Train from Cannes to Nice then St Paul de Vence

I am taking train from Cannes to Nice and was wondering if the train stops at GARE ROUTER where I need to catch the bus to St Paul de Vence. Thanks

No. The train station and bus station are not at the same location and the train does not stop at the bus station. You can take the Nice tram from the train station to the bus station which is near Vieux Nice.





There may be two other ways to go instead of going to Nice. Bus 200 which goes from Cannes to Nice stops in Cagnes sur Mer at the stop Cagnes Square 8 Mai. Bus 400 from Nice to Vence also makes this stop so it may be easier to bus from Cannes to Cagnes sur Mer getting off at Square 8 Mai and then transfer to the bus to Vence which stops at St Paul de Vence. The bus runs more frequently and may be more reliable than the train. Plus one less transfer (tram).





One other possibility would be to take one of the trains from Cannes that stops at Cagnes sur Mer. The main train station is near the bus stop Square 8 Mai where you can catch the bus to Vence.





Here are some sites to help you plan

Do not go all the way to Nice from cannes -it will just add an extra 45 mins minimum to the journmey time.





I would take the train from cannes to cagnes sur mer [provided i had checked the train times in advance and made sure there were no strikes ] then take bus 400 to st paul de vence for reasons of speed. [For the bus stop go out of the station at cagnes sur mer , cross the road and go to the right. Its just a couple of mins walk. Don%26#39;t stand at the stop on the same side of the road as the station- that heads back to Nice]





The bus 200 will take around an hour and possibly more if traffic is bad to get to cagnes sur mer from cannes.





Don%26#39;t get on bus 94 with the destination Vence at Cagnes sur mer as it does not go past St paul de vence
