In Cannes for 11 hours....what to do?

Hello Everyone,

We will be arriving in Cannes June/08 for approximately 11 hours and want to know if anyone has any suggestions on what to do.

We thought we may take the train to Monaco and then on the way back stop in Antibes.

Would we have enough time to just wander around both and find a place to have a glass or two of wine with a meal?

Do you recommend other stops to make?

How reliable are the trains? Can you buy a ticket to Monaco and stop where you want or do you have to buy a ticket for each stop that you may want to make?

Thank you in advance,

sabi

You could just stroll around Cannes%26#39; Croisette promenade, with its tall palm trees, its long beach with parcels of private restaurants and beach chairs and its grand hotels on the other side.

Good shopping on rue d%26#39;Antibes and vicinity.

Check out the old part of town in the Suquet and the Musée de la Castre, for the views from above town.

If you%26#39;re not into shopping but prefer nature/beaches, hop on to the Lerins islands - 15 min away by ferry and fun to walk around.

Everything is easily accessed on foot in Cannes, including the train station and its schedules. I wouldn%26#39;t bother spending time in transportation to Monaco or elsewhere if you have just 11 hours.

Enjoy!
