Short-Term Rental in Cannes – Luxury Apartments for Business and Leisure Stays
Why Cannes Demands a Different Approach to Short-Term Rental
Cannes is not a typical destination for short-term rental. It is one of the most in-demand cities on the French Riviera — not only during summer, but throughout the year, driven by a congress calendar that fills the city with professionals from across the world. MIPIM in March, the Film Festival in May, Cannes Lions in June, the Yachting Festival in September, TFWA and MIPCOM in autumn, MAPIC and ILTM in December: each event concentrates exceptional demand into a compact city where quality accommodation is genuinely scarce.
A short-term rental in Cannes means something different depending on when you arrive and why. For congress delegates, it means a well-located professional base within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals — a private space that functions as both accommodation and operational headquarters. For leisure guests, it means access to the French Riviera lifestyle at its finest: a furnished apartment on or near the Croisette, with the freedom and privacy that hotels cannot provide.
Caron Properties & Travels has been managing short-term rentals in Cannes since 2016, serving both business and leisure clients with a curated portfolio of luxury apartments selected for their location, quality and suitability for short stays.
Our Short-Term Rental Portfolio – Location, Quality, and the Right Fit
All Caron Properties short-term rentals are located in the most sought-after areas of Cannes: on the Boulevard de la Croisette, in the streets immediately behind the Palais des Festivals, and in the premium residential areas of La Californie and the Carré d'Or. Every property in our portfolio has been personally selected and inspected by our team.
Our apartments range from well-appointed studios for individual travellers to spacious three and four-bedroom properties for families, executive teams or groups requiring both living and working space. All properties include high-speed Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchens, air conditioning, and professional cleaning before arrival. Many offer terraces, sea views, or direct Croisette access.
Short-term rentals in Cannes are available for stays of three nights and above, subject to local regulations. During congress periods, minimum stays are aligned with the event calendar. For leisure stays outside congress weeks — particularly in spring, early summer, and autumn — our portfolio offers excellent availability at rates that reflect the genuine quality of each property.
Cannes is one of the great leisure destinations of the Mediterranean. The Croisette, the old port, the beaches, the restaurants and the hills of the Estérel to the west make it a city worth visiting at any time of year — and a short-term apartment rental is the most natural way to experience it.
Unlike hotel rooms, a furnished apartment in Cannes allows you to live in the city rather than simply pass through it. You shop at the Marché Forville, prepare meals in a proper kitchen, take coffee on your own terrace with a sea view, and return from the beach to a home rather than a room. For families, this translates into space, flexibility and the kind of daily rhythm that hotel life cannot sustain.
Our leisure clients typically stay for one to three weeks, often combining Cannes with visits to Monaco, Nice, Antibes and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Cannes is exceptionally well connected: Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is 25 kilometres away, the A8 motorway provides access to the wider Côte d'Azur in minutes, and the train network along the coast is frequent and comfortable.
For leisure stays, we recommend the shoulder seasons — April to early May and September to October — which offer excellent weather, full service availability across restaurants and beach clubs, and rates that are significantly lower than peak summer without any compromise in experience.
Short-Term Rental in Cannes for Business Travellers and Congress Delegates
Business travellers represent the majority of short-term rental clients in Cannes. The city's congress calendar brings tens of thousands of executives, investors, creative professionals and industry specialists to Cannes each year — and the demand for quality accommodation within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals consistently outpaces supply during event weeks.
Our business clients choose short-term apartment rentals over hotels for three consistent reasons. First, space: a furnished apartment provides separate sleeping, working and living areas that a hotel room cannot offer, enabling productive work and genuine rest across a demanding event schedule. Second, privacy: a private apartment is a controlled environment for confidential meetings, team debriefs and client entertaining — essential for senior executives navigating competitive industry events. Third, value: for groups of two or more, a well-located apartment typically delivers better cost-per-head than equivalent hotel rooms, with the additional benefit of kitchen facilities that reduce dining expenses across a multi-day stay.
Caron Properties provides corporate invoicing as standard for all business bookings. We are experienced in working with the billing requirements of international companies, law firms, production houses, agencies and institutional clients. Our concierge service supports airport transfers, restaurant reservations, catering for in-apartment meetings and any logistical requirements during your stay.
Our short-term rental portfolio covers the full Cannes congress calendar: MIPIM, Cannes Film Festival, Cannes Lions, Yachting Festival, TFWA, MIPCOM, MAPIC and ILTM. If you are attending any of these events, contact us as early as possible — the best properties are reserved months in advance.
Short-Term Rental in Cannes for Leisure Guests and the French Riviera Experience

How to Book a Short-Term Rental in Cannes with Caron Properties
Short-term rental regulations in Cannes apply to stays under 90 days in furnished properties. Caron Properties operates fully within the applicable legal framework, with all properties correctly registered and compliant with local and national short-term rental legislation. Corporate clients receive VAT-compliant invoicing; private clients receive clear rental agreements setting out all terms before commitment.
We do not operate a real-time automated booking system. Every short-term rental is arranged through direct contact with our team, allowing us to match each client with the right property for their dates, group size, purpose and preferences. This approach takes slightly more time than clicking a booking button — and it consistently produces better outcomes for our clients.
Why Trust Caron Properties for Your Short-Term Rental in Cannes?
The short-term rental market in Cannes is crowded with platforms, aggregators and listings that make promises they cannot always keep. Caron Properties is different: we are a family-run agency based in Cannes, and we manage every property in our portfolio directly.
Direct knowledge of every property. We do not list properties we have not seen. Every apartment in our portfolio has been personally inspected, and every listing reflects the actual condition, location and character of the property.
A curated portfolio, not an aggregator. We maintain a deliberately limited selection of apartments — because quality cannot be guaranteed at scale. Every property we offer meets our standards for location, furnishing, maintenance and guest experience.
Genuine local expertise. We know Cannes. We know which buildings are within a genuine 5-minute walk of the Palais, which terraces face the sea, and which streets are quiet enough for productive work in the evening. This knowledge is not available on a booking platform.
Business-ready as standard. Corporate invoicing, flexible check-in coordination, concierge support and responsive communication are not extras. They are part of how we work with every client.
A track record built on returning clients. The clearest indicator of our service quality is that our clients come back. Many of our short-term rental guests — both business and leisure — have been booking with us for several years.
