1. Linklaters cocktail party, The Carlton Hotel private beach, Cannes. Fine food, fine wine and an impressive guest list made this perennial Cannes favourite the perfect way to finish the week.

2. CMS Cameron McKenna James Bond theme party, Star of Kaitos, Cannes harbour. Blackjack table and ‘free’ gambling money, coupled with James Bond attired partners and straight martinis made for a decadent Cannes affair.
