MAY CALENDAR

The festival is predominantly re-served for film industry professionals and press, so unless you are lucky to be given a ticket, you will have to be content with star gazing and enjoying what Cannes has to offer. So here are some hints to help you have the

best festival experience:

° The 1st weekend (Fri-Sun) is the busiest with the biggest crowds and

the most stars.

° For the best celebrity spotting, check out cafes and restaurants around the town centre, the lobbies of large ho-tels, or perch yourself somewhere on

The Croisette and wait!

° The red carpet entrance to evening Competition screenings at the Palais is a guaranteed way of seeing celebs, but you must get there early to re-serve your place. Best viewing posi-tion is on the road looking straight toward the Palais steps. The sides will look good to begin with, but will eventually be overrun with photogra-

phers and cameramen.

° Check out the official website for film screening dates and times.

° Disney Pixar Studio’s new annima-tion “Up” in 3-D will be opening the

ceremony.

67th Grand Prix of Monaco

This is considered the most difficult and spectacular of all F1 races. With 77 laps around the narrow, winding streets of Monte Carlo, the grand prix is considered the most exciting in the world, with little room for driver er-ror. Interestingly enough, only 2 driv-ers have crashed and ended up in the harbour! If you are not lucky enough to have an invite to a terrace for the Grand Prix, then here’s some info to help you make it to the grand spec-

tacle:

° There are over 3,000 seats available for sale. Tickets can be purchased from the Automobile Club of Monaco and from ticket booths during the

race. Prices range from 90€-500€.

° Before you purchase your ticket, make sure to consult a map of the cir-cuit to see where the seat is located. The best seats are A1, A4, V, Z1, Z2

and O.

° Restaurants and hotels along the course offer special lunch menu’s that include watching the race from their terraces. Prices range from 90€-

500€.

° Don’t bother driving to Monaco, parking is virtually non-existant.

A day in NICE

Long before Nice became a playground for the rich and famous, it was a city of immense politi-cal and military significance. Long before that, Nice was one of the world’s first pre-historic set-tlements. Indeed, the history of Nice is arguably the one thing that can be held above its beauty. Now, you can pair the two together for an excep-tional day out!

A cycling tour is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture of Nice while discovering a history, which you cannot find in any travel book. The cy-cling tour will take you to the city’s most famous (and lesser known) landmarks, with full commen-tary on how, why and when. A 10-kilometre tour takes a minimum of three hours, and is open to people with even a basic level of fitness. To begin, your guides will take you to the modern section of Nice with architecture typical of the “Belly-pot” era. Then, cycle through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town and learn of the initial settlements and why certain churches hold great significance. Taking in the spectacular view from the famous château is always a favourite for tourists and resi-dents alike. But on the tour, your guide can point out the castle’s original features and explain why this fortress was so important in European trading and conflict.

Moving along the coast, and you can marvel at the world’s most expensive property, purchased for a measly 500,000 million euros by a Russian busi-ness man, who paid far more than he had to sim-ply because he could! Admire the birthplace of the Rolling Stone’s “Exile on Main Street” album, and the former home of Charlie Chaplin.

Discover Nice ... on two wheels!

Free art ... well almostAt first glance rue Droite looks like any other old town street. But behind the façade is an art lover’s haven. In fact, even those who don’t consider themselves a fan of the arts will be amazed at the variety and standard of photography, paintings and sculptures on display. An afternoon can easily be lost wandering in and out of the charismatic buildings, as you work your way from one end of the street to the other. And don’t be afraid to talk to the hosts about the artwork on display … the majority speak English and you don’t have to be in the market for a 10,000€ piece of art to get attention.

This is an inexpensive and fun way to explore the fantastic array of art available in Nice. If you’re lucky you may even catch them at work!

Even if you have lived in Nice for a considerable time, this tour will surely introduce you to places previously unknown. Like the site where Europe’s earliest settlers called home 400,000 years ago. It’s a fantastic little cave, which is now an archaeologi-cal digging site, and is only open to the public twice a year. Everything found at the site is displayed at the Terra-Armata museum on rue Cassini.

