Monopoly Cannes: buy you a piece of La Croisette on a roll of the dice
A city famous throughout the world, Cannes has launched its version of the Monopoly board game that sold over 165 million copies. Edited by Winning Moves France, to whom the historical publisher Hasbro has given the development of the cities Monopoly and in collaboration with the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès of Cannes, the Monopoly Cannes announces its arrival on the Croisette. Immortalized by famous artists and all the stars of the world cinema and recently invested by major heads of state, Cannes is world famous and its aura and its place as the European capital of games with his International Games Festival, required to make a Monopoly in the colors of Cannes.
David Lisnard, Chairman of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, first deputy to the mayor in charge of Tourism said: "The operation makes all the more sense that we welcome the greatest European Festival of Games and that it makes the game entering the family. This game of the oldest and most legendary, has become a shared element of popular culture."
Through its Monopoly, Cannes thus highlights the diversity of its neighborhoods and its famous sites. Instead of the four stations of the traditional Monopoly, come four access roads to Cannes: the Maritime Station, the Bus Station, the Cannes-Mandelieu Airport and the Railway station. The prestigious Rue de la Paix naturally gives way to the Croisette and the Champs Elysées is supplanted by the equally prestigious California. It will be hardly cheaper to settle on the Croix des Gardes, the rue d'Antibes or the Avenue Isola Bella, renamed for the occasion to honor a great lady of the city, Avenue Isola Bella-Rosella Hightower. All areas of Cannes are also mentioned, without exception; the Monopoly opens the privilege of building on the Esplanade Georges Pompidou at the foot of prestigious Palais des Festivals! The public will have the privilege of discovering the Monopoly Cannes from mid-November in specialized shops of Cannes, La Grande Récré and Joué Club. In addition to its marketing in France, the Cannes Monopoly will be one of the stars for the 150,000 visitors expected at the International Games Festival to be held from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 February, 2012 at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.

Women Injuries
An exhibition by Catherine Cabrol to support the fight against violence made to women. In 2009, the fight against violence made to women had been Campaign of General Interest. In 2010, it was a National Priority. In 2011, the fight against violence made to women is always a "struggle of society", a "universal struggle". The exhibition Women Injuries is the ideal opportunity to highlight the initiatives and measures for effective action against this scourge that kills a woman in France every 2.3 days. These images need to be seen, these texts need to be read to help all suffering women and allow those who dared to testify to be heard.
Catherine Cabrol, photographer and filmmaker, has been developing personal projects for over twenty years. She aims to explore the human soul with sincerity and fairness. Catherine likes to take time to share with the people she photographs, to "stage" them to reveal their beauty. It was this need to share with them and with the public, that which touches her, that which revolts her, that in which she strongly believes. About mild or more serious subjects, his work is involved.

"Mues" by n + n Corsino
The exhibition is a choreography installation playing on TV screen and iPads. A choreography of naked bodies expresses itself up to the point of movement exhaustion. Everything moves at a barely perceptible speed, on the border of photography and painting and shows a slow transformation of the body-landscape. Vision, movement and speed reveal the modesty of the nude in extreme slow body motion as action of idleness. The exhibition lasts the time of the Dance Festival at Espace Miramar on the Croisette.
