Kylie was invited to speak at the Cannes Film Festival and wants somewhere to stay that’s not just your average apartment or hotel. She finds this stunning, classic yacht that is based right in the centre of Cannes. Captained by the wonderful Inigo, a New Zealand native who has fallen in love with the charm of the French Riviera, the yacht provides the perfect haven away from the hustle and bustle of Cannes. Kylie has a whirlwind adventure from relaxing on the deck in the sunshine, sailing the seas with Inigo, partying in a mansion and dancing all night with new friends she met at the festival. With places like Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo, Antibes and Saint-Tropez, the Cote D’Azur is widely know as James Bond’s playground, with rich and famous party goers, luxury hotels and glamorous restaurants that rival Paris. Hollywood has long adored the extravagance of the French Riviera with classics such as Le Grand Blue, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Goldeneye, Diamonds Are Forever, French Kiss, Ronin, The Last Time I Saw Paris and To Catch A Thief. Kylie gets a true taste of this dazzling lifestyle, dipping her toes into the fabulous parties, watching the Formula 1 and being transported in luxury sports cars and helicopters. What a lucky lady? With huge events like the Cannes Film Festival, Midem and the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, there’s no wonder tourists flock for an extravagant experience. However, beyond this glitzy exterior, Kylie explores the true personality of the French coast, proving that every town in the world has a soul if you know where to look. She finds local, family-run restaurants on the beach that serve the freshest seafood, off-the-beaten-track food markets, and monasteries where the nuns are dedicated to charity. If you really want to see the real side of France, eat authentic French food and drink stunning wine from local vineyards, booking somewhere to stay on Airbnb means you can really get a taste of what it’s like to feel alive and inspired the true French way. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway, a gap year, a backpacking holiday, a road trip, a sabbatical, a summer vacation or just the adventure of a lifetime the best way to experience a foreign country is to push your comfort zone and live like a local, breathing in the sights, smells, tastes and sounds of a country that lie buried beneath the surface.
