COMPLYING WITH SANITARY MEASURES

Ensuring health and safety for our participants is a key priority for the Festival de Cannes and the Marché du Film. We are working closely with the government and local authorities to take all necessary measures to keep you safe.

The Palais des Festivals is an international example to be followed in terms of health and safety. It was France’s very first congress centre to be awarded the GBAC STARTM Facility label, North America’s leading certification issued by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council. It has also been awarded the Ecovid label, and the SOCOTEC’s health and safety label.

We are further bolstering our health and safety measures with the following provisions:

Masks recommended for all inside the Palais
– Extra cleaning and disinfecting of spaces
Air continuously renewed via air-conditioning
CO² sensors scattered throughout the Palais’ various spaces
Dedicated medical team on hand inside the Palais. If needed, you can contact them at: +33(0)4 92 99 84 04
Medical office offering remote medical appointments in under an hour (free of charge): see Concilio website (T: +33 (0)1 86 76 14 06)

To ensure your time at the festival is as enjoyable as possible, please take the time to carefully read through the current rules and guidelines for entering France depending on your country of origin.

FAQ

Accommodation in Cannes

✔ Accommodations & Fraud

There are a number of lodging possibilities in Cannes in close proximity to the Marché. You can find and consult a list of hotels at the Cannes Tourism Office.

For apartments, please contact our official partner Immosol, who offers apartments with hotel services within your budget.

Beware of fraudulent accommodation providers.

Marché participants have reported falling victim to fraudulent accommodation providers presenting themselves under such names as: Allen & Stratton Events, Eventive Group, Expos-International, Universal Event Solutions Limited, Premier Destinations, Cannes Events, Euro-Events, European Convention Bureau (ECB), Global Living Group, The Ultimate Living Group, Riviera Network, Business Travel International, Expo Travel Group, Universal Shows, Gold Exhibition, Riviera Network, Capital Exhibitions, Krystel Karam International, Star Eventz, Splendor, Concierge Plus Group, ITC Today, Originata Event, Riviera Luxury Limousines (this is not an exhaustive list).

If you receive requests or notifications from any of the aforementioned, please be extremely careful. For all of your lodging reservations, we strongly recommend that you book with one of our partners to avoid fraud.

How do the frauds work?

  • A fraudulent venture repetitively emails the participants with offers (apartment, hotel, room, transportation… )
  • Their website and/or emails mention the Marché du Film name and logo, creating what looks like a trustworthy environment.
  • They promote attractive deals with local providers.
  • Once payment has been received, the ‘company’ generally disappears and can no longer be contacted by phone or email.

🔔 Reporting fraud: if you suspect any fraudulent activity, please let us know.
