Everyone from Mick Jagger to Bono has partied at this photographer's villa during the Cannes Film Festival

Jean Pigozzi's pool parties might be as famous as the guests who have attended them over the years.

Businessman, art collector, philanthropist, and all-around entertainer, Pigozzi has been throwing his notorious pool parties at his home in the south of France during the Cannes Film Festival for years.

A gracious host, Pigozzi also lets guests stay overnight. Filmmaker Brett Ratner recently told Vanity Fair, "After I was banned from the Hotel Du Cap for life, I moved into Jean's house during the Cannes Film Festival."

Guests like Sharon Stone, Woody Allen, Tony Bennett, and Jane Fonda have all graced his Villa Dorane with their presence, their attendance forever immortalized by Pigozzi's camera.

His book, "Pool Party," chronicles what went down in the villa's backyard pool, which looks out onto the ocean.

Ahead, see six snaps that prove Pigozzi's parties are not to be missed.
