From May 14 to 25, the Cannes Film Festival will punctuate the Riviera city and the entire country. To leave nothing to chance, festival-goers have prepared well.
The countdown begins. Since 7 p.m., Tuesday May 14, Cannes is, for 12 days, the center of the world. The bustling city is preparing to welcome some 200,000 visitors. On the Croisette, it’s time to say “motor”. Parisians traveled 900 km to reach the Côte d’Azur, their trunks full of suitcases and food. This is the third time they have rented the same tiny apartment for 1,500 euros per fortnight, the equivalent of a single night in a luxury hotel. “We are a 10-minute walk from the palace,” emphasizes the tenant. In their suitcases, several gala outfits to attend the famous climb of the steps.
While they were settling in, on the steps of the palace, the national police were taking their positions. In this dream factory, palaces occupy a special place. Sophie Bouche flowers an 80 m2 suite. To have sweet dreams in this five-star establishment, you have to pay between 1,800 and 14,000 euros per night. In the palace pastry shop, we remain zen despite the mounting stress. As for the kitchen, a bite made of strawberries, caviar and gold is being prepared. This little gem will adorn all the buffets during the festival.
