Cannes Lions Chauffeur Guide
How to attend Cannes Lions with a private chauffeur — the festival of creativity each June, around the Croisette crowds and closures.
Each June, Cannes Lions — the International Festival of Creativity — fills the Palais and the Croisette with the advertising, media and technology world. It is a week of back-to-back meetings, brand events and late nights, where moving efficiently between venues matters. Here is how to attend Cannes Lions with a chauffeur.
The festival of creativity
Cannes Lions gathers tens of thousands of delegates from the creative and marketing industries around the Palais des Festivals each June, with talks, awards and the brand activations that spill along the Croisette and out onto yachts in the bay.
It is a business festival with the glamour of Cannes — and a schedule that rarely pauses.
- The International Festival of Creativity
- Centred on the Palais des Festivals
- Advertising, media and technology delegates
- Held each June
A week of meetings
The value of Cannes Lions is in the meetings, and they are scattered — the Palais, hotel suites, beach venues and yachts, often minutes apart but slow to reach on foot through the crowds. A chauffeur on call keeps a packed diary running, delivering you on time between one appointment and the next.
For teams working the week, it is the difference between making every meeting and missing half.
- Meetings scattered across the town and bay
- Slow going on foot through the crowds
- Chauffeur on call to keep the diary running
- On-time arrivals between appointments
Beaches, yachts and evenings
Much of the festival happens on the beach takeovers, aboard the yachts moored off the Croisette, and at dinners and parties that run late. A chauffeur carries guests between the town, the port and the events through the night, however long the evening runs.
It keeps the social side as smooth as the working day.
Arriving and getting around
Cannes is around 30 minutes from Nice Airport, and a chauffeur meets your flight and handles the week from there. Because June brings the town to capacity, booking cars and hotels well ahead is essential.
From arrival to departure, the ground side is handled.
