CANNES, June 1 — The five-star palace hotels are in full swing, the sound of music drifts across the beach and after a ‘horrible’ year blighted by the coronavirus crisis, the French resort of Cannes is finally buzzing again as it gears up for its film festival.
It is, however, still unclear how many stars will actually make the journey to Cannes, as France still requires non-EU arrivals to quarantine and there is no sign so far that the government will waive that requirement for the prestigious event. After staff were left “heartbroken” by last year’s cancellation, the landmark Martinez hotel now is recruiting 250 staff for the season, its director Yann Gillet said.
“It’s an unexpected opportunity for people to come to the festival because in normal times it would be complicated,” Welter said, as room prices usually get big mark-ups during the festival.In the expensive shop windows along the seafront Croisette, handbags, dresses and shoes await visitors with money to spend.
