Cannes, 24 hours

Remember this fantastic journey, last year? Discovering the vineyards in Cognac was the first step.
Last week, like Jack Bauer on a mission I spend 24 hours at Cannes International Film Festival with House Rémy Martin, discovering new cocktails, walking the red carpet and enjoying some of the hippest parties.
