Festival du Film 2001: Why It Kept Getting Better | We arrive at the Red Carpet |
The Red Carpet
Finally! The girls and I made it to the festival! Our first stop was right outside the Main Event area: The Palais du Festivals. This is where the major film screenings take place. There are several restaurants right across from the theater so we took time to enjoy the moment while dining al fresco and stargazing.
The whole town of Cannes was in such "party mode" while we were there. It was like "Oscar Night" drunk on champagne! You can just feel the vibe as you stroll down the main boulevard. Dozens of multi-million dollar yachts line the harbor and the Paparazzi were always hanging close by. We were looking for "Nicole" sightings, but during our first night there, we didn't find any.
As the 3 of us sat, drank wine, and do what we do best (besides shop!).......people watch......we met several fine folks in the "industry." One friendly Aussie gave us a tip on the hottest party going on that night. He said it would be very difficult to get into, but told us, "just say you know 'Justin' and you're with "Slam Dunk." Ummmm.....okay? Shall we give it a try? Why not! |
| The Infamous Majestic Hotel in Cannes |
|  | Party Central: The Majestic Hotel Although we stayed in Nice during the whole time we were in Le Cote d'Azur.......Cannes was our nightly hangout.
Our original intention was to stay only 2 nights in this area.........It was the "After-Parties" at the famous (or is that INFAMOUS) Majestic Hotel along the main strip in Cannes that kept us there for 4 nights!
Here, the girls and I found ourselves attending the "after parties" and munching on smoked salmon and French wine......at 7am!!!!
Beautiful marble floors at this hotel.......... |

Model Boyz?!? How did I not stumble upon this one earlier... Anyway, you can't corrupt him yet can you? I mean he's only 7 months old! Provence trip is over, and the vino was divine. We've still got a few bottles, so hurry back! | Confucius Tue May 30, 2006 07:19 UTC
"Along Came Polly" has a hilarious scene involving a French scuba instructor and fins. I don't believe this film was at the Cannes Festival though. Brilliant shave ice idea for Paris! Add escargot fo' mo' local kine flava! Ono! Oh non? | La_Holandesa Tue Mar 7, 2006 09:21 UTC
