Your transport partner
for the Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival is cinema's foremost global gathering. Each year in mid-May, the city welcomes more than 40,000 accredited professionals, 4,000 journalists and over 200,000 visitors from across the world. For 12 days, the Croisette becomes the nerve centre of the film industry, and every journey becomes a logistical challenge that demands proven expertise.

Eminence Prestige places its premium fleet and elite chauffeurs at the service of production studios, distributors, communications companies, talent agents, jury members, celebrities and VIP guests. Our in-depth knowledge of Cannes during the Festival — alternative routes, official access points, secure parking, press badges — makes the difference between a seamless arrival and a catastrophic delay on the red carpet.

Red-carpet arrivals & Palais des Festivals

The red-carpet ascent is the Festival's iconic moment. Our chauffeurs are fully conversant with official vehicle accreditations, drop-off zones in front of the Palais, precise timing and coordination with your publicist. Service in a Mercedes S-Class 2026 or Range Rover Vogue LWB for an arrival commensurate with the occasion. Discreet departure arranged after the screening, with onward transfer to your hotel or after-party.

Hotels & private villas served

All 5-star Croisette palaces: Hôtel Martinez, Carlton Cannes, Hôtel Majestic Barrière, Five Seas Hotel, JW Marriott Cannes, Hôtel Barrière Le Gray d'Albion, Le Cavendish, Splendid Hôtel & Spa. Also all private villas in Californie, Super Cannes and Croix-des-Gardes, as well as the Cap d'Antibes peninsula (Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Garoupe villas) where many international delegations traditionally reside.

Multi-vehicle coordination for delegations

For international delegations, production teams and juries requiring 4 to 12 vehicles simultaneously, we deploy a dedicated 24/7 dispatcher and a centralised schedule. Real-time coordination of multiple movements (Palais, hotels, private events, dinners, after-parties), management of unforeseen circumstances, direct communication via WhatsApp with your logistics coordinator.

Airport transfers during the Festival

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) ↔ Cannes: the most sought-after journey of the Festival. Allow 45 minutes off-peak, up to 1h30 during peak arrival periods. Our chauffeurs anticipate alternative routes via the A8 motorway or the corniche according to live traffic. Meet-and-greet service in the arrivals hall with a personalised nameplate. Real-time flight tracking — a delayed flight never affects our punctuality.
