Bus Service

"Rapides Cote d'Azur" is a rapid (45 minutes) and reasonably-priced (apx. 14 euros per person each way) 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. Or take public bus 1, 2 or 20 to la Bocca, get off opposite Ibis Hotel, then walk 5 minutes.

The most economic way is to take bus 200 from airport (terminal 1 bus station) to Cannes, however, it takes 1.5 hours. Get off at Hotel de Ville, change to bus 1 or 2 to Mairie Annexe (opposite Ibis Hotel). Total price 1€ (including transit).

Taxis

From Nice Airport to Cannes: Estimated fare of apx. Euro 90 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.
