Cannes 2025: The Quiet Side of the Riviera

Cannes 2025: A Peaceful Contrast Amidst the Glamour Ten kilometers from the glitz and glamour of the Cannes Film Festival lies Les Mimosas campsite in Pégomas, France. Here, amidst the tranquil olive groves, a different kind of story unfolds. The video captures the daily lives of campers, many of whom are long-term residents, providing a unique contrast to the festival's high-profile events. "It's amazing to think we're only 10 kilometers from the festival," says Vincent Louandre, the campsite manager, "and yet, it feels like we're in the middle of the countryside." The video shows scenes of everyday life: a friendly boules tournament, campers chatting, and the quiet charm of the campsite's bungalows. Raymonde, a long-term resident and mobile home owner, adds, "My husband participates in the boules games; he organizes them, he loves it." Her words highlight the sense of community and relaxed atmosphere at Les Mimosas. The video's contrast between the calmness of the campsite and the excitement of the nearby festival offers a unique and heartwarming perspective on the Cannes experience. It's a reminder that even amidst the global spotlight, moments of peace and simple pleasures still exist.
