CANNES

The city of Cannes with its Palais des Festivals et des Congrès is recognized as the leading business destination, after Paris, in hosting the most well-known events. - A human dimension city in a unique natural setting Located on the Mediterranean coast and in the heart of the Côte d’Azur, Cannes is accessible by air, rail, and road and benefits from a privileged climate all year round. With 8,000 rooms ranging from 2- to 5-star hotels, shops, and restaurants, Cannes offers a unique experience where everything is accessible on foot. - A worldwide awarded destination Awarded Europe’s Leading Festival and Event Destination in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 and voted by its peers as World’s Leading Festival and Event Destination in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, Cannes is the first and only French city to win this prestigious award. For over 75 years, Cannes has hosted the world’s most famous cultural event, the Cannes Film Festival. The city also welcomes major events such as the Cannes Lions, the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Festival de la Danse (Dance Festival), the Festival des Séries (Series Festival), and the Festival des Jeux (Games Festival), making it a truly unique destination. - Renewal / investments Since 2014, Cannes has invested heavily to give the city the international dimension it deserves, notably through the renewal of the legendary Croisette. More elegant, secure, greener, and better illuminated, the Croisette combines aesthetics and functionality for both business and leisure, luxurious while remaining accessible to all. Prestigious hotels such as Le Majestic, Carlton, JW Marriott, Martinez, and Palm Beach have invested nearly one billion euros to enhance the boulevard’s appeal. The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès is also part of this dynamic, placing innovation and technology at the heart of its facilities. The permanent Hi5 Studio is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, a 120 m² set, and a 350-person capacity to accommodate modern hybrid event formats. - Sustainably welcoming the world The Palais des Festivals holds ISO 20121 certification, an international standard for sustainable events management. It is also the first French conference centre to become a « société à mission » with three major objectives: Connect – creating links beyond differences and distances; Take Care – improving well-being and developing solidarity; Reveal – inspiring the world and showcasing talent.

Historical landmark
5 mins
The old town of Cannes called Suqet, with its cobbled streets, picturesque facades and bougainvillea in bloom in summer. It's a magnificent setting, perfect for beautiful photos! We take the time to walk from one street to another, from rue Saint-Antoine to rue du Suquet, and on the way we find ourselves at the crossroads of several streets where a small fountain stands, the fountain of Suquet. Many artists have settled in this area, and the view from the top is simply magnificent.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
