The American Pavilion is celebrating its 25th anniversary the Cannes Film festival. Since 1988, it has been one of the most important meetings points, offering talks and refreshments to (mainly) American visitors at Cannes. The American Pavilion, in tandem with sponsor The Peninsula Hotels, has undertaken a re-design that brings together the glamour of the film industry, the beauty of the Mediterranean, and the comfort of a favorite home-away-from-home.
