My very first trip to southern France was incredible. My friend’s manager invited me to join them on his yacht. At very first I wasn’t sure about going considering that I didn’t have a film at the celebration as well as I had nothing to wear.
I like to have a plan. What precisely would I perform in Cannes? My good friend told me to get a grip as the trip was totally paid for. She had a point.
I’m extremely thankful I stated yes. Our hold was lovely. Being a great hold (and a great guest) is not something everybody understands exactly how to do. I’m not sure why this is as there are a billion magazine articles as well as books on etiquette.
The interest to detail was impressive. The team went above as well as beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The chef was OUTSTANDING. I ate well as well as drank some excellent wines.
On the very first day, the water was very choppy. It calmed down by the evening as well as I had no issues sleeping. it was so peaceful (unlike my darn neighborhood). The décor of my en suite cabin (and the yacht in general) was fantastic, extremely traditional as well as understated. It felt like a home.
Breakfast. like the presentation.
St. Tropez
The odor of bread during my morning jogs was amazing.

It was nice, as well as surreal, to catch up with some Hollywood friends. There were several star sightings. I did slip into a bit funk after one exec stated something bitchy to me. My good friend as well as her other half applauded me up as well as reminded me why I left L.A. in the very first place. Also, a great good friend back in Rome told me to keep in mind where I was staying as well as to fail to remember about that miserable snobby person. Which is what I did as I drank some rosé.
On Friday we drove to St. Tropez. The web traffic was bananas however it was worth it. We had a tasty lunch at Le Club 55. It was excellent people watching. Later, I checked out that during July as well as August the whole beach becomes rather the scene. When we were there the restaurant was packed with regional households appearing like the affluent French version of J. Crew.
The sun came out during lunch as well as we drove back with the top down. It wasn’t a poor method to spend a Friday afternoon.
The village of St. Tropez is charming. I would like to go back as well as spend a lot more time there.
There were lots of highlights during my short trip (French bread, exceptional bath products, jogging with Cannes early in the morning) however the very best thing about it was costs time with my friends.
