Apartment and villa rentals in Cannes for Cannes Lions 2027

Because it is the only one to fall in the middle of the tourist season. The autumn and winter congresses compete for a town empty of holidaymakers; in June, festival teams arrive on a Riviera that is already full. Demand adds rather than replaces, and summer rates form the base for the festival mark-up rather than being exempt from it.

No, not without our prior written agreement — and it is the most useful answer we can give you about this show. Our rental terms provide for private residential use: receptions, client evenings and gatherings exceeding the property's capacity are excluded. A team meeting or a dinner among colleagues does not fall into that category. If your programme includes an event, tell us when you enquire: some owners accept it under conditions, and failing that we will point you to an event venue.

Between February and April for the June edition, based on the booking window we see on this show. After spring it is the larger capacities that run short first: of the 8 properties in this selection, only 2 sleep eight or more.

Yes, and this selection includes one, sleeping 10. It is in Petit Juas, around twenty minutes on foot from the Palais or a short drive — that is the price of space: you do not find two hundred square metres with a garden two streets from the Croisette.

Yes. Several properties in this selection are four minutes from the Palais and a few streets apart. Give us the total headcount in your enquiry rather than the number of properties you want: we will propose the combination that keeps travel between addresses to a minimum.

Five festival days mean seven nights in practice: you arrive on the Saturday or Sunday and leave the following Saturday. In June the full week is the common format on the Riviera anyway, which makes availability simpler. The exact length is agreed case by case, as terms vary from owner to owner.

A non-refundable deposit of 30 per cent within seven days of confirmation, the balance sixty days before arrival, by bank transfer in euros. On cancellation: beyond sixty days the deposit is lost; between thirty and sixty days half the total remains due; under thirty days, the full amount. On a booking made in February for June, the first deadline therefore falls well before the festival.

Transfers from Nice, a car with a driver, a private chef, mid-stay housekeeping, restaurant and beach club bookings. In June these suppliers are already working flat out for the season before the festival is added on top: fourteen days' notice is a minimum, a month is more realistic.