For 30€ per person, you get bike hire, helmet, se-curity gear, water bottle, free coffee or drink at the half way point, and a truly memorable experience. There’s also a full-day tour for the more energetic, and covers the areas of Mont Boron, Villefranche and the fantastic open-air cinema set in a castle courtyard!

There are numerous ways to explore Nice, but this is surely one of the most fun and interesting.

Travel Hotspots

MouginsDiscover for yourself why the likes of Picasso, Winston Churchill, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent were se-duced by this gorgeous medieval village. Situated just 15 minutes from Cannes, Mougins is a food and art lovers para-dise, offering superbly preserved 12th century architecture and an amazing panoramic view of the baie de Cannes, the Lérins Islands, Grasse and the Pré-alpes.

The village of Mougins is set 260 metres above the Valmasque forest. It’s harmony of colours, superb ancient houses and charming narrow roads make it one of the most wonderful places to visit on the Cote d’Azur.

There are 18 art studios, galleries and ex-hibitions including the photography muse-um (Musée de la Photographique) just in-side the Medieval Porte Sarrazine. It holds ancient cameras and fantastic photographs of Picasso by some very famous photogra-phers. Pablo Picasso is a favourite ‘son’ of Mougins, having lived the last 15 years of his life at the nearby Notre-Dame-de-Vie, adjacent to a 12th century chapel of the same name. The house is now privately owned and not open to the public, how-ever the chapel is well preserved and the area once again offers amazing views.

Around 50 restaurants are dotted throughout the small village; the most famous can be found a few kilometres southeast. The Moulin de Mougins rests in a refurbished 16th century mill and is considered one of the top restaurants in France. It is owned by Roger Verge, a chef and writer, who has made the cui-sine of this area famous around the world. Not surprisingly, Moulin de Mougins is very expensive and it is essential to book well in advance. Luckily, there are plenty of non bud-get-breaking restaurants, including Mr Verge’s L’Amandier, and other terrace restaurants with excellent menus at moderate prices, particu-larly for mid-day dining.

It is worth taking a free map from the tourism office to get a birds-eye view of the village. However, you are unlikely to actually use the map for navigational purposes, as its cir-cular shape will inevitably bring you back to your starting point.

A visit to Mougins is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in French culture and cuisine, and offers one of the best panoramic views of the Riviera. It is easy to see why this

quaint medieval village continues to attract artists and celebrities, and is considered a “must-see” on the Cote d’Azur!

Sites to see:

Visit the old town and fountains. St Jacques le Majeur church.

Chapelle St Barthélémy.Automobile museum. Photography museum.

Gloss is a perfect illus-tration of how a restaurant can of-fer great food, eclectic ambiance and fantastic wine … without charging the world. Everything about this restaurant exudes style and creativity, from the canvassed specials board set upon a purple easel, to the philosophy that EV-ERYTHING is made in-house. Gloss is certainly a secret that deserves to be shared.

The menu, which is imaginatively presented on linen fabric, offers an array of “world food” including Mexi-can, Italian, American, Indian and of course French. The beef or chicken fajitas are a popular “make yourself” dish, and the combination of spices are near impossible to mimic in one’s own kitchen. Sticking with the spicy theme, there are Malay style prawns, Korma lamb, and beef sate, with prices averaging between 9-10€.

For pasta lovers, the fresh gnocchi and Provençal sauce is just 7€. For 9.90€ you can have the gnocchi with fresh Gorgonzola and Parma ham. A dish of ravioli and artichokes is avail-able for 10.50€.

Many dishes are accompanied with house-made chunky chips, the one’s that mum used to make but with far less oil. The kebab is a personal favourite, with perfectly cook lamb set upon a bed of ratatouille, tomato caviar and olive tapendade, encased in a crunchy Italian-style roll.

French dishes include the classic beef entrecôte – the most popular cut of beef in France – for just 11.90€, or add a Gorgonzola sauce and tap-enade for just 2€ extra. Fish dishes include grilled loup with artichokes and salmon with basil cream sauce, again fantastically priced at 10.90€.

