My Unforgettable Press Trip with Nespresso to the Cannes Film Festival

Friday Morning: The Journey Begins

I was very excited but nervous when I boarded my early morning flight on Friday, en route to the glamorous Cannes Film Festival with Nespresso. Upon landing in Nice, a driver was waiting to bring me to the iconic Martinez Hotel. Little did I know, the journey from Nice to Cannes would be an adventure in itself—traffic was insane! The city was already buzzing with the arrival of A-list celebrities, adding to the anticipation and chaos.

Arrival at the Martinez Hotel

Finally, we arrived at the Martinez Hotel, and what a people! Around 50 photographers were stationed outside, eagerly awaiting the next star to grace the red carpet. The energy was electric, and I felt like a part of something truly special. I hurriedly changed and greeted my guests, ready to dive into the festival’s activities.

Lunch at La Plage Nespresso

Prepping for the Red Carpet

After lunch, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for the evening’s main event—the red carpet. In the comfort of my room, we had professional make-up and hair artists transform us for the night ahead. Once we were dressed to the nines, we toasted with some champagne, a perfect way to start the glamorous evening.

The Red Carpet Experience

Stepping out of the car and onto the red carpet was an experience like no other. The sheer volume of people, the chaos, and the flash of photographers’ cameras created a surreal atmosphere. It was thrilling to be part of such a prestigious event. We made our way inside to watch the film “Kinds of Kindness,” a unique and thought-provoking movie that lasted three hours.

The Afterparty at Nespresso La Plage

The night didn’t end with the film. We headed back to Nespresso La Plage for the afterparty, which turned out to be an absolute blast. We indulged in a variety of delicious coffee cocktails while the music kept everyone on their feet. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with laughter, conversation, and dancing—a perfect conclusion to an unforgettable day.

The Morning After: Wrapping Up an Incredible Trip

After a night filled with excitement, waking up the next morning was surprisingly refreshing. We had a good night’s sleep, which was much needed after the whirlwind of activities. The day began with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast spread was exquisite, offering a variety of delicious options to start the day right.

Morning at La Plage Nespresso

Post-breakfast, we headed back to La Plage Nespresso, where we spent the morning creating content and capturing the essence of our morning routine and breakfast moment. The serene setting by the sea provided a perfect backdrop for our shoots. The light, the ambiance, and the energy of the place all came together to make the content creation process enjoyable and seamless.

A Farewell Lunch

As our trip drew to a close, we gathered for one final meal—lunch at the pier. The view of the sparkling Mediterranean and the gentle sea breeze made for a delightful dining experience. The food was delicious, and it was a wonderful opportunity to relax, reflect, and enjoy each other’s company before we had to part ways.

Heading Home

With lunch concluded, it was time to head back to the hotel and prepare for our journey home. We packed our bags, shared our last goodbyes, and then it was off to the airport. The trip back to Nice was thankfully less chaotic than our arrival, allowing us to savor the final moments of our extraordinary Cannes adventure.

This press trip with Nespresso to the Cannes Film Festival has been an unforgettable experience, filled with glamour, creativity, and memorable moments. From the red carpet excitement to the serene mornings at La Plage, every moment was special. I’m grateful for this incredible opportunity and look forward to sharing more from this unforgettable journey soon. Until next time, Cannes!
