A whole apartment for an agency team of four, during Cannes Lions week.
Renting an apartment during Cannes Lions
Blue View Cannes is a 40 m² one-bedroom apartment rented in its entirety for 4 people during Cannes Lions. It is located in the Villa Francia residence, 33 avenue Amiral Wester Wemyss in Cannes, with a sea view balcony, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and secure indoor parking.
A festival that spills far beyond the Palais
Cannes Lions, the international festival of creativity, is usually held in June at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. It brings together agencies, advertisers, media owners, platforms and production studios from all over the world.
From an accommodation point of view, its distinctive feature is how dispersed it is. The talks happen at the Palais, but most of the activity takes place elsewhere: in the beach clubs set up along the Croisette, in privatised villas, on rooftops and at parties that run very late.
Teams, not individuals
Unlike a medical or industrial congress, Cannes Lions is experienced as a team. Agencies send groups of creatives, sales people and executives, often for five full days. Staying together rather than in scattered hotels simplifies the daily logistics — and gives you somewhere to regroup and debrief.
Blue View Cannes sleeps 4 people: a separate bedroom with a 140 × 190 cm double bed and a sofa bed in the living room. The dining table easily becomes the place where tomorrow's schedule gets settled.
Recovering, the real challenge
A week of Cannes Lions is intense: talks during the day, continuous networking, late nights. Coming back to a 5-hectare park, in peace, with a balcony facing the sea, makes a real difference to your ability to last until Friday.
In June the residence pool is open, with free access. An hour by the water in the late morning is often worth more than one more session.

Reaching the Palais and the Croisette
Cannes Lions is concentrated at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès and along the Croisette, where brand spaces and private beaches are set up for the whole week.
Blue View Cannes is at 33 avenue Amiral Wester Wemyss, 06150 Cannes, 2.9 km from the Palais des Festivals, about 10 minutes by car outside heavy traffic. During Lions week the seafront is saturated: allow more time at peak hours and in the evening.