So if they are charging such “old school” prices for food, then you must be imagining the wine list is where they mark up the prices. Not so. A bottle of Côte de Provence (lo-cal) wine will set you back just 12.90€. If you don’t feel like indulging in a whole bottle, then you can purchase a 50cl bottle for 9.90€. These are en-joyable table wines and are available in white, rose or red. For a more ro-bust wine, we recommend the Ban-dol red/rose for 22€. However, if you are looking for a super cheap night out, you can order a carafe of table wine for just 5.50€.

Desserts consist of a mix of classic Italian and French favourites, includ-ing Tiramisu, apple, strawberry or lemon tart, and crème brulée. Again, these are reasonably priced at just 4.50€. A fantastic option is the Café Gloss, with fresh fruit, two small tarts and an espresso for 5.50€. Overall, a dinner for two including wine and dessert will set you back as little as 35€.

Gloss Restaurant Lounge is an easy ten-minute stroll north of the old town; in a quiet centre street not far from the bus station Gare Routière. The warm, violet ambiance and apt mood music is as perfect for an inti-mate dinner for two as it is a fun night out with friends. There is a large ta-ble for groups, and in a unique twist, the restaurant actually allows you to choose a set menu in advance for your guests. And while the menu is in French, the staff speak English and offer excellent service.

So for a truly memorable dining ex-perience, and a guarantee of walking away happy with not only the food but also the price, then you must try Gloss – a unique gem in the Nice res-taurant scene.

Café Borghèse offers a menu so varied and creative, it is hard to categorise this as a French res-taurant. Nonetheless, Parisian chef Val-erie Neri has managed to create a menu consisting of classic French ingredients enhanced by a creative modern flair. The end result is both immensely satisfying to the eye, and the taste buds!

The restaurant offers an ambiance reminis-cent of a 1950’s modish café. The interior is bathed in warm reds and complimented by a Michelangelo-style motif on the ceiling. It all makes for a very warm and welcom-ing dining experience. There is also a large seating area outside capturing the sun for the majority of the day.

A particularly unique aspect of the res-taurant is that they don’t have a standard menu from which to choose from. Rather, a relatively large chalkboard listing the day’s dishes is revealed to customers. This inevi-tably has a two-fold effect … the chef can choose dishes dependant upon the avail-ability of fresh produce, and the customer can return never having to order the same thing twice (if they don’t want to!).

So that sets the scene … now for the dishes. There’s a Paella with Pasits-flambé King prawns; two different kinds of duck breast, one prepared with “chunky“ salt (sel de Guerande), or a sweet & salty butter. For 13€, there’s the homemade made beef ravioli with tomato concasse. And thinly sliced grilled lamb with thyme. The beef is prepared in-house, sliced and served with delicious homemade chips. The most pop-ular starters include salmon tartare and the Crostini de Rouget- juicy tender fillets of fish delivered on a baguette with fresh tomatoes, homemade tapenade and basil sauce.

There is no skimping on the meal sizes, and they are all very well priced between 10-14€, or 17-18€ for beef and seafood. Of course no meal is complete without wine, and there is a fantastic variety available, the most popu-lar being the Minuty red, for just 2.50€ a glass during happy hour, 3.50€ before/after happy hour, and 18€ for the bottle. A carafe of Merlot will set you back just 6€.

Despite a full stomach, it is impossible to miss the desserts. They are all made in-house and offer a fantastic twist on world favourites, including crème brulée served with cinnamon cake (pain d’epice); choco-late mousse; tiramisu; pana cotta with gin-ger and mint; and Café Gourmand – a plate of two mini desserts and an espresso.

Alexandre Bento is one of the most friendly and hospitable restaurant owners around, and if you are lucky, he’ll offer you one of their deliciously wicked, lolly-infused vod-ka shots. For lovers of fine liquor, there is cave of whiskey with an incredible 20 dif-ferent varieties, together with 25 assorted alcohols. Happy hour for wine and beer is between 5-8pm, while cocktails are spe-cially priced between 5-9pm. Be sure to ask about the jazz concerts that are held here once a month too!

