Private jet Cannes to Monaco
Cannes to Monaco is the Riviera's shortest transfer — 12 minutes by helicopter versus an unpredictable hour by road during festival weeks. Every Cannes Film Festival arrival eventually moves up the coast to the Principality, and the helicopter is the only option that ignores the Croisette traffic entirely.
