On the Riviera
and beyond.

Three ideas
for the Riviera.

Ideas we would love to produce on the coast. Each one is feasible, on quote.

01

… for swimwear, we would stage the collection on the deck of a boat at anchor.

The audience watches from a second boat, facing the Lérins islands. Sunset cocktail, after-party on board.

Feasible: tender shuttle, marine weather, real capacity, a plan B on land.

02

… for a fragrance, we would project a short film on the façade of a villa in California.

A seated dinner facing the screen, a private screening, the fragrance arrives with dessert. A film projector rather than a photocall.

Feasible: winding access, caterer capacity and technical set-up to plan ahead, sound curfews to check with the neighbours.

03

… for skincare, we would hold the press dinner on a rooftop terrace in Le Suquet.

Tables dressed in vegetables, a view over the harbour, golden end-of-day light: the real South rather than the glitz of the Croisette.

Feasible: goods lift and access to check on site, the site visit is included in the quote.

Palaces, beaches, villas, yachts:
Cannes without the crowds.

Everyone knows Cannes eleven days a year. We know the other 354.

The venues of Cannes and the coast

Palais des Festivals and the Croisette

  • Palais des Festivals: conventions, tech launches, award ceremonies; 300 to 3,000 guests, 35,000 m² of modular space.
  • Private beaches on the Croisette, five minutes on foot: plenary in the morning, lunch with your feet in the sand, an evening under the stars.

Private beaches

  • Plage Bijou: 500 guests, privatised from 7.30 pm to 2 am, security and lifeguard included.
  • Vilebrequin La Plage: up to 500 guests for a cocktail.
  • Other addresses we looked at: Playa Chica, White House.

Villas

  • Villa Keys: 250 guests for a cocktail, rental only without technical set-up, the venue’s partner caterers.
  • The hills: infinity pools, hanging terraces, 180° panoramas over the bay and the Lérins islands.
  • Demanding logistics: winding access, caterer capacity to plan ahead, precise set-up.

Yachts and the sea

  • From 20 to 150 guests depending on the boat.
  • Sunset cocktail, dinner at anchor off the Lérins islands, after-party on the upper deck.
  • Everything is decided beforehand: tender shuttle, marine weather, real capacity, caterer on board, a plan B on land.

And beyond

Capacities and times come from quotes we received; reconfirm for each date.

The method

A site visit, a plan B,
a dedicated project manager.

01

The brief

We listen: dates (Festival, trade shows or off-season), guest count, mood, constraints (confidentiality, accessibility, alcohol-free version). We check your date against the trade-show calendar before we talk venue.

02

The proposal

Two or three venues (villa, beach, boat, Palais), a concept, an itemised budget. The site visit is included in the quote.

03

Production

Partners on the coast, caterer, technical, security, permits. A run of show to the minute, a weather plan B, one WhatsApp group for all teams.

04

The day and the debrief

Our team is on site from set-up to dismantling, in the background but at your side. Then a debrief with figures: attendance, impact, photos and videos.

Frequently asked questions
about our Cannes event agency

Yes. The 2027 Cannes Film Festival runs from 11 to 22 May 2027 (80th edition). Venues are booked 4 to 6 months ahead: for these dates, the window is opening now. Brand dinner, press evening, after-party: we propose two or three venues, with a reply within 24 hours.
The 2027 Cannes Film Festival runs from 11 to 22 May 2027 (80th edition). Venues are booked 4 to 6 months ahead, which means between mid-November 2026 and mid-January 2027: the window is open. Write to us with a date, a guest count and the mood you want: we reply within 24 hours with two or three venues.
A brand dinner in a hillside villa (up to 250 guests for a cocktail in one of those we looked at), a press evening or an after-party, an evening on a private beach (up to 500 guests depending on the beach), a cocktail or dinner on a yacht (20 to 150 guests), an activation in old Cannes (50 to 300 guests). Capacities come from quotes we received; reconfirm for each date.
Depending on the venue: a permit from the City of Cannes for use of public land, beaches included; a SACEM declaration for music; a safety file if a structure admits the public (tent, stage). For a beach run by a concessionaire, the process may go through them first. We prepare these steps with the venue and check sound curfews.
The Évin law governs alcohol advertising: objective information, with alcohol neither the hero of the event nor a driver of partying or seduction. We build the concept around the venue and the idea, provide an alcohol-free version of each drink, and display "L'abus d'alcool est dangereux pour la santé, à consommer avec modération" (Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health; drink responsibly).
Same rules: the best venues fill up at the same time. MIPIM is announced for 15 to 19 March 2027 and Cannes Lions for 21 to 25 June 2027, at the Palais des Festivals. We cross-check your date with this calendar before proposing a venue.
Yes: villas in the hills of La Californie and Super Cannes, private beaches on the Croisette. Capacities, privatisation hours, mandatory suppliers and access are checked before any proposal. Example taken from a quote: a private beach available from 7.30 pm to 2 am, with suppliers admitted from 4 pm.
Yes, for 20 to 150 guests depending on the boat: sunset cocktail, dinner at anchor off the Lérins Islands. Everything is decided upstream: tender shuttle, marine weather, real guest count, on-board catering and a plan B on land.
Yes: the other 354 days, the Croisette becomes a playground for brands again, with more venues to choose from and more privacy. Villas, beaches, boats and the terraces of Le Suquet work all year round.
Yes. The Palais des Festivals hosts a plenary of 2,000 people, then it is five minutes on foot to a private beach for the evening. Hotel, transfers, programme, closing party: a dedicated team.
We reply within 24 hours; a dinner can be produced in 72 hours, ideally allow 2 to 3 months for a party and 4 to 6 months for a retreat abroad. For the Cannes Film Festival, venues should be booked 4 to 6 months ahead.
The budget depends on the period (the Festival is the most expensive), the venue and the number of guests. We do not publish standard prices: we reply within 24 hours with an itemised, line-by-line quote.
The agency is based in Paris (11 rue Joubert, 75009) and present in Cannes. We work with our partners on site and travel for the site visits, which are included in the quote. From a dinner for 10 to a show for several thousand guests, a dedicated team follows you.