Café Borghese is more than just a restaurant; it can be enjoyed at 4 in the afternoon with a glass of Calva-dos and a quarter of camembert, as much as at 9 in the evening with a 3 course meal and 2 bottles of wine! Overall, the combination of high quality food, scrumptious wines and liquors, and cosy décor inevitably leave diners with a feeling of con-tentment and a promise to return!

Feature Article“3 strikes” law – an attack on civil liberty or saviour of the music & film industries?

A favourite French past-time - lunch - may have led to the con-troversial “3 strikes and your disconnected” law being tossed out of parliament in early April, but it certainly doesn’t mean Internet users are home-free. In fact the world is watching closely as the French parliament continues to debate a new law that has gone as far as being likened to the Gestapo.

The idea behind the Hadopi (la Haute Autorité pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des Droits sur Internet) law is to es-tablish an independent administrative authority to monitor surveil-lance data. When an illegal downloader is exposed, the authority can instruct the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to initiate action. Firstly, a warning email is sent to the computer user, followed by a letter in the post. If, after this second warning, they continue to illegally download copyrighted content the ISP will cut off access to the Internet for a year.

The legislation, proposed by the Sarkozy government, was initial-ly passed with a massive cross-party majority of 297 votes to 15. However, out of the 577 MPs in France, only 36 were present on April 9 when the vote went to the Lower house. Apparently, most of the members of the presidential party were off to lunch! So, the law was rejected 21 votes to 15. According to reports, the Socialist deputies changed their initial position and voted against the law after witnessing the mass opposition from the French public. The government proceeded to blame the opposition for having had “hid-den MPs” in the house which miraculously sprung out at voting time, while the Sarkozy government was accused of subverting the democratic process by scheduling a vote when most senators were absent, believing a vote wouldn’t come until after Easter.

So how does illegal file sharing work? In order to download mov-ies, music and television shows, people generally use software known as peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs such as BitTor-rent, KaZaA and Soulseek, which can also be downloaded from the Internet. Because most Hollywood feature films are too large to be downloaded from a single website, file-sharers connect directly with each other. Through P2P software, people can automatically download segments from hundreds or thousands of other individu-als’ computers at the same time. Once a person has downloaded an entire film, it can then be shared with everyone else who is trying to download it. That person has thus progressed from a downloader to a distributor of the copyrighted material. This system of download-ing has not been stopped yet because there is no single website to

close down, as the copyrighted material is split between thousands of PC’s around the world.

In 2005 the worldwide motion picture industry including foreign and domestic producers, distributors, theatres, video stores and pay-per view providers lost $18.2 billion to piracy. Meanwhile, nearly half of all daily Internet surfers admit to downloading films and mu-sic illegally (Metro survey). It is clear that some form of legislation is necessary to control the industry.

However, there are some very valid concerns regarding the Hadopi law. Firstly, the act of taking away a person’s Internet access is con-sidered a breach of civil liberties and human rights, and goes against a recent European Union amendment that defined Internet access as a “fundamental freedom”. Secondly, the clear lack of judicial pro-cess and the presumption of guilt without trial defy the most basic principals of justice. As the law currently stands there is still no ad-equate appeals process for the accused, nor is there a clear definition of substantial burden of proof. This is particularly troubling con-sidering the ease with which people can ‘hack-into’ someone else’s Internet provider. Thirdly, there is the issue of money. The Hadopi law, as it stood at the time of this article going to print, required us-ers who were cut off from the Internet to continue to pay their ISP for Internet access.

The “3 strikes” law is likely to be voted on again sometime in 2009, and there is a strong possibility it will be passed, with amendments. While public opposition continues to mount, there is also a need to understand that the 8 million people who are on file-sharing net-works at any one time worldwide are in fact stealing, and in the process threaten to destroy an industry that supports global econo-mies. Not to mention the 300,000€ fine and 3 year jail sentence if you get caught!

Before is the kind of place you must be in-troduced to, in order to find. Hidden behind it’s unassuming exterior is a chic and viva-cious bar, which draws in a fantastic fusion of people from all ages and professions.

