The Diary: The Gentleman’s Journal x Horizons Lunch

The Gentleman’s Journal once again headed to the South of France for a memorable weekend supporting a charitable cause

It was that time of year again when the Gentleman’s Journal packs up their suitcases and heads to the Cannes Film Festival. This year we traded The Martinez Hotel and headed to Cap d’Antibes. The first night we welcomed guests to special dinner at the Hotel Belles Rives in partnership with Luca Faloni.

The next day, with a few sore heads from the previous night’s antics, we co-hosted a lunch in aid of Great Ormond Street. Over 170 guests attended and over £220k was raised for charity. It’s fair to say the weather gods hadn’t been kind to us, however, that didn’t dampen our spirits. Guests were treated to a specular buffet lunch, with lashings of Rock Angel kindly supported by Sacha Lichine, the founder of Château d’Esclans.

After lunch the sun decided to show itself, and the party carried on until the early hours of Sunday morning with multiple Villa moves.

The next day it was on to Cannes Island to visit the famous La Gurite Restaurant.

To say “what a weekend” would be an understatement. Lots of memories were made and a large amount of money was raised for a great cause.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all that were involved, and till next year, Cannes.
