Cannes Film Festival transport guide: your private chauffeur

Every spring, the Cannes Film Festival attracts producers, actors, journalists, partners and guests from all over the world. During those days, the town lives at a unique pace: the Croisette partly closed, hotels full, traffic very slow.

Having a chauffeur at your disposal changes everything. Here is how to prepare your travel.

Arriving in Cannes

Most festival-goers land at Nice Côte d’Azur airport. Your chauffeur waits for you at the terminal, tracks your flight and drives you straight to your hotel or villa. To find out more about this journey, read our page private chauffeur Nice – Cannes.

Some guests arrive by private jet at Cannes-Mandelieu: pick-up can also be arranged at the foot of the aircraft, according to terminal rules.

A chauffeur at your side all day

Limousine by the hour

Rather than booking each journey, many professionals keep the same chauffeur for several hours or several days. Meetings, lunches, screenings and parties follow one another without waiting.

A car that matches the event

Mercedes S-Class for a memorable arrival, E-Class for working days, V-Class for a team: the fleet adapts to your schedule. Discover it on our page Mercedes fleet with chauffeur.

Discretion

Our chauffeurs are used to well-known personalities and busy schedules. They remain discreet, punctual and reachable at all times.

Parties and private events

Festival parties are often held outside the centre: villas in the hills, private beaches, Cap d’Antibes. Your chauffeur drops you off, waits or comes back for you at the agreed time. You enjoy the night without thinking about getting home.

Advice from our chauffeurs

• Book as soon as your dates are set: chauffeurs are in high demand during the fortnight.
• Send your schedule, even provisional, so we can anticipate the busy slots.
• Allow extra time before a red-carpet appearance: the area around the Palais is tightly controlled.
• For a team, group journeys together in a van.

We also cover the Monaco Grand Prix and major trade shows. All our event services are on the page chauffeur for Cannes and Monaco.

Cannes in Festival mode: what changes

During the fortnight, the perimeter around the Palais des Festivals is tightly managed. Some streets are closed or restricted, checks are frequent and screening times dictate all traffic. The Croisette area becomes particularly slow in the late afternoon and evening.

Drop-off points

Your chauffeur drops you as close as possible to venues according to the open access routes. For a red-carpet appearance, guests follow the organisers’ instructions. Keep your accreditation or invitation to hand.

The hotels on the Croisette

The grand seafront hotels have specific entrances. The chauffeur knows how they work and stops at the most convenient entrance.

Accommodation beyond Cannes

Many professionals stay in Mougins, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins or Nice, for lack of available rooms in the centre. A chauffeur makes these addresses as convenient as a hotel on the Croisette: he drives you in the morning and brings you back after the last party.

Organisation tailored to teams

Production companies, distributors, partner brands: an entire team may need several vehicles. We coordinate chauffeurs, timings and meeting points based on your schedule, so everyone is on time for their appointments.

In summary

During the Festival, your time is precious. A private chauffeur spares you the search for parking, the waiting and the detours. Book on our booking page or send us your schedule by WhatsApp.