Upon entering Before, patrons are seated by a very friendly and helpful host. Each room offers a differ-ent ambiance, whether it’s the stylish lounge with leather banquet sofas and suede chairs; the dimly lit bar, illuminated by cleverly placed fluorescent lights; or the DJ room with a gigantic incandescent tube. Given the impressive interior, you automati-cally assume the prices are going to be just as ex-travagant. In fact, the drinks are very reasonably priced before10pm, and slightly more expensive between 10pm and 12.30am.

In classic French style, an aperitif plate is delivered to every table upon seating. But this is far from your average selection of olives and peanuts. A delicious array of tapas, fresh vegetables and dip, mozzarella and basil stuffed cherry tomatoes, marinated olives and quiche are served on an elevated frame for all to enjoy. In fact, between the aperitif plate and a few glasses of wine, there is little room left for dinner!

A glass of wine costs around 6€ before 10pm, and 7.50€ after 10pm. Beer is available for 4€/5.50€ and 8€/10€ for a pint. There is a great selection of

champagne cocktails, and unique blends including the Mojito Bull, made of rhum, fresh mint, lime, cane sugar and Red Bull. Cocktails average between 9€ and 12.50€, but are quite large and the glasses are not filled to the rim with ice-cubes.

As the name suggests, this is the kind of bar you go to before heading out on the town. However, that is not to say that Before is your average “after work” venue. The sun may be shining outside; while inside there is an energy and atmosphere comparable to any other bar at 1am!

Before is approximately 15 minutes walk west of the old town, and is a comfortable and safe stroll through the Zone Piétonne. It is undoubtedly a fa-vourite among the locals, and deserves to be on ev-eryone’s “must-try” list.

Recipes from the Riviera

INGREDIENTS

(Serves 2)2 beef steaks8 scallops 8 prawns10 mussels½ cup white wine ½ cup cream2 tablespoons butter (beurre)olive oil (huille olive)2 cloves garlic finely diced (ail)½ cup milk (lait)2 eggs1 bunch fresh continental parsley finely shredded (persil)1 bunch fresh basil chopped (basilic)3 sweet potatoes4 aubergines1 cup emmental cheese, grated salt and pepper to taste

Surf ‘n’ TurfA delicious combination of seafood and beef, served with aubergine gratin

and sweet potato purée.

Coquilles Saint-Jaques Crevettes Côte de Boeuf Moules

To prepare the seafood:De-beard the mussels and peel the prawns and set aside.

To make the mash:Peel the sweet potatoes and boil until soft, around 20 minutes. Fry the garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter and add to the drained sweet po-tatoes. Mash together and at the end add basil and parsley.

To make the aubergine gratin:Slice the aubergine lengthways and lay in a deep, ovenproof baking tray. In a bowl, combine the milk, eggs, salt and Pepper and whisk. Pour the mixture over the aubergine and top with cheese. Bake in a moderate oven (180°C) for 25-30 minutes or until cooked in the middle (stick a knife in the middle to see if aubergine is tender).

Bon Appétit!

Cours Saleya fruit & vegetable market

To make the seafood sauce:Add 2 knobs of butter to a pan, and at a high heat fry off all the seafood quickly, approximately 3 minutes. Do not overcook the seafood, as itwill become tough and chewy. While the heat is still high, add the white wine and reduce until half the liquid is gone, approximately 3 minutes. Add the cream and reduce once again. Set aside.

To cook the perfect steak:Heat a pan to very high (the hotter the better, as it seals in the meat juices and makes a nice ‘crust’ adding to the flavour). Add oil to the pan just before the steaks go in. As most chefs recommend, you should cook your steak medium rare, and for a 300-gram steak this takes around 4 minutes per side. Set aside to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Butcher on rue St François Seafood market on Place St François

To serve:Pour the warm seafood sauce on top of the steak and serve with the sweet potato mash and a slice of the auber-gine gratin.

Serve with a bottle of Font du Broc red wine, which you can purchase at most good wine caves, and you have a fantastic dish made of fresh local produce!

Don’t miss out! Markets are only open until approximately 1pm, while butchers are generally closed be-tween 12.30-2.30pm.
