You haven't lived until you've sat at the pool on the water at the Hotel de Cap channeling Gerald and Sara Murphy while re-reading Tender is the Night.
Or perhaps you want to get more recent and pretend you're a Kennedy or a Dietrich. Or, go for inspiration even much much more recent - anyone at Cannes film festival that's anyone (cough Blake Lively, George Clooney), will be spotted here dinning for at least one afternoon. Bring your Euros along - lots of them.
