Check FAQAbout Arnold
Arnold Verhoeven is a Wikipedia-featured independent writer, author, and fixer based year-round on a yacht in Cannes’ Old Harbor, specializing in the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur). Drawing from over three decades of experience living and working on the coastline, he translates his deep insider knowledge into narrative non-fiction, true stories, and reporting on local infrastructure, real estate, politics, and crime. A full-package creator, Arnold delivers ready-to-publish pieces paired with original high-resolution photography and licensed 4K drone footage. Key Credentials: • Narrative Non-Fiction: Author of multiple books detailing the true realities behind the Riviera's glamour, with material currently optioned for US television development by Oscar-nominated producer Fredric King at Fountainhead Films. • Proven Reach: Author of the Dutch Amazon #1 bestseller Quick Quick Slow (inspired by his background as a national TV host). • Coverage Areas: Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Saint-Tropez, and the wider Alpes-Maritimes

Portfolio
Each spring, Cannes performs a peculiar balancing act as global events turn this coastal town into a temporary metropolis. Hemmed in by the Alps and the sea, the city cannot physically expand, turning proximity to the Palais des Festivals into a multi-million-dollar logistical challenge.
In this narrative feature, I explore an unexpected solution that has quietly emerged. Beyond the mega-yachts of film stars, business visitors have begun renting ordinary boats in the Old Harbor as pragmatic, mid-priced corporate housing—effectively shifting the city's borders onto the water to survive its spatial limits.
