I hope to come to Cannes in July 2010. Do the open-air concerts take place at that time of year?
Thanks

Hello,
We will visiting Cannes On November 1, 2009 via cruiseline.
Are most of the sights closed due to All Saints Day?
Can you recommend sights to visit and transportation options (bus) for that day?
Would Grasse and Gourdon be a reasonable trip from Port of Cannes?
Thank you

Need to know how to ride on a train or bus if train is not available from port of Cannes to Monte Carlo. Pls advise the train schedule and fare or a website I can find the info.

Thanks

I'm looking for suggestions for the best place to have lunch in Cannes. We'd like somewhere that's nice and serves primarily French cuisine, but no more than $100/person if possible. We're only there for the day on a cruise ship excursion so it must be easy to find as we won't have a car. Any ideas?

It's possible to rent a scooter ( small moto bicke)??

We are staying at Rue de Madrid for the festival. How is the best transportation way to go to the venue at Bd. de la croisette ?? Please reply quickly, we are travelling today from our country.

Now that Farfalla has closed (Mocca is the new place in the old Farfalla location), is there any restaurant in or close to Cannes which has good ribs?

Hello Cannes locals / visitors:

Please could you let me know if you know any churches that are:
- within easy access to an international airport (max 1h30 mins travel)
- picturesque, with a minister / priest that can speak English
- with hotels / apartments / gites to rent nearby
- which has a great natural landscape view outside
- good transportation(public and private) available in the area

Thank you so much in advance!

Is there a reasonable and efficient way to travel between Cannes and Milan? The flights leave from Nice, which is OK, but all seem to have connections in third countries. The rail connections don't look any better. Suggestions will be much appreciated.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Cannes / Antibes for the last weekend of the film festival this year (2009). We will be driving and are considering staying at the Stars Antibes Hotel. I have several questions if anyone is interested in helping.

1. How much will it cost to use public transportation to get from ANtibes to the festival area in Cannes?

2. Would it be possible to drive into Cannes and park?

3. Any advice on star spotting spots in Cannes would be greatly appreciated!

4. Any Advice about the festival or the area would be greatly appreciated. Especially info on eating and avoiding being robbed by high festival prices!

5. I also found a cheap hotel near the airport in Cannes. Would this be a better location?

We will be driving from Bavaria, Germany on Friday 22 and returning to Germany on Tuesday the 26th. Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Our cruise ship will be docking in Cannes for 6 hours and we would like to see it, Nice, Eze and Monte Carlo. Is that possible to do in that amount of time and would we be better off trying to do it on our own without a tour to save some money or is it more efficient to set up a tour? How much time should we alot for each town and in what order should we try to see them? Thanks!

We are a group of 8 arriving by ship to Cannes in June. How expensive would it be to hire a taxi to take us to St Paul de Vence? I read there is no train that goes directly there. Rental cars are quite expensive to fit 8 people. Any help or suggestions I would appreciate.

In Port arriving at 10 AM till 7 PM on 4/23/09. Thinking of taking a train to St. Paul de Vence. How far is it, how long a ride, what is the cost? Where do we go when we get there (St. Paul), and what transportation would be available? We heard it's beautiful. Would welcome suggestions and any pertinent info. Thanks!!

Hi there
My friend and I will be in Cannes for the week 28 March-2 May 2009. We would love to travel to Barcelona on 2 April by train but have no idea where to start. Firstly, are there trains from Cannes station to Barcelona? If so, how long is the trip and do the trains leave Cannes station regularly? What is the price of a one way train ticket from Cannes to Barcelona?

Hello! Can anyone please recommend a great French language school in Cannes, preferrably one that teaches intensive classes daily?

Thank you...

I'll admit it! I turn 61 next week & everything is slowing down. I'm trying to find train fares for my wife & I but can't seem to figure them out. I show anywhere from 33 Eu. on up. I don't know weather that's for one or two, Round or One way trip and/or senior fares. We'd like to take a quick trip to Nice from Cannes while on a cruise stop. We also plan on a local tour of Cannes called "Big Tour". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

We are staying in Cannes for a few days in June. Is there a bus from Cannes to St Tropez so that we can go for the day please?

Could anyone tell me which is the best bus to get to La Napoule from Cannes on Tuesday 22nd April around 10.00am. Need to get to the area near the Royal Casino Hotel.
Many Thanks

We are staying at the Carlton Cannes InterContinental, 58, BD. LA Croisette BP 155 and wanted to know if anyone knew of a good place to park our rental car. The parking fee at the hotel is 37 euro.

Can we park on the street anywhere or do you know somewhere else that might be cheaper? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Me and 2 friends want to visit Cannes whilst travelling around Europe with an InterRail Pass this summer.

We've booked flights into Barcelona and want to know if we can get a train from Barcelona to Cannes with our pass and how long it would take.

Also, we want to go to Florence (with a stop of in Nice/Monaco) - does anyone know if we can do this?


Many thanks for all help

It is a combination trip of work and vacation. I have to meet a person that lives in Tanneron (one meeting for 2 hours) - we agreed to meet in Cannes, but the meeting can take place in Tanneron. It is our first time in South of France _ my husband needs mostly -rest, so what we think to do - is rent a nice place ( it can be in a small Boutiq hotel' or house, or room in an house ) - that will be our foacl point and we will go around with the car have nice trips. Not too much walking as I am recovering from torn muscle, and not too much driving as we try to rest. Any information - suggestions - will be appriciated. I looked at the VT - recomendation - but I am lost, because I canwt deside wich city to stay near by' what is important to see. I know that Avinion is great and San Paul de Vence - but they are far from canne. I don't want the tourist beausy places - we want peace, nature, small allies, culture, maybe going out here and there . Can you recommened a place to stay, good relaiable car rental agancy, restaurnts ( you can write me details in a mail). Help dear people help.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

I am traveling to south france via paris at the end of July. I have 5 days and would like to know the best place to stay. I want great beaches, shopping and nighlife- without paying a million dollars a night for a hotel. Which area would you recommend staying? I see there is cannes, nice, monaco..?? any must sees or hotel recommendations? three girls in our early 30's

Just one more thing - we are young and love our night life - is Cannes better that Nice for night life? Will it be expensive in November?

My buddy and I are flying to Nice in November and we are hoping to spend a cuple of days in cannes.

Can someone recommend the cheapest way to get there?

Also what is Cannes like in November - is it cold/wet and is it busy?

Thanks!

how far is the train station from Nice airport./ What should I pay for a taxi from Nice to Cannes

what is the nearest airport for cannes? valid answers are deeply appreciated..

On Oct 14, 2007, we (2 couples in their early 60's) will have about 10 hrs. shore time from a cruise ship. Any input as to how warm it is likely to be?
Secondly, what are some of the interesting day time things to do in Cannes - including a beer/wine stop somewhere to enjoy some local flavour? We'll have seen lots of "history" and "antiquity" by the time we get to this stop, so would probably lean toward something beachy or casual. There seems little point going to Nice or Monte Carlo (as some of the ship tours offer), when we are in CANNES!
Input appreciated.

Hello there,
