I was in the LV boutique in Cannes which is right on the Croisette - the beach front road right across from where the film festival is held each year.
There's no parking allowed outside but a bright red open-top Porsche pulls up right in front and out steps this swanky looking couple who come into the store.
Naturally they don't even acknowledge the security guy who opens the door for them.
I commented to the SA about me & my DH (who was with me) clearly not being in the smart set as we'd had to park in the harbour car park.
The SA, sotto voce, says to us: 'oh that won't be their car. It happens all the time and it's all for show. They hire the car just so they can pull up outside. What they don't know is they'll either get a parking ticket or be towed!.'
