Justice Centers (Justice Offices, France Services Centers, Legal Aid Centers, Legal Access Points, and various other names) provide access to free legal and social services, varying in number depending on the situation.

- Home – Guidance – Legal Information
- Legal Counsel for the City of Cannes

To contact this branch office, click the «Map of Justice Centers» button above (map published by Conciliateurs de France), enter «Cannes» as the address, and then pan the map around to look for icons depicting houses with red roofs. You’ll find two houses with red roofs west of Cannes. If you click on a house, a caption will appear. The caption for one of them is «ADJ» (Justice Branch). Click on “ADJ” to view the information below, which will allow you to contact the reception desk and schedule an appointment with one or more of its staff members.
