Palais des Festivals et des Congres opened its doors in 1949 to accommodate the Cannes Festival. The growing success of the event led to the construction of a new building and subsequent relocation in 1982. The second Palais has been renovated quite a few times over the years in order to remain a modern and environmentally responsible venue. Its location in the iconic sea-side resort guarantees a memorable experience, accessible from all major cities in France and Europe due to the close proximity of Cannes railway station.
The prestigious venue offers 35,000 sq metres of exhibition space, and features 5 auditoriums, 3 reception rooms and 26 break-out rooms. The three main entrances facilitate the smooth running of concurrent events.
Each year Palais des Festivals et des Congres hosts a myriad of shows, trade fairs, seminars, exhibitions, conventions and receptions. Marche du Film and the travel retail exhibition Tax Free Expo are among the upcoming highlights.
