Cannes & Antibes Day Trip Guide

🚂 Day Trip Itinerary: Nice → Cannes → Antibes → Nice 🎫 Tickets: Round-trip Nice-Cannes (€25 for 2) – Pro tip: Ask staff for help at the counter (saved us €5+ vs. self-service machines!). No extra ticket needed for the Antibes stop on the return! Fun fact: We got "lucky"—both trains were checked for tickets! 🎟️ 🎬 Cannes (30-min train from Nice) 📸 Highlights: Marilyn Monroe Wall – Right outside the station (stairs to the left, no crossing needed!). Beaches – Crowded but powdery white sand + deeper blue sea than Nice’s. Shopping – Luxury boutiques clustered along the coast. ☀️ We: Sunbathed, swam, and turned into "caramel" under the Mediterranean sun! 🏡 Antibes (Stop on return trip) ⏰ Regret: Arrived at 5:30 PM—missed the hiking trail due to infrequent buses (next time!). 🚌 Transport Apps Needed: Envibus Ticket (buy e-tickets, €1/ride). Envibus-Cap Azure (real-time bus schedules—Europe runs on "island time"!). 🎨 What We Did: Old Town Wander – Maze-like alleys bursting with flowers & cacti 🌵, each leading to surprise sea views. Picasso Museum – Free works donated by the artist (he loved Antibes!). Port Beach – Tiny cove with lighter-blue water than Nice, perfect for a dip. 🌟 Verdict: A sun-drenched, tranquil gem—way more charming than Cannes! 💡 Key Tips: Time Antibes buses wisely (or you’ll wait 30+ mins!). Cannes = glam; Antibes = soul. Prioritize Antibes if short on time! #Cannes #Antibes #FrenchRiviera #TravelDiary #DayTrip
