Paris to Cannes?

Question

Hello everyone,

I wanted to see if anyone could suggest the best way to get from Paris to Cannes. Last time I was in Europe I took the train everywhere; however, I?ve never actually taken one from Paris to Cannes. I wanted to find out how long it takes by train and what is the ticket price for first class. Also, would it be better to just fly from Paris to Nice and take the train to Cannes from there?

Thanks a lot,

Answer 1

hello,

there are direct trains between Paris Gare de Lyon and Cannes.
for example, if you leave Paris at 08.00am you will arrive at Cannes around 1.05pm.
the price for a one-way ticket in first class is 146 euros. (full fare - you can have a cheaper ticket if you are under 25 years old)

I think a train ticket will be cheaper than an air-plane ticket, but you can try to book a ticket with www.easyjet.com between Paris and Nice and then take a train bewteen Nice and Cannes...

There's nothing to do or see at Cannes, really, unless it's the film festival. Take the TGV from Paris to Nice which allows you to drop at Cannes and later continue on to Nice on the same day. Train times and schedules are available at http://www.sncf.fr . It's 5 hours between Paris Lyon station and Cannes station. It's quite pointless to fly, really. You first have to get to Orly airport and it's usually at least an hour from Paris centre. Moreover Nice airport is also outside of Nice.
