_This stunning apartment has a front row seat to Cannes Film Festival's red carpet

Guide price: €2,430,000

Located on the famous Boulevard de la Croisette which plays host to the annual Cannes Film Festival, this 3 bedroom apartment offers a front row seat to all the action at this year’s event, which takes place May 16 - 27.

Cannes Film Festival is back for its 76th year, and while it has always been the showstopping centrepiece of the French Riviera, its international influence shouldn’t be underestimated. 

Expect glitz, glamour, and a raft of new and established stars walking the red carpet to unveil their latest projects at the festival. Among the films hoping to dazzle the Croisette this year are Wes Anderson's Asteroid City starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. 

The annual event always shines a spotlight on the once peaceful fishing village, but its stunning beaches, fine dining and high-end shops, including the recent opening of Dolce & Gabanna's flagship store, have secured Cannes' status as a playground for the rich and famous year-round.

This elegant apartment is one of the finest on the Cote d’Azur. With stunning sea views along the Riviera, the property was recently renovated to a high standard to offer 120 sqm of luxurious living space. As well as a generous living room, the property also benefits from 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms to host your friends and family.

Cannes is popular with international buyers looking to snap up their own slice of luxury on the Riviera, with interest often surging ahead of the film festival.

“The Cannes Film Festival is largely recognised as the jewel in the crown when it comes to the various festivals and conferences that grace the Croisette," Jack Harris, Partner at Knight Frank in the International Residential Department, said.

“During the spring and early summer, we tend to see many more enquiries as buyer’s attention draws to their own summer plans. Now is no different, with a continued strong demand from international buyers from around the world.

“Many of the best homes are rented out during the film festival, so I always advise buyers checking before booking flights so we can ensure we show them the most suitable homes."

He added: “This particular property is great as it looks out onto beaches of Cannes and one is a short stroll from the Palais des Festivals.”
