Le Ballon Rouge

Offering childcare and family-friendly services for market & festival attendees!

Organized by the Marché du Film & The Red Balloon Alliance, Le Ballon Rouge aims to promote a healthier and more supportive work-life balance for those working in the industry and has been offering childcare services during the Festival de Cannes and other major film festivals since 2019.

Each year, Le Ballon Rouge returns to Cannes to offer the following family-friendly services:

A fully-supervised daycare center in the near vicinity of the market and providing fun activities for the kids
A convenient baby lounge inside the Palais des Festivals for our tiniest visitors
Easier and less invasive access for children and their caregivers/nannies entering Festival grounds
FREE badges for the children and their caregivers
