When the sun goes down, the Croisette unveils its festive side and hosts the most prominent parties of the Cannes Film Festival. Here's a quick guide to the Croisette's must-see places to experience the excitement of the festival.

The coolest: Nomade

Situated on the roof of the Five Seas Hotel, Nomade is a buzzing place, which is a little apart from the Festival, offering unforgettable experiences and parties every night. Designed by the agency Cartel and Le Perchoir, Nomade welcomes press junkets, exchanges, and professionals by day in an exotic setting that evokes the warm atmosphere of an oasis. In the evening, the temperature goes up a notch with live performances by cutting-edge artists, which end at dawn, around the piano bar. The bonus? This year, the Roof restaurant is led by chef Lori Moreau, assisted this year by the darling of Top Chef, the talented Adrien Cachot. Dishes served with a glass of Fefe, a new 100% French hard seltzer with tangy notes carefully concocted by Le Syndicat.

The chicest: Oh la la Martinez

The Martinez has been a favorite haunt of a VIP  crowd ever since the golden age of the Riviera. The hotel dresses its beach with bohemian chic inspirations, a promise of escape in the heart of the Festival's effervescence. In addition to DJ sets, this year Oh la la has a Livestream bar to meet the needs of the media. And as a bonus, an incredible view of the bay when the sun goes down. In short, a Croisette version of an idea of the beach way of life.

The most full-bodied: The Nespresso beach

As a loyal partner of the Cannes Film Festival and the Critics' Week, the Nespresso Beach ihas this year been dressed up the Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni, who has designed a joyful and inspired collaboration with the coffee brand. The pretty Italian, followed by millions of followers around the world, has designed a new collection of machines and accessories, inspired by her pop and colorful world, which she presented on the Croisette on July 8. The rest of the week, interviews follow one another over a good espresso, in an intimate setting facing the sea. At night, festival-goers gather for evenings dedicated to the cinema, including the famous closing night of Critics' Week, or dinners led by renowned chefs, from Jérôme Banctel to Simone Tondo and Giovanni Passerini, not to mention Jean Imbert and Pascal Barbot.

The most committed: The AmfAR gala

On July 16, the unmissable amfAR gala will be held at the Villa Eilenroc in Antibes. This event is held in parallel with the Cannes Film Festival and benefits the fight against AIDS. This year's headliner is Alicia Keys, accompanied by a host of VIPs who are sensitive to the cause, such as Spike Lee, the President of the Jury, Nicole Kidman, Milla Jovovich, Regina King, Zoe Saldana, Heidi Klum and Michelle Yeoh.
