Private chauffeur for the Cannes Film Festival

For about twelve days in May, Cannes becomes the capital of cinema: red-carpet climbs, screenings, parties on the beaches and in the hotels. On the Croisette everything is slower, more closed, more closely watched. A chauffeur who knows the setup saves you what matters: being on time, in the right place.

The Croisette, security perimeters and drop-off

During the Festival the surroundings of the Palais des Festivals are protected by security perimeters, and part of the Croisette is closed to traffic at certain hours. Vehicles cannot go right up to the red carpet: the chauffeur drops you at a permitted drop-off point, from where you finish on foot. State the time of your screening and the name of your hotel when you book.

The palace hotels of the Croisette run their own arrivals: dedicated entrances, lines of cars, evening dress. The chauffeur chooses the shortest approach and positions himself or herself to collect you at the agreed time.

Full days, late evenings

A Festival day often links a press breakfast, meetings, a screening, a cocktail and then a gala dinner. With a full-day chauffeur you do not have to wait for a vehicle between two events, nor worry about the return late at night. Give us the list of your appointments and approximate times: we organise the stages and the waiting times.

The villas in the hills of Cannes, Mougins or La Californie also host many receptions: give the exact address and the access code and the chauffeur prepares the route in advance.

Reaching Cannes from Nice Airport

The link between Nice Airport and Cannes normally takes half an hour, but during the Festival the A8 is saturated and the journey can approach an hour and a quarter. Plan a pickup as soon as you land, with a chauffeur who tracks your flight, and keep a comfortable margin if you have a meeting on arrival. The dedicated Nice to Cannes transfer page details the journey times by season.

For the return, give your terminal and flight time: we set the departure from Cannes with an extra margin, because Sunday evening and Monday morning are the busiest slots.
