Cannes-Mandelieu Airport LFMD / CEQ
France's second-busiest business airport, minutes from La Croisette and the Cannes marinas. A 22-tonne weight cap, daytime-only hours and an anti-noise curfew mean heavy jets divert to Nice, 30 km away. Extremely busy during the Film Festival, MIPIM and the Cannes Yachting Festival, when parking is pre-booked and limited.
