6. Outside the Palais

The pavement surrounding the “Palais” will be hotter than ever this year! Grab a jacket, a nice pair of shades and head for a stroll around the Palais to discover all the entertainment. A huge tweetwall by ADiTV will be diffusing your best tweets and photos, Qubicaamf will have a bowling lane, Uplace and Husson will have surprise animations, Blinerie will provide a delicious food truck and Benneton will install beautiful pop-up cubes! The biggest thrill however, is apparently to come from Kiabi – who will be occupying the space by the harbor with a concept store and various animations. Be sure to make your way around!
