The Hôtel Majestic Barrière in Cannes is ready for Mockingjay! The front of the hotel is decked out with a beautiful Mockingjay statue similar to the set-up they had last year at the film festival. A Mockingjay poster was spotted hanging on the side of the hotel by FiftyShadesEN on twitter. They kindly shared photos of the poster which includes the text, "Le feu flambe d'autant plus vivement dans l'obscurité” that translates roughly to "Fire burns brighter in the darkness," the Mockingjay tagline that's been rumored for a few weeks.

Lionsgate also revealed to The Hollywood Reporter today that they have another huge Hunger Games party planned for the festival this year:

Days before leaving for Cannes, Lionsgate’s co-chairmen Patrick Wachsberger and Rob Friedman invited THR.com to Lionsgate’s Santa Monica headquarters to reveal their festival plans — including a glamorous Hunger Games party

For the second year in a row, you are planning to host a Hunger Games bash at Cannes. Why incur the big expense when Mockingjay: Part 1 isn’t actually playing at the festival?

Lionsgate’s Rob FRIEDMAN: The good news is, everyone is in Europe already. We’re a worldwide company, and it’s a big opportunity for our international distributors to actually hear what the worldwide plans are for the film, which opens in November. Cannes is the best publicity opportunity from an international penetration perspective.
