The curtains will be raised on the Cannes Film festival in just a few days, with a bumper program of world premieres being shown over a 12-day period.
If you are scheduled to attend one of the screenings, you might enjoy reading what’s what before descending on the A-list rammed resort. During the festival, a calm seaside town of Cannes turns into a buzzing entertainment hub, with lots of visitors pouring in. To avoid traffic and any hold-ups and to make sure you arrive on time for your screening, opt for a helicopter transfer to the center of Cannes: it takes just nine minutes to get to Cannes by helicopter from Nice Cote d’Azur airport, and a further seven minutes from Monaco.
