Which film festival is Mr. Bean trying to attend at the end of Mr. Bean’s Holiday?

Mr. Bean is trying to attend the Cannes Film Festival in Mr. Bean’s Holiday.

The festival provides the destination for Bean’s journey through France. After a chain of travel mishaps, he becomes separated from Stepan, a young boy, and the plot follows their attempts to reunite while moving toward Cannes.

The setting allows the film to combine sightseeing, travel comedy and the world of cinema. The festival is also important to the story’s finale, where Bean’s accidental experiences become connected with a film presentation.

Cannes is sometimes confused with the festival in the earlier film Bean. In the 1997 movie, Bean travels to Los Angeles to help with a painting; Mr. Bean’s Holiday instead uses Cannes as its major destination.
