France and Morocco, month by month. Last checked: 24 October 2026.

How to use it: find your month, look at what else is happening (public holidays, school breaks, trade fairs, fashion weeks, religious festivals), then choose a date that does not compete with the rest. Each month has "Good time for" and "Avoid for". Every date points to a numbered source [S1], [S2]... listed at the end.

Three reading rules:

  1. Dates marked "estimated" (Eid, Islamic New Year, Mawlid) can move by a day: in Morocco they are set by moon sighting.
  2. Dates marked "to be confirmed" are not published yet. We invent none.
  3. "Our view" marks agency advice, not a sourced fact.

In Cannes, three dates follow each other and the best venues fill up at the same time: MIPIM (15 to 19 March 2027), the Cannes Film Festival (11 to 22 May 2027, 80th edition) and Cannes Lions (21 to 25 June 2027, to be reconfirmed). For a project on the coast, see our event agency in Cannes page.
