When is the best time to hold an event in Cannes?

To enjoy the sunny weather, plan your event between April and October.

What are the costs associated with renting a venue for an event in Cannes?

You can find venues starting at €300 for a half-day rental, with prices rising to several thousand euros for a villa or private beach during a major festival. Additional costs may apply for cleaning, security, equipment, or staff.

How can I plan an event alongside major festivals like the Cannes Film Festival or Cannes Lions?

Venues are reserved very early, especially those near the Croisette. Choose a location close to the Palais des Festivals, and think about key services: cocktail catering, DJ, branding, security, and shuttles.

What venues are available for hosting an event in Cannes?

You can opt for a sea-view villa, a private beach for a cocktail party with your feet in the sand, a rooftop overlooking the Croisette, a stylish restaurant, a central reception hall, or even a yacht for an event at sea. Whether you're planning a product launch, networking event, or private party, there’s a venue in Cannes to match every format and atmosphere.

What is a basecamp in Cannes?

A basecamp in Cannes is a venue you book near the Palais des Festivals to act as your team's base during a congress such as Cannes Lions, MIPIM, ILTM, or TFWA. It is where you regroup between meetings, host clients, and run your cocktails and dinners, all in a setting that is entirely your own.

What types of venues work as a basecamp in Cannes?

The best basecamps in Cannes are villas and apartments when you need accommodation, and restaurants, beach clubs, and rooftops when you want a daytime and evening base. The right choice depends on your congress, your team size, and how close you want to be to the Palais des Festivals.

When should I book a basecamp in Cannes?

As early as possible. The best venues near the Croisette go months in advance for the major congresses, often right after the previous edition. The earlier you plan, the more choice you have over location and capacity.

What events can I host in a basecamp?

Plenty. Team briefings, client meetings, working lunches, cocktails, private dinners, and brand activations can all take place in the same venue across the congress week.

Morgane is an excellent communicator and very thorough I much enjoyed working with her. Its a great service and brilliant platform. GDI was let down early on by our original space and Morgane worked very hard to source a replacement venue.
