Cannes Do
Tips for enjoying yourself
at the Cannes Film Festival Star-Studded,
Glamorous, Yacht crammed, and Sexy is what
Cannes in the South of France offers, packing in celebrities and
flaunting some of the most exclusive beaches parties along the French
Riviera. It’s not just for the jet set and other travelers who like
their $100 night cap with a side of caviar, you too can enjoy one of the
most expensive places in the French Riviera, with a few of the tips
below. A trip to Cannes during the Festival is a whirlwind of premieres, and late night partying all on the famed La Croisette. People watching is a must as anywhere you look, flash bulbs pop, trying to capture scantily clad starlets, famed filmmakers and of the moment socialites. You will be photographed so dress accordingly. Each year, an endlessy growing group of people head to the South of France, to gather and meet, dine and wine, party and have fun. To host the more than 10,000 badged film industry people, the city of Cannes is transformed. They literally push the walls backwards towards the sea building tented restaurants and night clubs on to the beach to host everyone. Even snow was added this year to promote the Christmas Carol film which is interesting when it’s 85 degrees and full of palm trees. Cannes is not always that way. Once the festival is over the crowded la Croisette becomes an empty boulevard as do the hotels and the tents on the beaches are dismantled and put away until next year. WHO
were you hoping to meet in Cannes this year? WHAT
did you shop for? I did lots of window shopping…
Channel, Dior, LV, and many other expensive designer stores line the
Croisette. It’s fabulous to see the upcoming styles. I did see a
stylish cream colored python leather jacket, but the 4950 Euro price tag
($7300.00 USD) kept me away. Tel 04 93 39 38 92 06 09 52 22 00 Show room home (men), 1 etage, 37 rue de antibes
WHEN
do you usually go to bed
on a typical night during
the festival? WHERE
are your favorite spots in Cannes to dine? Party? Accommodations: Reserve an apartment with kitchenette on la Croisette overlooking the Med. The small markets are filled with fabulous foods to enjoy at a third of the price of dining out. Making Calls: Cell Phone rates are outrageous! My discount plan was $1.15 per minute, however I found a way to make international calls for .10 cents a minute. Purchase a phone at Wal-Mart for $39.99 and 1000 minutes costs $100.00, that’s right! .10 cents USD a minute for international calls! Calling from your computer on SKYPE is free, but there are times when you are out and about and want to use your cell phone and at .10 cents a minute you won’t hesitate. Pack: Get red carpet ready with a tired cocktail dress, or flowing silk gown, bow booties and a spritz of French perfume. Day: Colorful long flowing cotton dresses graced the Croisette, designer sun glasses, or hat to avoid the scorching sun. Simple sandals take you from day to night in this anything goes town.
