The Palais des Festivals is a massive Cannes convention centre that is home to the famous Cannes Film Festival. The aptly named venue is, in many regards, a royal place for festivals and conferences and boasts a capacity of 35,000 square metres with 18 auditoriums and abundant other spaces.
Such adequate capacity allows the venue to host the International Film Market for those in the film profession, as well as the delightful Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. A visitor’s enjoyment of this exhibition arena is not limited to the conventions hosted within, as the building itself is an architectural wonder that pleases the eyes.

What else is good to know about Palais des Festivals in Cannes?
Palais des Festivals is more than just a convention centre. Travellers to Cannes are almost guaranteed to find a source of entertainment throughout the year, whether that is an artistic appreciation of the dark-blue glass panels that resemble a deep ocean excursion or the year-round digital television studio, the Hi5 Studio.
For a few euros, you can take a guided tour of the palace that lasts a total of 1 hour. While the building itself is accessible, the tour takes you through the whole building, and there are many steps along the way. The guided tour is open to groups of 5 or more.
