At MPIM this year, in keeping with the air of austerity (if drinking beer on the Riviera instead of champagne can be called austerity), there are no floating gin palaces out in the bay groaning under the weight of inebriated delegates.
However, one huge boat is dominating the seascape - a French warship.
A perfect metaphor for an industry with a gun pointed at its head ? Or a warning to delegates not to let things get too rowdy ?
