Elton John and his husband David Furnish have been residents of the Cote d'Azur for years. They usually spent their summers here and it's not unusual that they invite some of their celebrity friends to visit them.

After hosting How I Met Your Mother's star Neil Patrick Harris and his family in July, the Johns enjoyed a fun day out with David and Victoria Beckham and their children, including siblings Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, at the stunning Ile Sainte-Marguerite.

The celebrity squad had lunch at La Guerite Restaurant, a fresh seafood paradise nestled within the island's nature reserve. Ile Sainte Marguerite, just off the coast of Cannes, can be accessed via daily ferries from Cannes or, like the Beckhams did, aboard a private yacht.
