You come in empty handed and come out with bags filled with beauty products, chocolates, jewelry and candles, bottles of rosé or champagne, and sometimes even ... with a stay in Tahiti. Since Wednesday and until Thursday evening, dozens of film personalities have flocked to the “pre-Cesar gift suite” or “DPA suite” nestled on the 4th floor of the Intercontinental hotel (Paris IX).
These actors, directors or producers appointed for the ceremony or sufficiently "people" to be invited are offered gifts ... in exchange for a few photos which the brands will then publish on their Instagram or Facebook accounts.

In this Ali Baba cave, whose concept was also developed during the Cannes Festival, around fifteen exhibitors welcome the stars handpicked by Nathalie Dubois, mistress of the premises and founder of DPA.
Wednesday, even before the official opening of the suite, Isabelle Adjani opened the ball. "She robbed us of cosmetics", smile the representatives of the company Loix & Savons, who make soaps and creams on the Ile de Ré (Charente-Maritime) from donkey or goat milk - "fresh and not freeze-dried so that it retains its virtues ”, they specify.
After the actress, it is Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Antoine Duléry, Frédérique Bel, Maurice Barthélémy, Chantal Ladesou, Armelle or the aspirants to the César of the best hope Anthony Bajon (recently seen in "In the Name of the Earth") and Céleste Brunnquell ( seen in "Les Eblouis") who were spoiled.

These artists left with "indoor shoes" for men in velvet, rubber and leather ("I offered fifty pairs today", told us the designer of the Bokit brand on Wednesday evening), boxes "raw chocolate" (which would contain more magnesium and antioxidants than roasted chocolate).

But also candles with vegetable soy wax ("without black smoke or toxic fumes", guarantees the patron saint of the Auvergne brand Mathilde & Zoé), Cambodian scarves "united and trendy" responding to the sweet name of "Krama Heritage" … Or even creams labeled “Raw material”, made without preservatives and with seasonal plants.
Patagonia or Tahiti all costs paid
Even the most "VIP" guests have been offered handbags that can be transformed depending on whether they are worn during the day or in the evening - pieces worth 300 to 600 euros. And a handful of them even left with the promise of an all-expense paid vacation in France or abroad.
"Antoine Duléry seemed very interested in our stay in Patagonia and we may take Anthony Bajon canoeing", assured the entrepreneurs of "Out of reach", who organize "disconnected stays" in base of nature, sport and adventure in areas where the telephone does not pick up ... or almost not.
Arms loaded with packages of all sizes, Liane Foly did not return when she was offered a week in a luxury hotel in Tahiti. "Can I leave when I want?" She hopped. Before asking Nathalie Dubois about the others - rare - winners of this XXL gift. "Michel Boujenah too?" So let's go together! Smiled the singer and actress. Around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, the suite was preparing to close its doors to the other guests to welcome, in private, a famous TV host. In this lodge, as in the Cesars, not everyone plays in the same category ... But at least here, no one leaves empty-handed.
