Jolie-Pitts Descend on French Riviera

The bad news: Poor Brad and Angie couldn't find a place to stay in the French Riviera, so they've settled for bunking with a friend.

The good news: The friend happens to be Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and the home is a little place called Villa Maryland -- a massive, fully-staffed $60 million mansion overlooking the Mediterranean.

With friends like these . . .

Did the Jolie-Pitts accidentally forget to invite you for a Cannes Film Festival getaway? Don't take it to heart. There are several great lodging options in Cote d'Azur, even for those not on Paul Allen's speed dial.

Check out our picks after the jump.

Rock me Amadeus!
Chateau de la Chevre d'Or

Hotel Brise Marine is a no-frills, 18-room converted villa with lovely harbor views. A double room with a balcony is just $266, the approximate cost of one serving of Shiloh's baby food.

A bit pricier but with the added bonus of a prime hilltop location in medieval Eze village, the Chateau de la Chevre d'Or is a knockout, even by James Bond standards.

Or organize your own celebrity escape and rent a private villa. Pick up a copy of the June 2008 issue of Conde Nast Traveler next week for a list of Wendy Perrin's hand-selected villa rental agents.    

And if you run into the Jolie-Pitt clan while perfecting your tan, tell 'em we said congratulations on the twins!
