As we make our way around Cannes this week, we’ve noticed a few things we thought we’d share.

  • Everyone smokes. A lot. Constantly.
  • Everyone leaves the ringer on their phone on. Totally annoying!
  • The cacophony of multiple languages is more pleasing than expected.
  • For some reason, a lady hands you a small piece of toilet paper when you enter a port-a-potty…which already has toilet paper in it.
  • Everyone in France, and most other countries, dresses way nicer than most Americans.
  • Almost every car is a Mercedes of a Peugeot.
  • Pellegrino and Evian are the norm for bottled water.
  • Bartenders don’t use much ice when making drinks.
  • People dance alone.
  • Everyone is more beautiful than in “regular” life.
  • Men’s and women’s rooms have the same entrance.
  • Female cleaning staff have no problem walking into a men’s room when it’s occupied.
