Need to get around after dark? We know it can often be difficult to book transport in areas outside of Cannes during the Festival, especially late in the evening.

So, we’ve introduced a complimentary night bus service that will operate every evening of the Festival (Monday to Friday), every 45 minutes from 10pm until 2am. The bus will depart from Prom. de la Pantiero and serve Juan Le Pins, Mondelieu and Le Cannet, and run exclusively for Cannes Lions delegates.

For more information, please visit our Getting Around Cannes page.

There are medics and trained first-aiders on hand in the Palais and at the Cannes Lions Beach during the Closing Party. There’s a number of local pharmacists and doctors in Cannes, and the Cannes General Hospital has an after-hours and weekends GP service. Remember to carry your health card if you’re an EU resident, or medical insurance details if you’re an international visitor.

In the event of a serious incident or emergency, please call 112. Trained operators will either deal with your request directly or transfer you to the appropriate emergency service.

If someone looks unwell or seems in need of assistance and you’re concerned for their safety, explain your concern to a member of staff and ask that they help the person get home safely.

• Inside the Palais: We have medics and security staff on site to assist.
• Inside a hotel, bar, beach or yacht: Speak to a member of staff.
• In a public place: Call the police on 112.

If someone is extremely unwell and incapable of walking or standing, call an ambulance immediately on 112.

If you have a safety concern while at the Festival or one of the fringe events, please contact a member of staff at the venue or let us know at feedback@canneslions.com.
