| |  | | 04/29/12 Cannes Drive Your Definitive Cannes 2012 Preview Cannes. You’ve got your reasons for going: high art. Riviera weather. Shopping your script that will revive the career of Pauly Shore. And armed with a little knowledge, you won’t need so much as an invite—or a fake caterer’s uniform—to do great things here. Namely, these things: | | | |  | | | POWER COCKTAILING | | Rooftops. The Beach. Pop-Ups. Madness. | | | The sun is sinking over the French Riviera. Better find a rooftop scene. Or a beach scene. Or both. Like this pair of pop-up parties overtaking a couple hotels on the Mediterranean, and serving bottomless champagne all festival long. Yes, you should keep your sunglasses on.
Trending: #Sunglare, #Sushi, #FormalWindbreakers | | | | | | | | |  | | | SHH. FOOD. | | Secret Suppers from a Spago Vet | | | At some point, you’ll need to eat. Preferably in extreme secrecy at the villa of an ex-Spago chef (we won’t say names... or places). You’ll get a phone call guiding you to a clandestine dining fortress on the outskirts of town, where a band of strangers will be gathered around whole suckling pigs. A mask is not required.

The Hollywood Hills of the French Riviera. Also, where you’ll tie one on with Warren Beatty Jr. at the Fashion Week Mansion (formerly the Playboy Mansion Cannes) during a seven-day gauntlet of runway shows, supermodels in astronaut helmets and performances by the Scorpions. Who are still huge in France.

This pop-up version of the famous Paris nightclub (on the top floor of a velvety disco) is here to help. Note: from midnight to 2am, it’s accessible only to industry pros. But that’s okay, just say you’re with Cronenberg.

Setting: brunch at a new beachside eatery founded by the youngest pair of Michelin chefs alive. You’ll cut deals while drinking OJ and cracking blue lobster (a breed so elite, it only feeds on other lobster). Not unlike Hollywood agents.
