For the 77th Cannes Film Festival, taking place from May 14-25, 2024, Air France has introduced a unique offering by launching its very own beach venue on the iconic Croisette in Cannes. This strategic move coincides with the airline's 44th year as a proud partner and the official carrier of the festival.

Adjacent to the prestigious Hôtel Martinez, the Air France beach features not just a bar but a restaurant with a menu curated by Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert. This gastronomic adventure is designed to highlight the exquisite French dining experience that Air France embodies, further enhancing the festival's luxurious appeal. Visitors can unwind on sunbeds in this exclusive section of the beach, adding a layer of relaxation to the cinematic extravaganza.

The design and aesthetics of the Air France beach are deeply influenced by French elegance, mirroring the chic "beach" collection sold on Air France Shopping. This online retail platform offers a variety of travel accessories and luggage, emphasizing the airline's commitment to sophisticated travel experiences.

The introduction of this beach venue is a strategic expansion of the Air France brand into new realms of luxury lifestyle and leisure, providing festival-goers and general public alike a taste of French hospitality outside the confines of air travel. It not only enhances the Cannes experience but also broadens the airline's engagement with a diverse international audience gathered for the film festival.

Adding to the festival's allure, Air France is running two special flights on May 13 and 27 from Los Angeles to Nice, catering to the significant demand from American West Coast patrons who wish to indulge in the festivities and the French Riviera's charm, as well as the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. These flights, equipped with the airline's latest Airbus A350 cabins, underscore Air France's dedication to offering premium travel solutions during key cultural events.

In its essence, Air France's involvement with cinema goes beyond mere transportation. Since its first in-flight movie in 1951, the airline has integrated cinema into its core, with ongoing in-flight entertainment options featuring an extensive collection of French and award-winning films. This tradition continues to enhance the travel experience for its patrons, making Air France not just a carrier but a curator of culture and luxury.
