High class escorts charging €1,000 an hour aboard luxury vessels afloat in the Riviera

The blonde Slovakian call girl who gave her name as Klara was dressed in a revealing thigh split dress, making her look no different to the ranks of models, actresses and Instagram influencers tottering around in high heels as they headed out to film events.

EXCLUSIVE: MailOnline investigation reveals 'putes de luxes' flock to Cannes Models, aspiring actresses and some Instagram influencers are invited on board

Red carpet film premieres and appearances by Hollywood A listers make it the epitome of glamour and the most prestigious date in the film world's calendar.

But behind the images of posh frocks and glitzy parties at the heart of the French Riviera, there is a seedy underbelly of sex for sale at the Cannes Film Festival which finishes today.

An investigation by MailOnline has revealed that up market call girls from across Europe, known as 'putes de luxes' in France, flock to the annual event to sell their bodies in luxury hotels.

The going rate for sex with a high class escort guaranteeing discretion to get round France's strict anti-prostitution laws is around 1,000 euros an hour.

But a more subtle form of prostitution exists on some of the superyachts which provide a floating home during the festival for Hollywood executives, film companies, and millionaire film fans.

Models, aspiring actresses and some Instagram influencers are invited to parties or to stay on board, enjoying champagne on tap.

But the unwritten expectation in some cases is that so-called ‘yacht girls’ will have to thank their hosts by having sex with them or other guests.

While there is nothing as vulgar as a price list, they can expect to round off their stay by being given a plain envelope stuffed with cash.

Back on dry land, the rules are simpler with escorts charging customers by the hour, and increasing their usual rates for the festival because they are in such demand.

Many can rely on boosting their earnings with tips and gifts, particularly from wealthy Middle Eastern clients.

MailOnline found one escort outside Le Majestic hotel at Cannes which is known for its celebrity guests paying 2,000 euros a night for a room during the festival, compared to a normal rate of 395 euros.

Assume anyone you see in a movie these days had to pay the price to get their role.

Rumors have always been around that Megan Markle was a yacht girl. And even that Prince Andrew and a few of Harry’s old friends ran into her on the yacht circuirt.

Whenever I go to San Diego for a meeting, I stay at the marina.

Every morning, you can see old guys (like me) working on their rigs, with spectacular 9s and 10s coming out of the cabin to head in to town.

It’s not just Cannes, and it’s not just billionaires.

Probably bringing it up because the Duchess of Hazzard, Daisy Meg Markle was a yacht girl.

Daily Mail is into this.

Every professional convention has prostitutes. The higher revenue the profession the higher revenue the prostitutes. So long as they’re all voluntary I don’t care.

Also every big sporting event, like the Super Bowl, or the NBA All Star Game.

A lot of those have traffickers, then the girls aren’t voluntary. That’s a problem. Also they have undercover cops, ask Warren Sapp. Those aren’t a problem for me, but they can be for somebody else. Like Warren.

Yup.

Just for giggles, I logged onto the Eurogirlsescort web site to check out the scene.

Quickly came to the conclusion that a lot of EuroGuys must have more money than taste when it comes to EuroGirls.

Kind of had higher expectations for what qualifies a 1000 euro per hour escort.

But what do I know.

Well, she had to make a living before she became an actress.

Is this news? Wherever the rich and famous gather it has always been thus. There have always been young beautiful women willing or desperate enough to trade youth and beauty for money. Questa la vita. Of those who take advantage of such women.... well, that is an old tale too.

I was on a cruiseship and there lots of cougars looking for young men. I was laughing the first time I saw that and thought that women’s lib has come a long way.

Probably had to supplement her acting career too. It’s a stretch to call her an actress!

“Kind of had higher expectations for what qualifies a 1000 euro per hour escort.”

That was my conclusion looking at the first photo at the top of this post. Kind of “meh” — needs a lot of gym time.
