Hello! We are heading to cinema de la plage tomorrow night. Could you tell me, when you say get there early, how early should we be to get a deck chair. We need to ensure we get chairs, so just concerned how early we should get in to reserve the seats. Many thanks!

Hello Corinne, thanks for reading my blog! The film scheduled for this evening is Pulp Fiction (by Quentin Tarantino), it is expected to be quite busy as it’s a popular movie. The movie is due to commence at 9.30pm but I spoke to the Cannes Tourist Office yesterday and they said some people had been queueing for the films from mid-afternoon (4-5pm). I will also be there this evening after an aperitif in Cannes, we expect to head along about 8.30pm and try our luck. You can take a picnic with you, the weather is forecast to be clear but many people also take a blanket as it can get windy where the film is screened. Free public toilets are along the Croisette and open until midnight while the Festival is on.
