The Cannes Festival dates for 2008 are May 14 to May 25

engines, Expedia, Venere, Orbitz, Hotels.com In Nice are three Choice Quality Hotels (see Three Choice Hotels Nice) The Best Western Hotel in Nice convenient to the rail station in is the Hotel de Madrid From
Juan les Pins, Antibe, Nice or other Cote d'Azure towns you can
easily take the train, though a hotel on the beach may be a bit from
the station in some towns. Buses run along the coast but can be a slow
trip. There are other villas and hotels
inland but
you'll
need a cab or a rental
car. Driving into Cannes you can park at the multi-floor garage next
to the Cannes Gare for all day. At around 6pm the lot gets fuller as
car loads
of local dressed up babes
start to arrive looking
for the parties. Traffic through town is very congested so give yourself
time. Cars can be rented at the Nice Cote d'Azure airport or at the
Nice Gare main rail station. The Cote d'Azure Airport is 35 minutes by cab in ordinary traffic or or 20 minutes by train. Train Schedules can be checked at SNCF France National Railways If you arrive in Paris or another
distant city you can book the TGV high speed Train through
Rail Europe's TGV
Booking Center If you just want to make Cannes part of your visit and see more of the country you can get a Rail Pass from Rail Europe. The rail line travels along the coast from Marseilles through Cannes, Nice, Monaco, San Remo, Italy to Genoa. See How a Rail Pass Works. Food and drink can be very expensive
along the Croisette, but if you walk a few blocks back toward the rail
station, the restaurants on the back streets are much more reasonable.
A food stand near the American Pavilion is a popular place to grab
a sandwich for lunch. Unless you really want to pay $30 for a espresso
coffee in a demi tasse. © Bargain
