Concierge for the Cannes Film Festival La Croisette, villas, yachts and evenings: your month of May prepared from the autumn
Every May, the Cannes Film Festival brings together film, luxury houses, talent and guests from all over the world around the Palais des Festivals. AC PRIVATE - A List concierge prepares accommodation, villa or yacht, chauffeurs, attire and tables several months ahead.
For about twelve days, La Croisette concentrates official screenings, house dinners, private parties and business meetings at the Marché du Film. The palace hotels on La Croisette and the villas in the hills of Cannes, Mougins or Cap d’Antibes are booked very early, and days are planned to the half-hour.
Accreditations and screening invitations are issued by the Festival alone. We orchestrate everything around them, for private clients, houses and brands hosting their guests, or corporate teams. The 2027 edition dates and our dedicated services are detailed on our page for that edition.
