Cannes
From the Red Carpet to the Croisette. Fly directly to the heliport and arrive star-ready for your festival or business meeting.
Cannes is 10 minutes from Nice and 12 from Monaco by helicopter, landing directly at Cannes-Mandelieu — one of Europe's busiest business-aviation airports — a short chauffeured ride from the Croisette. During the Festival de Cannes or the Yachting Festival, when the coast road grinds to a standstill and every minute of a schedule matters, arriving by air is how production teams, buyers and owners keep to time. Outside festival season it is simply the fastest way to a lunch at the Palm Beach, a private beach club, or a boat waiting in the Vieux Port.

The Croisette, the Festival, and the Riviera's busiest calendar of events — reached without the coast-road delays.
Highlights
La Croisette
The Côte d'Azur's most famous boulevard, lined with palm trees, palace hotels and private beaches, from the Palais des Festivals to the Pointe de la Croisette.
Le Suquet
The old town on the hill, with its cobbled lanes, Notre-Dame-d'Espérance church and panoramic views over the bay and the islands.
Lérins Islands
Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, a few minutes away by boat: pine forests, unspoilt coves and an abbey where monks still make their own wine. A superb view from the air.
