CAR
HIRE
The studio is situated in the centre of Cannes so there is
no need for a car, but if you want to explore the Cote
D'Azur and go on a few road
trips, in my experience the following companies are the most reliable
for pick up from Nice Airport.
For the cheapest basic cars go to www.sixti.com
If you want an affordable automatic car, I would recommend
National Car www.nationalcar.com
If you are flying with Easyjet, do not be tempted by their offer of cheap car hire
with Europcar. The queues can be over a hour long at Nice Airport, and
you can waste half a day.
TAXI
Allo Taxi, Cannes Tel:
+ 33 (0) 8 90 71 22 27
Cards can be found in the studio. A taxi to and from
the airport is typically 75 Euros each way, or I can arrange a private
driver for 70 Euros each way. If you need a taxi during a very busy
festival or congress its best to book in advance.
BUS
The
cheapest way to get from Nice airport to the centre of Cannes. The
buses are located to the left as you exit the airport marked CANNES in
bold on the front. A single journey costs 14 Euros and it will drop
you off by the train station; a short walk from the studio.
Map
Buses to other destinations can be caught from the
Bus station located near to the old port. Map
TRAIN
We
all know the trains in France are better than those in the UK. You can
take the train to many destinations on the Cote D'Azur cheaply and
efficiently from Cannes Station; they turn up and leave on time. Its
the best way to enjoy the coastal scenery without the scary cliff side
roads by car. Map
However, you can't get a direct train from Nice Airport to Cannes -
how annoying. You have to take a bus into Nice and get the train
from there.
