Cannes train station could hardly be closer to the apartment as it is only 400 meters from the apartment and the TGV from Paris regularily travels to Cannes. Tickets can be booked online at Voyages-SNCF.com or trainline.com, the latter I find easier.
Many guest chose to drive to Cannes because of the flexibility it gives during there stay. The main A8 autoroute is just 5.5 kilometres and getting to the apartment from there is relatively straight forward.
If you have come by plane or train but wish to hire a car, there is an Avis rental office located at the station just 400 meters away.
