Annually in February, in the Palais des Festivals, over 170,000 enthusiasts come together for the three day Games Festival.
There are exhibitions of well-loved classic games plus newly developed cutting-edge games, board games and simulations. This is a fun way to spend a day of exploration and adventure into different worlds. Whether you go alone, with friends or family, you will be welcome in the circle of great champions. No need to be a hardcore gamer, even if you're a casual player, embark on a great experience where young and old alike can share the fun.
From traditional games to video games, the wealth of activities available to you in a space nearly 30,000m² right in the heart of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.
Every year, Cannes awards the label for best game of the year chosen from the new French market: based on creativity, diversity, mechanisms and rules. Plus, you can meet the authors, illustrators and publishers of your favourite games around demonstrations, signings and tournaments. This festival offers many surprises.
