The 2026 Cannes Film Festival (5.12 through 5.23) is only four and a half months away, which means I’ll need to lock down an affordable crash pad by January or February, early March at the latest.
I’ve been looking around, and rental-wise Cannes is once again a miserable proposition. Within last year’s price range (2200 or 2300 euros for ten days) the available places are either the size of broom closets or located too far away from the Palais, or both. One humiliating shit-level rental after another. There’s a notion of possibly bunking at that horrible little studio Jordan and I shared last May…ugghh!
If you want to stay at some half-decent Cannes apartment during the festival, you need to be able to shell out 3500 or 4000 Euros for 10 days. The greed factor makes me sick. Venice rentals are so much more humane.
