That depends largely on where you’d like to go. Downtown Cannes, about 3 miles from Cannes Airport (CEQ-Mandelieu), can be challenging to drive in. Make life easy by picking something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Keep in mind that Cannes is also the gateway to some of the sandy shores in Alpes-Maritimes. If your escape is more about cruising down long stretches of road, then you may like something with a bit more trunk space and room to move around. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
