For the 20th consecutive year we present the About Cannes Guide, a tradition and an indispensable manual for Brazilians about to watch the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in loco. Filled with relevant information about the world’s biggest marketing communications award, the city it’s held on and its neighborhood, this publication’s objective is to assist all our country’s participants to enjoy their stay in Côte D´Azur to its fullest comfort and advantages.

This guide features a list of addresses and telephones, useful services, and the best restaurant alternatives within four price ranges for a complete meal, wine and service included for one person - up to 30 euros ($), from 30 to 80 euros ($$), around 100 euros ($$$) and 150 euros and up ($$$$).

We also publish the festival’s agenda, containing the schedule for the main activities and award winning ceremonies for all the categories.

In addition, we bring the opinions of 11 brazilian judges for this year just as well as a synthesis of the country’s 2007 performance and its participation numbers for 2008, which will provide our readers with a comparative overview on the festival’s two editions. As a complement we include the Cannes’ map in order to assist those who enjoy walking by the city’s streets.
