There’s nowhere like Cannes—a place where shopkeepers wear head-to-toe designer, ghosts haunt the Carlton, and passersby dish out film tips with the flair of seasoned critics. During the film festival, this sun-soaked city becomes its own kind of cinema: streets turn into runways, everyday people into characters, and everyone has a tip on where to eat, dance, or spot the next Grace Kelly.
