LOST AND FOUND
You have lost an item:
During the event, we collect lost and found items at the baggage check located at the bottom of the steps, at the entrance to the Bal des Fous. You can go there to check if the item you lost is there.
Once the event is over, the found items are photographed and posted via an Instagram story. They are then taken to the Cannes lost and found office at 45 Boulevard Carnot (tel. 04 97 06 40 00) on Monday.
If you recognize an item, you can call this number to then go and collect it.
The lost and found office in Cannes is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm.
You have found an object:
The right thing to do: leave this item in the locker located at the bottom of the stairs.
As a second option, you can leave this item at the cashless stand or give it to your server if you have a table.
