A whole heated apartment for 4 people, during the retail property show.
Renting an apartment in Cannes during MAPIC
Blue View Cannes is a 40 m² one-bedroom apartment rented in its entirety for 4 people during MAPIC. It is located in the Villa Francia residence, 33 avenue Amiral Wester Wemyss in Cannes, with heating, a fitted kitchen, Wi-Fi and secure indoor parking.
The retail property show
MAPIC is held every year in November at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. It brings together the players in retail property: property companies, retail brands, shopping centres, retail parks, developers and local authorities.
It is in a sense the autumn counterpart to MIPIM, oriented towards retail rather than office property. You find the same pattern of intensive business meetings, national stands and networking evenings.
Cannes in November: a different context
This is the main difference from the other major Cannes shows. In November the tourist season has long finished. The town is quiet, the days are short, and the weather can be cool and damp.
In practice, for a stay, that means spending far more time indoors. The apartment's heating then matters a great deal, as does being able to cook a hot meal rather than heading back out to dinner in the rain.
You should also know that the residence pool closes at the end of November: it is open from April to November. Depending on the dates of the edition, it may or may not still be in service.
Retail brand delegations
MAPIC attracts expansion teams, development directors and consultants, often in groups of two to four. Blue View Cannes sleeps 4 people: a separate bedroom with a 140 × 190 cm double bed and a sofa bed in the living room. Over three or four nights, the cost per person becomes distinctly better than a hotel room each.

Reaching the Palais des Festivals
MAPIC takes place at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, on the seafront.
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. In November Cannes traffic flows far better than in high season, so that journey time is generally reliable.
