Palace of Festivals and Congresses of Cannes

Great experience at Palais des Festivals et des Congrès while attending World AI Cannes Festival. The venue is modern, well organized, and perfectly located by the harbor. It’s exciting to be in such an iconic place. Definitely worth a visit when in Cannes!

Visit the site due to the famous Cannes Film Festival. Yet, if you have the same expectation as mine, it will somehow disappointed you… The only two places which open are the red carpet stairs and a tourist center. The former seems astonishing at first but fell short to exploring more than just a red carpet. The latter offers a great experience of the Festival, but the souvenir shop only sells the merchandise for Cannes and nothing about the festival itself… Maybe I gave it too much expectation…

Attended MIPCOM Cannes 2025 there. The location is very pleasing to the eye, situated on the beach with direct access to the beach promenade, the restaurant and bar district, and the shopping area.The event was reasonably well-structured thematically, divided into different levels, and well-attended, albeit not as opulent as in previous years.The outdoor pavilions, the so-called "Rivieras," were outstanding, however – they allowed you to get a few minutes of fresh air and soak up a little sun while commuting through the exhibition grounds.The expansive layout meant I ended the first day of the fair with over 20,000 steps on the exhibition grounds alone.

Sense but over hyped. The fabulous red carpet wasn't there during our visit and the place was undergoing regular maintenance and repair works, so was heavily covered. We also strolled the heathy shops out of curiosity and found nothing special compared to regular outlets in London

This is the Cannes red carpet, where a world-renowned film festival is held every year. If you come to Cannes, it's a must-visit attraction. There is no red carpet, but feel the celebrity vibe on the stairs painted in red.

We were on a short day trip but very interesting city, the venue was fully booked for Free shop exhibition

I was there for a conference, and wasn’t blown away. The outside looks better than inside. The views of the bay was breathtaking

Had been there during last September. The Palace of Festival & Congress was under renovation. But the atmosphere around the area is lovely. Try to reach early, say around 9 am. Getting a parking slot in the parking lot of the basement is easier if you reach that time. The crowd also is less. We were able to see a nice market set up around the Prom de La Pantiero. The marina situated in the area is also really good. There are enough eateries in the area where you get lovely croissant and pastries. If the market has been set up you can even get very fresh fruits.
