Ground Transport for
Cannes Lions
Cannes Lions brings 12,000+ brand marketers, agency leaders, and media and tech executives to the Palais des Festivals for the world's leading festival of creativity. We handle every transfer — Nice Airport, Croisette hotels, yacht parties — with the discretion and punctuality the week demands.
About Cannes Lions
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is the global advertising and marketing industry's most important week. The 2026 edition runs June 22-26 at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, drawing CMOs, agency leaders, creative directors, and media and tech executives from brands and agencies worldwide. Awards, talks, and networking define the official program.
But on the Côte d'Azur the deals happen off the schedule — at beachfront activations along the Croisette, yacht receptions in the Vieux Port, and villa dinners in Cap d'Antibes and Mougins. Cannes during the festival is gridlocked, parking is scarce, and the best events run late. Coordinating reliable, on-time movement between the Palais, hotels, and scattered evening venues is exactly where ground transport earns its place.

Services for conference travelers
Airport transfers
Meet-and-greet at arrivals with a name board, flight tracking for delays, and luxury sedans or vans waiting at the curb. Door-to-door from the airport to your hotel or directly to the conference venue.
Hourly chauffeur
A dedicated driver and vehicle at your disposal for the entire conference day. Move between the venue, client dinners, hotel meetings, and networking events without waiting for a ride.
Inter-city transfers
Attending back-to-back events in different cities? We provide comfortable, chauffeured inter-city transport so you can work or rest during the drive instead of dealing with train stations or domestic flights.
Group transport
Coordinated logistics for delegations of 5 to 150+ people. Multiple vehicles dispatched to match different arrival times, daily shuttle schedules, and synchronized departure transfers.
Nice Airport arrivals
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) to your Cannes hotel — a 30 km coastal run along the A8. Meet-and-greet at arrivals, flight tracking, and luggage assistance. We also cover private-jet arrivals at Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ) and helicopter transfers from Nice.
Hotel to the Palais
Daily transfers between Croisette hotels — the Carlton, Martinez, Majestic, and JW Marriott — and the Palais des Festivals. We plan around festival-week gridlock and Croisette road closures so you reach your sessions and meetings on time.
Yacht parties & evening events
Evening transfers to beach activations, yacht receptions in the Vieux Port, and villa dinners in Cap d'Antibes, Mougins, and Antibes. Your driver waits on call so late-running parties never leave you stranded when taxis vanish at peak hours.
Departure & onward travel
Transfers back to Nice Airport timed to your flight, or onward along the coast to Monaco, Saint-Tropez, and Antibes for meetings and stays beyond the festival.
