Discover the most popular sectors for their proximity and the most suitable accommodations for seasonal rental during the Cannes Festival.
La Croisette: the most glamorous area
On this mythical boulevard, the epicenter of festival life, rental apartments are the most sought-after for their exceptional location and their unobstructed view of the steps of the Palais or of one of the most beautiful panoramas of the French Riviera, the bay of Cannes and the Esterel massif on the horizon.
From the First Croisette, the closest residence to the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, to apartments with terraces near the palaces, beaches and luxury boutiques, renting one of these prestigious properties is the promise of not missing out on the Film Festival.
La Banane: an unmissibale district for vacation rentals
This area of the city center called La Banane because of its banana shape between the Croisette, the Palais des Festivals and the rue d'Antibes, is an ideal location to spend a short stay in Cannes during a convention. The furnished apartments in the streets adjacent to the Croisette, allow access to all amenities, beaches and festival life in a few minutes on foot.
The old port district: the most authentic
In a green setting, at the foot of the Suquet, the Old Port, where yachts and dinghies rub shoulders on the Quai Saint-Pierre and along the Pantiero promenade, is a friendly neighborhood. A stone's throw from the Palais des Festivals, much appreciated by vacationers for its idyllic waterfront, this area allows access in a few minutes to the shuttles for the crossing to the Lérins Islands and offers luxury accommodations.
