About this audio guide
This guide to Plage Macé in Cannes, now renamed Plage Brigitte Bardot, begins on a May evening in twenty twenty-six, when the town gathered on the sand to give the beach a new name. It follows the actress who spent decades campaigning for animals, and the words spoken for her by her widower and the mayor. Best heard at the water's edge on the western Croisette.
