'location of the festival which awards the palme d'or' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cannes that I've seen before include "Med film festival resort" , "Film festival resort on the French Riviera" , "Frend Mediterranean resort" , "An annual film festival is held here" , "South of France resort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
