Bodyguard in Cannes
Festival glare, handled discreetly.
Cannes is the epicentre of global cinema, fashion and ultra-luxury leisure on the French Riviera, synonymous with the Film Festival in May, superyacht culture and an extraordinary concentration of celebrities, producers and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
During festival season the city becomes an international media circus drawing thousands of accredited press and paparazzi; outside it, Cannes remains one of the Riviera's most exclusive leisure and yacht destinations. Algoz provides protection calibrated to both.

Festival season books out early; we recommend enquiring well in advance.
EnquireWhy protection in Cannes must be licensed.
In France, close protection is a regulated profession. Under the Code de la sécurité intérieure (Livre VI), every agent de protection physique des personnes must hold a valid CNAPS professional card (carte professionnelle), and the operating company must hold a CNAPS authorisation. Armed protection is tightly restricted.
Algoz coordinates protection in Cannes exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative CNAPS-carded, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Nice and Saint-Tropez.
What protection in Cannes costs.
As a guide, professional close protection in France and Western Europe is, in 2026, from EUR 850 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover - the market base - with the final rate shaped by the profile, the threat picture and the season, and confirmed on enquiry with no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.
