Your studio for the Tax Free World Exhibition (TFWA) 2026, a 2-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals
Every year, the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference takes over the Palais des Festivals and turns Cannes into the world capital of travel retail. During those few days the schedule is packed: stand meetings, conferences, business dinners and networking evenings. The worst enemy of a successful show is accommodation that is too far away and complicated logistics.
SeaYouSoon is the opposite. Eleven studios a 2-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals and the Vieux Port — no taxi, no parking hassle, right at the heart of the event. And above all: this is not an anonymous agency handing you a key in a lockbox. It is Pascal who welcomes you in person, points you in the right direction and stays reachable throughout your stay.

The TFWA World Exhibition at a glance
The TFWA World Exhibition & Conference 2026 will take place from 27 September to 1 October 2026 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. It is the world's largest gathering for travel retail and duty free, bringing together thousands of professionals, brands and buyers from around the globe every year.
In practice, for you: days that run from the first morning meetings to late-night events. Hence the vital importance of a base just a 2-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals.
Welcomed by a friend — the Pascal difference
Large agencies manage hundreds of properties and dozens of owners. At SeaYouSoon, it is Pascal — the owner — who welcomes you, hands you the keys in person and remains your single point of contact from start to finish.
That is what makes the difference between "a booked apartment" and "a successful stay". And that is what our guests tell us, show after show.
