Close Protection Bodyguard Services for Cannes
Every year in May since 1946, Cannes is under the spotlight during one of the most publicised event: the Cannes Film Festival. Intelligent Protection International Limited supply Bodyguards in Cannes at the International Film Festival which gathers together the top names of the show business. Celebrities glamorously pose on the red carpet and walk up the iconic stairs of glory, flashed by photographers. The Festival celebrates cinematic art and is the most prestigious of its kind in the world.
But the fun and festivities don’t stop outside the doors of the Palais des Festivals and take place all around the Croisette, with private parties and cocktail events held by famous luxury brands or influential companies. The International exposure of the Cannes Festival often attracts unwanted attention from paparazzi and over enthusiastic fans, which can affect the security and intimacy of celebrities.
