Location

The Vieux Port lies next to the Palais des Festivals and below Le Suquet, the old town on the hill. Boats leave from the port for the Lérins Islands, Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, a few minutes offshore. The Cannes Film Festival has been held here since 1946.

Getting there by public transport

Cannes station (Gare SNCF de Cannes, rue Jean Jaurès) is served by TGV and TER trains along the coast. From the station, the Palais des Festivals and the Vieux Port are about a 7 minute walk, or you can take Palm Bus line 1 between Gare SNCF and Gare Maritime, which runs about every 5 minutes.

About the skipper

A skipper is available for an extra 200 euro per day, but if you go without one you will need a boat licence.
