The Riviera is calling! It’s only a few more days until the global advertising industry descends on Cannes and the LBB & Friends Beach opens its doors. All this week we’ve been introducing the fabulous seaside stars who are making our Cannes hotspot happen. Today it’s Loveurope, The Lift and threesome Jungle Group, Native and El Carousel who will be DJing the beach and will be hosting the relaxing ‘Hanging Gardens’.
