After reading this book you can look forward to:
- Simple way-finding. Knowing the best way to get to Cannes, how the city is laid out, important locations (for festival purposes), and how to get about town.
- Knowing where to stay. The best areas of the city to stay in, whether you should try to save money by staying outside of Cannes, and how to make sure you don't fall for an accommodation scam.
- Getting the best eats. Some great restaurant picks for all budgets, and delicious fastfood options that won't break the bank (and aren't McDonald's).
- Knowing Cannes like a native. Will your mobile device work in Cannes? What to wear at the festival, how to navigate French business hours and holidays, and where to grab some beach time away from the crowds.
- Knowing the ins and outs of the festival. How to submit your film, making sense of the various festival sections and sidebars, finding a screening venue, and getting tickets.
- Becoming a party and networking pro. How the party system works in Cannes, the best places to network and hang out (and those to avoid), and how to escape the maddening crowds.
