “Santa’s Bride” musical by the Holiday on Ice skaters. The tale on ice tells – for the delight of young and old children – how Rupert Christmas, Santa’s son, replaces his father “au patin levé” with the help of his fiancée Mary Christmas for the gifts distribution. Many comic characters appear to try helping or create a joyful acrobatic jumble.
