The Madams - Pip, Carly and Michelle 💖
Come and find us!
Cannes Essentials
Mode of transportation to Cannes: Flying in. Cannes travel has never been straight forward. Ask Carly about the time the entire area’s travel system went on full strike and I had my finest moment with an Uber chopper. God knows if we’ll get in or leave on time this year 🤞🤞🤞
How are you getting from the airport: Car service
Accommodation: Apartment, hotel, villa, other?: Always an apartment for the Madams- home away from home.
Cannes Bed Time: I had so many answers to this question: Sunrise , when your smile fades, about halfway through the gutter bar… maybe all three at once.
Cannes Wake Up Time: Thankfully later than at home with a gentle emergence back on the Croisette.
Top Spot for a Meeting: LBB Beach!!
Favourite Restaurant: We have a special place in our hearts for Le Pastis and one particular staff member there…
Favourite Watering Hole: Happy Hour at LBB Beach. Obvs.
Favourite Shopping destination: Rue d’Antibes for everything you could possibly need from head to toe and a whole that more that you don’t.
Best Guest List to be on: MassiveMusic, LBB Beach and I’m really interested in the Female Quotient
Tourist Site/Activity not to be missed: Once the work fun is done and you want to tag a little bit of time on for après-Cannes, I can personally recommend hiring a convertible sporty little number and head to St. Paul de Vence and the surrounding areas for a couple of days, or taking the coastal train from Nice to Monaco.
Top Cannes tip: Give as much out as you hope to receive. Don’t skimp on the water and sun cream. One year, Carly was our designated driver - she made a lot of new friends as the seats were filled leaving the villa parties, so hire an (electric) car!
Travel Essentials
‘From Home’ comfort item: Lounge pants fo-sho
First thing you do when you get to Cannes: Fill up the fridge with essentials - fruit, cheese, salad and rosé.
Cannes exercise of choice: One year I actually went running; do this before 9am, otherwise it’s too hot. But all the walking up and down the Croisette balances out my weekly quota.
Around Cannes
Top Cannes Celebrity Spot: Pass, I never see celebrities anywhere, ever.
Who would you like to meet: I love meeting anyone and everyone, Madam is a service production company based in the UK and the country partner for PSN, so any producers interested in the potential for shooting in the UK or a wider intro to PSN - I would love to say hello, welcome onto the beach or catch around town. Drop me a line pippa@madebymadam.com
Favourite Cannes tipple/soft drink?: I’ve been alcohol free for 2.5 years and this will be my first Cannes completely AF so let’s see….Is there an AF Provence Rosé yet? If not, a sparkling limon?
Best hangover cure: Berocca and extra time in bed
LBB & Friends Beach
Best time to be on the LBB & Friends Beach: Any time is a great time!
Best spot to get your lounger on the beach: Anywhere, you’ll be in great company!
