Arrival tips
- Allow 45 min to 1h15 from Nice Airport to Cannes during the festival, versus 30 min off-season.
- For a red carpet slot, leave the hotel 45 min before the time on your invitation — the last 500 m are the slowest.
- In black tie, a close drop-off plus a short walk beats queueing in a line of cars.
- After midnight taxis are impossible to find: an evening hire often costs less than three separate rides.
- Bulky luggage (equipment, garment rails) needs a Van — tell us when booking.
Our service in Cannes
Cannes runs on its conference calendar: the Film Festival, Cannes Lions, MIPIM, MIPCOM. During those weeks the Croisette is gridlocked and parking near impossible. A dedicated chauffeur drops you at the Palais, waits and collects you after each meeting.
