Hello, We are visiting Cannes for one day when our cruise ship NCL Epic calls in on 5th October 2012. We are hoping that we can just walk around and may maybe stop here and there for a cool drink or two. Any suggestions on must sees or must dos would be most welcome. Do we need to get a bus to see more or is there a 'little train'? Is it far from the cruise port to get into town? Can't wait........ thanks and regards, Alison

Hi folks, I'm travelling to Cannes from 5/AUG (sunday, I'll arrive at around 6:30 pm) to 10/AUG (thursday, I'll leave at around 10:00 am) and I was wondering if there is any garage or parking spot available for rent for that period of time. It must be near Rue d'Antibes (maximum of 300 meters from it) and it should cost no more than 60€ for that period of time. Many thanks in advance! Miguel

Last minute decision, so no planning yet.. any tips for a tourist planning to go Cannes during the annual film festival? For example: - for star spotting, will the last day/closing day be better or no difference? - when will they publish the daily film screenings (for public)? - for non-english films, will there be English subtitles? - I hear that the free films for the public are shown at night 930pm. How do I get to Fayence after that? (I am crashing over at my auntie's place during that week) - any other interesting tips for star spotting or otherwise?? Thanks!!!!

I'm told I have to buy a SIM card locally to insert into the iPad 2. I looked online and it appears that getting a card is quite difficult, requiring a French bank account and debit card, plus proof of residency. I also read somewhere that if you can get a SIM card, its about 10 Euros for the first 3 days, and then 6 Euros a day thereafter. Is there any way around this insanity? I will be in France for 2 months and would like to be able to use the iPad without jumping through hoops. I have wi-fi access, but would like to have the freedom of using a 3G connection as well.
