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,
Jane.
If you have a long book to read and lots of time on your hands, the Paris train/TGV is attractive.But even the TGV slows to a crawl from Marseilles on to Cannes and Nice- the whole trip took around 5 - 6 hours. Really, most people fly Paris Nice there must be eight flights a day. Then get the rapid coach from Nice airport via the expressway to Cannes - around 13 euros.
Hello,
thank you for responding to my question. I'll see if I can find a reasonably priced ticket from Paris to Nice. I checked AirFrance, but their tickets are $450, a bit too much for a one way ticket, I'll try to find a smaller airline. If you know of any, please let me know.

Easyjet, Orly Paris or GCD Paris to Nice 160 Euro.

I've no idea what I meant by that last line -
"Soime flights out of ordinary hoursa re only 1600 for 30"?
Complete rubbish - too much wine!
Depending on your travel preferences an overnight train is still an option. We took one the opposite way (Nice to Paris) and found the jouney long enough to actually get some decent sleep. A quick check on the SNCF web site shows the journey is a little over 10 hours and depending on when you are going the ticket, with a couchette, is as low as 75 euro. (be careful when booking -the overnight train leaves from Paris Austerlitz station- there is also a TGV from Paris Lyon that can look like an overnight however it just has a 4 or 5 hour layover in Toulon where you would have to change trains)
Thank you for all of your suggestions... Hopefully I can find a reasonably priced plane ticket from Paris to Nice, if not, I'll take the train.

Next to the Russian Orthodox church of Saint-Michael-Archangel lays an older chruch of Roman Catholic religion called the Notre Dames du Pins (Our dear lady of the pinetrees) which holds inside a very peaceful domain and courtyard. The church itself now-a-days is partly restored, but needs still quite a lot of work.
Take a walk along Boulevard de la Croisette and dream about being able to afford to stay in one of these grand old (extremely expensive!!) hotels.
Make sure you don't get run down by the latest model ferrari when you cross the road...
Le Suquet is the local name for the old city of Cannes which occupies the hill overlooking le Vieux Port. While possibly inhabited since pre-historic times, le Suquet traces its beginning to the 11th century when the land was donated to the abbey of îles de Lérins. Immediately afterwards, the construction of Château de la Castre, the fort on the hilltop, took place, and over time, a small town developed around the fort. Today, le Suquet is perhaps the most charming part of Cannes with its typically Mediterranean architecture. The streets of le Suquet are narrow, winding and hilly and lead up to the Château which offers great panoramic views of Cannes. Parts of le Suquet are very lively at night with some great restaurants to discover. For more pictures of these beautiful streets click on Le Suquet.
In 1996 my class and me we made a one-week trip to Cannes. We were living with a french family and during the day we had french classes and mad trips to the neighbouring cities, like Nice, and Monaco.
