Renting an apartment in Cannes during MIPIM

Blue View Cannes is a 40 m² one-bedroom apartment rented in its entirety for 4 people during MIPIM. It is located in the Villa Francia residence, 33 avenue Amiral Wester Wemyss in Cannes, and has a sea view balcony, a fitted kitchen, Wi-Fi and secure indoor parking.

MIPIM, a week apart in the Cannes year

MIPIM is the international market for property professionals. It is held every year at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, usually in March, and brings together developers, investors, cities and regions, architects and advisers from around the world.

What makes it distinctive is its format: MIPIM is a show where far more time is spent around the Palais than inside it. Meetings follow one another on the stands, in the city pavilions, on the yachts in the Vieux Port, in the Croisette hotels and over dinners that run late.

That has a direct consequence for accommodation: what you need is not just a bed, but a quiet place to fall back on between two very dense days — and somewhere you can host a partner to prepare for a meeting.

Delegations, a common case

People rarely do MIPIM alone. Agencies, firms and public bodies travel in teams of two to four. Sharing a whole apartment rather than booking several hotel rooms makes a clear difference to the overall budget of the trip — and lets you regroup in the morning to plan the day.

Blue View Cannes sleeps 4 people: a separate bedroom with a 140 × 190 cm double bed, and a sofa bed in the living room.

Note for a stay in March: the Villa Francia pool is open from April to November, so it is not in service during MIPIM. The 5-hectare park, the solarium and its chairs, the tennis courts and the parking all remain available.

Getting to the Palais des Festivals from the apartment

MIPIM takes place at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès on the Cannes seafront, with satellite events spread across the town and around the Vieux Port.

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 MIPIM, allow extra time: Cannes traffic slows markedly and parking around the Palais becomes difficult.

Questions about a MIPIM stay

When does MIPIM take place?

MIPIM is usually held in March, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. Exact dates change every year: check the official MIPIM website before booking your stay.

How many people can stay in the apartment?

Up to 4 people: a 140 × 190 cm double bed in the separate bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. Occupancy is limited to the guests named on the booking.

Is the pool open during MIPIM?

No. The Villa Francia pool is open from April to November, and MIPIM is held in March. The park, the solarium, the tennis courts and the parking remain available.

Can I park during the show?

Yes. The residence has secure indoor parking, which is a real advantage during a week when parking in Cannes is saturated.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as possible. During MIPIM, demand for accommodation in Cannes far exceeds supply and availability goes months before the event. Check now on the Airbnb calendar.

Are your MIPIM dates still free?

Enter the show dates on the Airbnb calendar: availability and the price appear immediately.
