The world of The White Lotus Season 4 also descended on Tetou, making the two-hour pilgrimage from their set in Saint-Tropez to Cannes on their only day off just in time for dinner. This season’s plot, in a small “m” meta way, unfolds against the backdrop of the Cannes Film Festival.

Its producer, David Bernad, and the actor he cast as a producer, Charlie Hall — the son of Julia Louis-Dreyfus — were accompanied by AJ Michalka (one half of aughts Disney Channel sister band Aly & AJ), Chloé Bennet, and Marissa Long, who like her character, is a Cannes ingénue making a first, fateful debut, which made the evening feel even more like a White Lotus dress rehearsal.
