Cannes Film Festival
Mid-May· La Croisette, Cannes
Film Superyacht Private jet Helicopter
Why the circuit stops here
Twelve days when film, fashion and finance share one seafront. The Palme is decided in the Palais; everything else (yacht dinners, amfAR, brand empires) is decided offshore.
The money signal
Charter yachts off the Croisette run €500k+ for the fortnight; amfAR tables clear $100k.
Who's there
Studio owners, streaming billionaires, luxury-brand patrons, yacht-row regulars.
How they arrive
- The harbour is the venue: berths book out months ahead and the best parties happen on deck, not on shore.
- Private aviation is the default: expect FBO slots and hotel helipads to be the real constraint, not tickets.
- Short-hop helicopter transfers beat the road traffic. This stop is built around its helipads.
