Nice/Cannes transport:

Train

For an economic way of getting there we have learned from some guests that it is possible to walk from Nice airport to train station Nice St. Augustin and from there one can take the train and get off at Cannes la Bocca station which is a small platform station close to the apartment. Optionally take the train with end station Grasse and get off at Le Bosquet which is also in close walking distance. But it may not be convenient if one carries heavy luggage and tired children. It's an apx. 15 minutes walk from the airport to St. Augustin. How to get there and the departure times see here: It's apx. a 40 minutes train ride and an apx. 5 minutes walk from La Bocca station or Le Bosquet station to the apartment. More info at www.sncf.fr but in French however. You may also use same 2 optional train stations to get from the apartment to down-town Cannes, Nice or Monaco or Marseille. Getting there is a bit strange. You walk along the beach direction east for a few minutes. When you see the platform station on your left hand, then look out for a stairway on your right down onto the beach, near 3 palm trees and large brown rocks in the water - go down these stairs and walk under a very low height tunnel under the road - and you will find a stairway leading up to the platform suddenly. Please consult viamichelin, type the address 6, rue de la Verrerie, 06150 Cannes la Bocca and you can see a symbol of the train station to get an idea of the distance. There is another way from the apartment to the la Bocca station that is not along the beach, it's a more normal walk. You walk along the Avenue du Raimond Picaud and walk down the rue Louis Armand. It's slightly longer. The address of the Le Bosquet station is rue Joseph Flory. See more at http://maps.google.com

Bus Service

"Rapides Cote d'Azur" is a rapid (45 minutes) and reasonably-priced (apx. Euro 11,45 per person) bus service that links Nice Cote d'Azur airport with Cannes bus station. Departs from Nice Cote d'Azur Airport every hour from 9.00 am to 10.00 pm and leaves the bus station every 30 minutes for the Nice Cote d'Azur Airport from 7.00 am to 8.00 pm. Then you may take a taxi from the bus station to the apartment. This is the most economic way.

Taxis

From Nice Airport to Cannes: Estimated fare of apx. Euro 75-80 each way . Your trip will take around 30 minutes.

PS: Renting a car is not that much more for a whole week than using above taxi however it is recommended that one should be an experienced driver and it is recommended to hire underground parking with us, see more under Prices.

Travel guidance by car:

Get off highway 8 at sign no. 41 "Cannes La Bocca", follow the signs direction Cannes. In a roundabout you will see a small white airplane as a statue on a piedestal, there you turn right, drive straight ahead for a couple of minutes along the road Avenue Francis Tonner. Turn right in a red light cross where you see a sign with "bord de mer" (seaside) and have a real estate agency on each side, Century 21 to your left and Cannes Horizon to your right. (PS ignore a minor Cannes Horizon shop window that comes earlier on same street). Once turned right, drive straight some 100 metres and you will find - just before a tunnel takes you under the train and to the beach road - a brown building on your right with the words "Maeva" (formerly known as Pierre & Vacances). Access to the under ground parking is to the right of the stairs to the reception entrance for those who have rented parking with us.
