MIPCOM · Central Cannes
Staying in Cannes for MIPCOM
MIPCOM fills the Palais for four days each October and the town with it. October in Cannes is still warm enough to eat outside and quiet enough that you can get a table, which makes it one of the easier market weeks to be here. The apartment is a short walk from the Palais and from the restaurants people actually book for market dinners, most of which are inland from the Croisette rather than on it.
When it happens
Every October, at the Palais des Festivals. The 2026 edition ran 12 to 15 October.
Why here
- Short walk to the Palais des Festivals.
- Two en-suite bedrooms and a terrace, for a team of two travelling together.
- October is quiet and warm, so the guide is worth using while you are here.
- Direct booking with no agency commission.

No. MIPTV moved to London and its last Cannes edition was in spring 2025. MIPCOM continues in Cannes each October, and Canneseries still runs at the Palais.
Where should you stay for MIPCOM?
Central Cannes, within walking distance of the Palais. October is out of peak season, so there is more choice than during the Film Festival or Cannes Lions, but market weeks still fill the town.
