Cannes Mayor Hosts Annual Lunch at Castello de la Castre for Festival Attendees
The Mayor of Cannes hosts an annual lunch at the Castello de la Castre for all accredited festival attendees. The event features a picturesque setting with a fairy-tale courtyard, elderly women in period costumes, and floral arches. Guests receive welcome gifts such as a specially packaged bottle of oil. Seating is arranged at long tables with Provencal tableware, and VIP guests have access to a terrace overlooking the Old Port and the Côte d'Azur. The menu includes seafood, Provencal vegetables, aioli sauce, baguettes, spiced focaccia, wines, and premium waters. This year's dessert featured shortcrust pastry with almonds, chard, and caramelized pine nuts, alongside classic berry cheesecake and apricot tarts. Attendees network and exchange business cards.
