THE JOURNAL
Cannes Film Festival: the Croisette, the red carpet… and the one luxury missing.
The palace hotels of the Croisette, private dinners on the yachts in the bay, parties at Cap d’Antibes and in Mougins. For two weeks everything is a show—and everyone watches it through a screen.
Being seen, or being there?
In Cannes, the temptation never stops: shoot, post, reply. The most elegant regulars do the opposite: for one dinner, one evening on deck, the phone stays off. It has become the true mark of an insider.
The after-screening dinner
After the red carpet, dinner with producers, partners and friends is where everything really happens. Create an egOxa room for the table: conversation takes over, and introductions become relationships.
For two, away from the noise
An evening on the terrace of a villa above Cannes, a late dinner at Cap d’Antibes: in the most photographed fortnight in the world, the greatest luxury is a private moment with no audience.
