The Cannes Film Festival takes place in the seaside town of Cannes on the French Riviera. Cannes is around 45 minutes by road from Nice, so most festivalgoers arrive via Nice International Airport (Airport code: NCE).
Once you've arrived in Nice, the easiest way to get to Cannes is via the local shuttle bus which operate services out of the airport. Shuttles leave Nice every 30 minutes or so and the journey to Cannes takes about half an hour, depending on traffic.
Indeed, the traffic and tight streets can make navigation a bit difficult for those who are looking to drive their own or rent cars from car hire ireland or other companies. For this reason, car rental services with drivers and guides can make travel considerably easier if you're planning to do a lot of driving on the Riviera.
The main challenge in Cannes is of course finding a place to stay. Accommodation in Cannes represents more of a challenge than securing a flight so make sure you book yours as soon as possible to avoid disapointment.
For the full wrap on getting to the festival and finding somewhere to stay, make sure you pick up your copy of the Cannes - A Festival Virgin's Guide book.
