A whole apartment for a distribution team of four, during market week.
Renting an apartment in Cannes during MIPCOM
Blue View Cannes is a 40 m² one-bedroom apartment rented in its entirety for 4 people during MIPCOM. It is located in the Villa Francia residence, 33 avenue Amiral Wester Wemyss in Cannes, with a sea view balcony, a fitted kitchen, Wi-Fi and secure indoor parking.
The global audiovisual content market
MIPCOM is held every year in October at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. It is the major international market for audiovisual content: distributors, producers, broadcasters, streaming platforms and buyers negotiate the season's catalogues there.
The 2026 edition is scheduled for 12 to 15 October, and the Palais announces around 12,000 participants from more than 110 countries.
A market of timed meetings
MIPCOM runs on the diary. Days are organised into back-to-back thirty-minute slots on the stands and in the negotiation areas. Participants arrive with a schedule filled weeks in advance and hold to it from morning to night.
That rhythm has a concrete consequence: in the evening what you mainly need is quiet, somewhere to reread your notes and prepare the next day's meetings. An apartment with a table, Wi-Fi and a proper separate bedroom serves better than a cramped hotel room.
Coming as a distribution team
Distribution companies generally travel in small teams: a sales executive, an acquisitions manager, sometimes a producer. Blue View Cannes sleeps 4 people — a separate bedroom with a 140 × 190 cm double bed and a sofa bed in the living room — which lets the team stay together and share the cost during a week when rates are stretched.
MIPCOM follows shortly after TFWA: if you are attending both, mention it in your enquiry — a continuous stay is often simpler to arrange.
What helps during market week
| MIPCOM constraint | What the apartment provides |
|---|---|
| A diary of timed meetings | Wi-Fi, dining table as a workstation, Smart TV |
| Teams of 2 to 4 people | Whole apartment, separate bedroom + sofa bed, shared cost |
| Long days, late business dinners | Quiet residence in a 5-hectare park |
| Very early breakfasts | Fitted kitchen with coffee machine, kettle, microwave |
| A full week on site | Dishwasher, laundry room in the residence, iron |
| Moving between the Palais and the hotels | Secure indoor parking |
| October, a mild late season | Pool still open, sun loungers free, sea view balcony |
Good to know: in October the Villa Francia pool is still in service — it is open from April to November — and sun loungers are free outside July and August.
Reaching the Palais des Festivals
MIPCOM takes place at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès on the Cannes seafront, with associated events spread across the Croisette hotels.
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. With a diary of timed meetings, that short journey is a genuine comfort.
