...and the islands and beyond
Day trips by ferry are great and the boats go from Cannes old port to the Iles de Lérins (of Man in the Iron Mask fame), Monaco and St Tropez throughout the summer. The other route to St Trop is by train to St Raphaël and then by bus. If you must go by car in the summer – it’s hell actually – drive to Ste Maxime and take a boat to St Tropez.
Have fun.
