The Palais des Festivals
Talks, exhibitions and the Lions award ceremonies are held here every day. The surrounding streets are restricted during the festival; your chauffeur drops you at the authorised point closest to your entrance.
Marketing & creativity
Transfers & chauffeur for Cannes Lions
Agencies, brands and creative teams meet at the Palais and across Cannes. Arrange airport transfers for colleagues, clients and speakers, followed by journeys to presentations and meetings. A premium van lets a small team travel together, subject to luggage requirements.
The event
Cannes Lions at a glance
Cannes Lions is the international festival of creativity. Every year, in June, agencies, advertisers, platforms and creatives from around the world gather in Cannes for several days of talks, awards and meetings.
During Cannes Lions, as much happens on the private beaches and hotel terraces as in the Palais. The major brands set up their own spaces along La Croisette, and appointments run from breakfast through to the evening events.
It is on these busy days that a private chauffeur really proves his worth: he knows the access points, drops you as close as possible and waits for you after each appointment.
On site
Where does Cannes Lions take place?
Cannes Lions spreads well beyond the Palais. Here are the places where our chauffeurs are most often expected.
The hotels on La Croisette
The Carlton, the Martinez, the Majestic and the other grand addresses host meetings, breakfasts and receptions. Give us the name of the hotel and the recommended entrance: each property has its own arrival instructions.
The beaches and brand spaces
Along La Croisette, the private beaches host the spaces of the sector’s major companies. Give us the name of the beach or space and the time of your appointment: your chauffeur knows the drop-off points.
Getting around
Your journeys during Cannes Lions
From the first flight to the last appointment, here are the journeys we handle most often during Cannes Lions.
Arrival at Nice Airport
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name, then drives you to your hotel in Cannes. For a team arriving on several flights, we arrange the pickups one by one.
Between your accommodation and the event
Many participants stay outside Cannes, in Antibes, Mandelieu, Mougins or Nice. A transfer morning and evening means you do not depend on public transport during Cannes Lions.
Evenings and departure
For a dinner in Mougins, Antibes or Cap d’Antibes, your chauffeur drives you there and back, whatever the time. On the last day, book your slot to the airport in advance: demand is very high.
Every schedule is different. Send us yours, even if incomplete: we will tell you what can be booked ride by ride and what deserves a chauffeur at your disposal.
Prepare your business trip
Your appointments set the pace
For guests on different flights, match each passenger with their flight, hotel and contact. Include meetings away from the Palais and collections after evening events.
Whether flying from Paris or another city, your air journey ends at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport. Share your flight number, terminal and full hotel address. Meet & greet with a name sign and flight tracking support your private transfer to the agreed destination.
Plan the airport return too: flight time, pickup address and time for airport procedures. During an event, traffic and venue access may change; forward the latest instructions you receive.
Services for your team
Transport built around your itinerary
Airport & hotel transfers

The V-Class seats up to seven passengers, subject to luggage. For separate arrivals or a larger party, request several vehicles with a clear passenger list.
Our commitments
Why book a chauffeur for Cannes Lions
During Cannes Lions, Cannes moves to a different rhythm: heavy traffic, restricted access, vehicles in high demand. Here is what a chauffeur booked in advance brings you.
A price known before you leave
Each transfer has a price fixed when you book; each chauffeur-at-disposal request is quoted. You control your budget, with no surprise at the end of your stay.
Your flight tracked in real time
We track your plane and adjust the pickup to your actual arrival. At Nice Airport, waiting is included for up to one hour after landing.
Chauffeurs who know the access points
French and English speaking, they know where to drop off and where to wait when streets are restricted, and adapt the route to the traffic.
A chauffeur at your disposal
For a day of meetings, the same chauffeur stays with you: he waits after each appointment, early in the morning or late at night.

Our experience
Our tips for Cannes Lions
A few habits that really make the stay easier.
Book as soon as your dates are set
Chauffeur-driven vehicles are in high demand during Cannes Lions, especially on the first and last days. The earlier you plan, the wider the choice.
Bring your team together
A V-Class carries up to seven people. For a team sharing the same hotel and the same diary, it is often the simplest solution.
Send us your schedule
With the list of your appointments, we can offer a chauffeur at your disposal for the day: a single chauffeur who adapts when a meeting overruns.
One last tip: during Cannes Lions, evenings finish late and cars are scarce. Book your return at the same time as your outward journey.
