The 49-year-old singer took up residence in the Sir Sean Connery suite at the five-star Intercontinental Carlton Palace hotel in Cannes.
And it appears that every attempt was made to accommodate the notoriously demanding singer's needs.
With not one but two treadmills and a fridge full of mineral water, Madonna's fitness regime is clearly still in full effect.

Madonna and Guy, 38, were seen at last night's world première of the singer's documentary about Malawi AIDS orphans ' I Am Because We Are'.
And the tastefully decorated lounge of the hotel which is on the Croisette, Cannes showy promenade, looks more than restful for the couple who have travelled to France without their children, Lourdes, 11, Rocco, and David, 3.
And the couple that bathe together clearly stay together as a sumptuous round bath occupies the huge bathroom/jacuzzi, as well as side by side bathroom sinks.

One place they definitely will want to be together is the super king-sized bed, especially fit for a queen...of pop that is.
Complete with a stunning view of the harbour, the singer can't have failed to be pleased.

And tonight she will be joined by a host of other A-list stars today to continue her mission to raise awareness about Aids.At a press conference in Cannes today she was asked about the controversy over the adoption process. Madonna said: "It was painful and a big struggle and I didn't understand it.
"But in the end I rationalised that when a woman has a child and goes through natural childbirth, she suffers an enormous amount.
"So I sort of went through my own kind of birthing pains, dealing with the press on my doorstep, accusing me of kidnapping or whatever you want to call it.
"But I had to go through some kind of process and in the end it made me stronger so I can't complain."

When asked whether she believed David's natural mother had died from Aids and whether his father had agreed to the adoption.
The singer replied: "Yes his mother did die of Aids and yes, I met his father and he has absolutely agreed to the adoption.
"There is nothing controversial about the adoption. This adoption essentially was the beginning of the creation of adoption laws in Malawi.
"I am the template or the role model so to speak for future adoptions."
She said she hoped it would make the process easier for other people to adopt children, continuing: "I am happy to be a guinea pig.
The film features interviews with Bill Clinton among others and shows a stark picture of desperate poverty and children orphaned by Aids.
Director Nathan Rissman previously did several jobs for Madonna, including a stint as her gardener.
She added: "To say that this film is a labour of love is true, but that's kind of trivial because really what it is, is a journey of a lifetime."
Later she will attend a fundraising event for amfAR, the Foundation for Aids Research.
The guest list also includes Sharon Stone, Mischa Barton, P Diddy, Liz Hurley, Cannes jury president Sean Penn, Christian Slater, Quentin Tarantino, Donatella Versace, Dita Von Teese.
