Cannes


Beyond the red carpet, Cannes is Belle Époque palaces on the Croisette, monastery-made wine on Saint-Honorat and Europe's biggest yacht show.

When to go

April to October; May brings the Film Festival, September the Yachting Festival. June and late September offer warm sea with fewer crowds.

Getting there

Nice Côte d'Azur airport 35–45 minutes by private chauffeur, or a 10-minute helicopter transfer; Cannes-Mandelieu is one of Europe's busiest business-jet airports.

What we arrange

Hotels and chalets, private transfers and helicopters, restaurant reservations, guides, events and everything in between — on one WhatsApp thread.

Things to do

Beyond the obvious.

01

Cannes Yachting Festival

Europe's largest in-water boat show each September in the Vieux Port and Port Canto — private viewings arranged.

02

Île Saint-Honorat monastery wine tasting

Private boat to the Lérins island where Cistercian monks make cult Syrah and Chardonnay amid vineyards and sea.

03

Cannes Film Festival access

Accredited gala tickets, red-carpet dressing and yacht-hosted parties during the May festival fortnight.

04

Superyacht charter along the Estérel coast

Day cruise past the red Estérel cliffs to Théoule and Saint-Raphaël, with swimming stops and lunch on board.

05

Grasse perfume atelier

Create a bespoke fragrance with a master perfumer in the historic perfume capital, thirty minutes inland.

Insider note

Le Suquet's old-town lanes at dusk beat the Croisette — and book the Martinez beach and La Palme d'Or the moment festival dates are announced.
