"Cannes film festival president Iris Knobloch and town mayor David Lisnard led a ceremony on the beach in the shadow of the Majestic hotel where Bardot regularly stayed when she was still making movies."
"Cannes renamed its Mace beach after the film star. The town hall said that dogs will be allowed on the beach, which is close to the Palais des Festivals where the film extravanza is held, at set times each day."
"Nice, along the coast, has also named a beach after Bardot and opened it up to dogs in a gesture to the late star who took up animal causes, and started speaking up for France's far right, when she turned her back on the cinema in the 1970s."
"Bardot died at her St Tropez home in December aged 91 and French Riviera resorts have since paid a number of tributes."
A ceremony on a Cannes beach took place near the Majestic hotel, where Brigitte Bardot regularly stayed while making films. Bardot died in December at her St Tropez home at age 91, and Riviera resorts issued tributes afterward. Cannes renamed Mace beach in her honor. The town hall said dogs would be permitted on the beach near the Palais des Festivals at set times each day. Nice also named a beach after Bardot and opened it to dogs as a gesture tied to her animal advocacy. The tributes also reference her later public support for France’s far right after she left the cinema in the 1970s.
