Prepare entrances, timing buffers and evening returns before the first business appointment.

Quick answer

Record every appointment address and the organiser’s instructions. A hotel meeting may use a different entrance. Check badge collection and security procedures; reaching Cannes does not mean you are ready for the meeting.

  • Separate congress access and meeting addresses
  • Choose accommodation for evenings too
  • Prepare the transport request

Separate congress access and meeting addresses

Record every appointment address and the organiser’s instructions. A hotel meeting may use a different entrance. Check badge collection and security procedures; reaching Cannes does not mean you are ready for the meeting.

Choose accommodation for evenings too

Compare routes to appointments and back after dinner. Check actual addresses, arrival arrangements and temporary access instructions. Straight-line distance is not enough to plan an event stay.

Prepare the transport request

For arrival from Nice or several coastal meetings, request a chauffeur in Cannes (commercial link) from Chauffeur Parisien. Provide flights, addresses and times, distinguishing transfers from time at disposal. Accreditation and event entry are not automatically included.

Share a short programme

Give participants one clear place, time and contact per meeting. Separate return groups where programmes differ and name someone to approve changes. A calendar invitation does not itself change a transport booking.
