The Cannes Film Festival in VIP: a fully orchestrated stay on the Croisette

The ascent of the 24 steps and the gala screenings in the Grand Théâtre Lumière (around 2,300 seats) form the ceremonial heart of the festival. Official invitations are nominative and non-transferable: they cannot be bought. TGZ works exclusively through legitimate private channels — partners, fashion houses, production companies, brands — to open a gala seat where possible, subject to availability and eligibility, and never on a firm promise. Evening dress is required after dark — black tie or a gown — and our styling service takes care of it down to the final fitting.

During the festival, the bay of Cannes becomes an address in its own right. We charter your yacht at the Vieux Port or Port Canto, or at anchor facing the Croisette — berths are in extreme demand and are reserved far in advance. On board: full crew, private chef, tenders reaching the Palais in minutes, receptions and dinners for your guests. As an indication, allow from €15,000 to €80,000+ per day depending on size, and from €100,000 to over €1M for the week, on quotation.

We reserve your suite in the palace hotels of the Croisette — Carlton Cannes, Hôtel Martinez, Le Majestic or JW Marriott, cited for illustration — or at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. For greater privacy, a fully staffed villa in Super-Cannes, La Californie, Cap d'Antibes or Mougins. During the festival, allow as an indication from €3,000 to €25,000+ per night for a suite (minimum stays are common) and from €40,000 to €300,000+ per week for a villa, on quotation. Our guide Where to stay during the Cannes Film Festival compares every option.

Cannes nights unfold by invitation: dinners hosted by fashion houses and brands, production parties on the private beaches and in the hillside villas, and the great charity evenings — such as the amfAR gala at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where access runs through tables and donations in five or six figures, subject to eligibility. We approach our partners to introduce you where possible, subject to availability, and compose your own receptions in parallel: dinner aboard your yacht, a table at La Palme d'Or or the privatisation of a Croisette beach.

For twelve days the Croisette is partially closed and saturated: every journey needs planning. We orchestrate it all — private jet via Nice Côte d'Azur (around 27 km away, 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic, longer during the festival) or Cannes-Mandelieu for smaller aircraft, the Nice–Cannes helicopter link in around ten minutes (approximately €500 to €900 per person), a dedicated chauffeur (approximately €900 to €1,800 per day), discreet close protection and personal styling with fittings in your suite. Indicative rates, on quotation, with timings set to your programme.
