Meeting, Greeting and Eating in Cannes

April 8, 2008 10:51 AM

My favorite spot for the breakfast is Belliard, a lovely patisserie on the Rue Chabaud. They have the best croissant and coffee in Cannes, and it’s a great way to start off the morning before a long day of meetings.

Rain is threatening, but that’s not all bad, as the buyers won’t be on the beach but in the Palais.

HD Production is growing stronger by the day. Our HD “Airshow Extreme” definitely seems to be a hot property in my meetings, which is fantastic, since we are planning to expand it soon to 13 half-hour programs. I just landed a deal earlier today for 13 hours of mobile and Web site exotic-destination programming!

After a long day of meetings yesterday, I attended George Le Clere’s Cousteau reception and saw Michael Garin, CEO of Central European Media Enterprises, and the ever-lovely Laurence Kaufmann, of Media I.D.M. France.

For a charming dinner and lovely ambiance that won’t break the bank, I suggest trying Bistrot Margaux. Jessica is a fabulous waitress! And don’t forget, for the best pizza in Cannes, it’s always L’Avion—very close to the Palais with the antique airplane hanging from the ceiling. After this, I probably won’t be able to get a table!

Enjoy Cannes—check back tomorrow for more tips!
