Cannes FestivalOnce again the Cannes Film Festival preparations are in full swing in the South of France.

This year’s event is from May 16th to May 27th.

With the town of Cannes transforming from a seaside village into a bustling jet set location for this 10-day stretch, finding housing in the area can be difficult for the independent movie buff looking to screen the latest and greatest.

New York Habitat offers apartments and villas throughout the South of France, stretching from Montpellier in the west all the way east towards the Italian border and running along the southern Mediterranean coast.

Vacation Rental Apartments and villas available in the Cannes area:

New York Habitat is in the unique position of offering furnished accommodations throughout the world, including Paris, London, New York and the South of France. With the festival so close, finding quality villas nearby can be challenging, but New York Habitat has some unique properties to choose from if you are making the trip.

One apartment, a four-bedroom villa on the French Rivera in Cannes (PR-739), is available for 3,105 euros per week during the festival and includes a pool and gardens. The drive to Cannes is about five minutes from the villa. Another possibility in Cannes is a three-bedroom accommodation (PR-737) that sleeps six and has a terrace that over looks a garden for 5,133 euros per week.

2007 Cannes Film Festival:

The festival expects to draw crowds of over 30,000 film professionals to screenings of movies at over a dozen theaters within Cannes. Movies which are selected as top award winners from the festival are generally recognized as some of the top independent films of the year and many go on to be top cinema hits.
