Catering at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes: CANNESERIES and international Games Festival, February 2027 events
February 2027 brings excitement to the Palais des Festivals in Cannes with two events offering very different but equally strategic universes: CANNESERIES, the international festival dedicated to television series, from February 11 to 16, followed by the International Games Festival, from February 26 to 28, for its 40th edition. Between the glamour of the pink carpet and the conviviality of the gaming tables, these two festivals attract professionals, creators, families, and enthusiasts from all over France and internationally.
For exhibitors, partners, organizers, and media present on site, catering remains an essential logistical point —often underestimated until the last days before the event. Pavillon Gourmet, an event caterer based on the Côte d'Azur, supports the actors of the Palais des Festivals each year with delivery services to stands, click and collect, full catering, and our novelty, a food truck available for rent.
Two Major Events in Cannes in February 2027
CANNESERIES 2027: The Glamour of International Series (February 11-16)
Created in 2018, CANNESERIES has established itself as the international festival entirely dedicated to television series in all their forms — long series, short formats, and documentaries. The event takes place on the Croisette, between premiere screenings on the pink carpet and a professional section, CANNESERIES Industry, which brings together producers, broadcasters, and screenwriters for international television fiction meetings. Nine awards are presented at the closing, including Best Series.
For organizers, broadcasters, agencies and brands present during CANNESERIES, catering must reflect the event's stature: cocktail format for gala evenings, refined trays for VIP lounges, and premium coffee breaks between two professional meetings of CANNESERIES Industry.
International Games Festival 2027: The Must-See Playful Event (February 26-28)
A change of atmosphere about ten days later: from February 26th to 28th, 2027, the Palais des Festivals hosts the 40th edition of the International Games Festival (FIJ), presented as the largest board game fair in the French-speaking world. Modern board games, grand classics, video games, virtual reality, role-playing and simulation games: the offers covers every format of play, with free access to thousands of titles to try on site. It is, over the course of the year, one of the most attended events at the Palais des Festivals, concentrated over just three days.
The FIJ stands out due to its dual positioning. It is first a family event, designed for all ages, with dedicated children's areas and a program accessible to casual and passionate gamers alike. But it is also a significant commercial meeting: hundreds of publishers, distributors, authors, and illustrators gather in a gaming sector that has become, in the words of the organizers, "a major economic player." The festival also hosts the prestigious As d'Or awards, an industry benchmark.
This 2027 edition promises to be particularly dense with three days of very high attendance, a busy pace on the stands and in the aisles, with peaks in attendance between gaming sessions and key program moments. Thus, for exhibitors and publishers present at the FIJ, the constraint is evident, a need for quick catering to consume without interrupting demonstrations or interactions with the public – and for the thousands of show visitors and badge holders, the challenge is not to waste time queuing between games.
Click & Collect: Queue-Free Catering for Visitors and Badge Holders
At a fair as visited as the Festival des Jeux, the real constraint is not finding something to eat, but not wasting precious time. Pavillon Gourmet already offers its Click & Collect service at several major fairs at the Palais des Festivals and naturally extends it to the FIJ: order and payment online in advance, choice of pickup slot, then collection directly at the Puits de Lumière counter (level -1), without waiting. Sandwiches, bowls, wraps, and fresh, seasonal formulas are offered to enjoy on-site or take away.
For FIJ visitors and professionals, this service allows them to keep control of their schedule between games or meetings, without sacrificing meal quality.
Our Food Truck for Rent: Pavillon Gourmet's Novelty for Your Events
New at Pavillon Gourmet, we have acquired a food truck, a mobile catering point that exhibitors, brands, and organizers can now rent for their own stand or event at the Palais des Festivals. It is not a service we deploy at the fair per se, but rather a module you reserve for your own setup – similar to a service team or stand delivery.
With its peaks in attendance, the Games Festival is precisely the kind of event where renting our food truck makes perfect sense, an additional service point directly attached to your stand. Customizable, it integrates as a real communication support into your event setup. The menus (classic, vegetarian, vegan) are designed for a quality snacking format.
Our Catering Services for CANNESERIES and the Games Festival at the Palais des Festivals in February 2027
Whether it's the understated elegance of CANNESERIES or the family and commercial energy of the Festival des Jeux, Pavillon Gourmet adapts its service to the nature of each event, with four complementary formulas:
Direct delivery to your stand: order in advance, delivery at the desired time, without setup or staff on site – meal trays, lunchboxes, and snack items for stands, as well as services dedicated to professional and networking spaces for editors and distributors. Ideal for stands seeking a practical solution without logistical constraints.
Click and Collect: order and pay online, pick up at the selected time at the Puits de Lumière counter, without queuing. A solution already acclaimed at high-attendance fairs at the Palais des Festivals, particularly suited for FIJ visitors and badge holders between games.
Food Truck rental: a new Pavillon Gourmet offering, a customizable mobile service point you rent, particularly fitting for the high visitor volumes at the Games Festival and outdoor activations.
Complete service with qualified on-site teams: setup, service and presentation managed on site, for receptions, cocktails and soirées where the guest experience matters as much as the quality of the food — a format particularly suitable for CANNESERIES professional meetings.
In all four cases, our teams commit to a comprehensive and customized offer:
adaptable menus for dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, allergen-free);
volume flexibility;
fine coordination with the site's schedules and access constraints;
careful presentation, consistent with the brand image of each exhibitor or organizer.
