Le palais des Festivals et des Congrès

It couldn’t be more conveniently located! Le Palais des Festivals et des Congrès is located at the start of the famous Croisette in Cannes, on the shores of the Mediterranean, in the heart of the city. The white, glass-roofed building is easy to access for event organizers and the general public alike. Everything is close at hand. A real luxury.

The car park is located directly beneath the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès and has 924 spaces spread over 3 levels, including 15 spaces reserved for disabled people and 49 semi-rapid recharging points for electric vehicles. A new pay-as-you-go service of 13 self-service electric bicycles has been set up on level -2 of the Palais car park, operated by a local company called Mobicity. A ‘find my car’ guidance system has also been introduced

Carpooling to le Palais?

If you have to come by road, le Palais des Festivals encourages you to carpool. For example by using the BlaBlaCar or BlaBlaCar Bus platforms.

Cannes is linked to all major European cities by the autoroute A8 “La Provençale”

  • exit n°43 Cannes La Bocca or exit Mougins/Cannes coming from Aix-en-Provence to the west and Italy to the east
  • exit n°42 Grasse / Cannes-centre – Le Cannet / Mougins. In this case, take the direction Cannes-Centre / Le Cannet as far as le Palais des Festivals.

Some examples of mileage distances: Paris 950 km – Milan 320 km – Geneva 630 km – Barcelona 670 km – Rome 710 km – Munich 810 km – Brussels 1220 km – Amsterdam 1400 km.

You can also take the opportunity to test the route Napoléon (N85) from Golfe-Juan (it’s next to Cannes) to Grenoble. This route retraces the Emperor’s historic journey on his return from the Île d’Elbe in 1815.

The access by the seaside is also very easy via the D6098 to le Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.
