Alain Ducasse to Cook in Electrolux Agora Pavilion at Cannes

The Festival de Cannes is a perennial draw for the world's hottest celebrities, but this year, it will also host Alain Ducasse and his culinary staff at the event's Electrolux Agora Pavilion as they create gourmet delights for Cannes' official events and meals for opening and closing night.

With his Cannes appearance, Ducasse joins the recent wave of high-profile food and wine professionals seen at film festivals. In February, sommelier Charlie Arturaola was spotted at the Berlin International Film Festival; in January, chef Markus Glocker of The London in New York was seen at the Sundance Film Festival. "It seems that celebrity chefs, and all that surround them, have become the latest species to descend on the film festival circuit," concluded the Hollywood Reporter.
