The Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix in early June, the Monaco Yacht Show in September: three events when the Riviera draws the world’s great fortunes. AC PRIVATE — A List concierge explains how a family office delegates the complete logistics of a stay, from landing in Nice to the final dinner.
Riviera · May, June & September 2027 · Family offices
On the French Riviera, three events shape the calendar of leading families: the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Monaco Yacht Show. They are moments of relationships as much as spectacle — and the times when a family office prefers to entrust the entire stay to a single point of contact.
Key dates for 2027
- Cannes Film Festival: 80th edition, 11 to 22 May 2027, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.
- Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix: 3 to 6 June 2027 — not in May as in previous years. For its 84th edition, the Monaco race hosts the sprint format for the first time.
- Monaco Yacht Show: 22 to 25 September 2027, at Port Hercule.
These three weeks share the same reality: hotels and villas fully booked months ahead, saturated heliports, filtered access. There is no room for improvisation.
Why a family office delegates the complete logistics
For a family, a Riviera stay during these events often brings together several generations, guests, business partners and wealth-related meetings in Monaco. The family office then expects a single point of contact able to coordinate everything discreetly: accommodation, transfers, access, security, tables and schedule. This is precisely the role of our Monaco family office.
Cannes Film Festival: screenings, dinners and a villa in the hills
Throughout the fortnight, AC PRIVATE secures villas in the hills above Cannes or suites facing the Croisette, arranges transfers between Nice airport, the villa and the Palais, and coordinates access to the evenings and private dinners to which our clients are invited. We work with our Cannes concierge and our hotel and palace reservations service.

Request a confidential consultationMonaco Grand Prix: balcony, terrace or yacht
Watching the race from a private balcony on the circuit, a hotel terrace or the deck of a yacht moored in Port Hercule: every vantage point is prepared well in advance. We arrange accommodation, passes, helicopter transfers from Nice and coordination with our private security team. For a longer stay, our Monaco concierge takes over all year round.
Monaco Yacht Show: private visits and acquisition projects
Every September, the Monaco Yacht Show gathers the world’s finest superyachts. For a family considering a purchase, a charter or simply a discovery, we arrange on-board visits, meetings with shipyards and brokers, and accommodation during the show. See our Monaco Yacht Show concierge page and our private yachting service.
What AC PRIVATE orchestrates, end to end
- Arrival: private flights to Nice Côte d’Azur, then helicopter or chauffeur transfer — see our private aviation.
- Accommodation: staffed villas, palace suites, a berth or a yacht in port.
- Access: coordination of invitations, passes and tables, never promising what depends on the organisers.
- Security: close protection, route reconnaissance and discreet management of movements.
- Family schedule: dinners, activities for children, meetings with the family’s advisers.
The Off-Market Circle: villas and apartments that are never displayed
Many families discover the Riviera during these events before looking for a residence there. The finest villas in Cap-Ferrat, Cannes or Monaco are often never published: they are presented under a non-disclosure agreement to members of our Off-Market Circle, with property sheets visible only after approval in the client area.
