Located in the southeastern edge of France, alongside the French Riviera, is the glorious and gorgeous city of Cannes. This is an upscale burg comprised mainly of expensive, gated communities, making it the perfect destination

for somebody looking to bathe in the lap of luxury. With a population of less than eighty thousand people, it’s clear that Cannes is the kind of place you visit and the kind of paradise most of us can only dream of calling home.Anybody lucky enough to take a trip to Cannes will realize right away why the city is so desirable. Thanks to its placement near the Mediterranean, the sun shines on Cannes for twelve hours a day during the warm months and the cool months are mild at worst. While it certainly gets hot in Cannes, the evenings are nearly always cool and breezy, making it one of the few places in the world with pitch-perfect weather nearly every day of the year. There is also a low incidence of rainfall, seemingly just enough to keep the flora alive but not enough to damper anybody’s plans of boating or lounging on the beach.Perhaps the most popular spot in Cannes is the famed La Croisette Avenue. This waterfront area is lined with gorgeous palms and overlooks a remarkably beautiful coastline. Some of the most decadent luxury hotels in the world call Cannes home, including the Mirimar and the Martinez. But it isn’t just sun worshipers who flock to Cannes each year; Cannes is also the site of the revolutionary and immensely popular Cannes Film Festival. Since 1939, auteurs and moviemakers alike have entered their films in the festival with the hope of netting the prestigious “Palme d’Or” or at the very least becoming an official selection. This festival has recently lost some of its luster since competing festivals like the Sundance Film Festival have stolen some of its thunder, but this isn’t seen as a major loss to the citizens of Cannes, who have a longstanding hatred of the crowds that the festival draws and the disrespect of their pristine town by the international community. Either way, the festival does bring in a lot of money to the town so it certainly shouldn’t be canceled by any means, even if its importance has waned in recent years.

When you want a bit of fun for yourself and your friends before you head on that daunting journey of marriage with the man of your dreams why not make a gorgeous bachelorette party and let go of the monotony of your everyday routine. There are many scenarios, venues and styles you can choose from for your party, from sassy male strip-tease to environmentally conscious green parties with fair trade rings shows and charity raising events.

Everything depends on your outlook and your attitude and of course the budget you can work with. Also, parties can be organized by yourself or your friends, as well as they can be highly elaborate professional events as beautiful and detailed as the impending wedding itself. Some people like surprises and others are put off by them and want to know exactly what is going to happen and what the dress-code and contest will be. Make sure your organizers are fully aware of your preferences and will take them into consideration to avoid problems. Also if the party is not going to be a surprise one, discuss its details with your friends and make sure everyone will be comfortable with the way it will run. Have fun.

My most spectacular Frustation  was when I was handling a film called ‘Escape from El Diablo’. It’s a few years ago now, but it starred John Wayne’s youngest son Ethan, and Timothy Van Patten. It told the story of a young man’s attempt to escape from a Mexican Jail. We knew that Ethan Wayne and Tim VP were coming to Cannes, and happily these were the days before personal publicists vetoed everything! I decided that it would be spectacular if we could have the two boys fly over the Med in a helicopter, and then lower themselves down a dangling rope into a speedboat which would bring them to a drinks reception on the beach in front of the Carlton. There would be hundreds of photographers of course, and it would be front page news.

The boys were up for it, the distributors agreed to pay for the chopper, and we hired a boat and a driver. We set up the bar, loaded with Margaritas of course, and posted huge alerts in the press room. We were all set. The day finally arrived; the buddies were met at the local airport and taken on board the chopper with my enthusiastic assistant. I was really excited, and raced down the Croisette to the waiting horde of photographers to find - no one! Not one damn photographer other than my own ‘house’ photographer who we had paid to be there!panic. I was getting messages saying the chopper was ready to fly, but I had to stall them. What on earth could have happened? It turned out that a press conference for David Bowie had overrun and all the press and photographers were locked in to the Palais (the Cannes conference centre). In the end, we could hold the helicopter no more, and I had about 5 minutes to find as many photographers as I could. Please remember dear reader, there were NO mobile phones at this stage of the game, so I had to literally run up to everyone who had a camera, and yes, most of them were tourists, and drag them to my temporary Mexican bar! Nightmare. Suddenly, a colleague from the office came dashing down to me saying the driver of the boat refused to go out to pick them up since the weather had changed and the sea was too choppy . I just wanted to drink the bar dry and run away.I had no press, no photographers, and now it was looking like no stunt. I still go cold when I think of this moment, and its more than 20 years ago, my two adventurous actors came down the rope as close to the Carlton as they could, and actually jumped in to the water, and swam in! Bless them, did make the papers the next day but literally by the skin of our teeth. I never, ever used a helicopter again. The whole drama was made worse when someone nicked my idea and pulled off the perfect helicopter . Find some of the photographers before hand and issue flyers etc so that they know its happening - you’ll see them at any of the main events happening so go round and hand them out afterwards - otherwise engage a PR specialist who knows everyone - see tips below!
