Travel guidance by car:
Get off highway 8 at sign no. 41 “Cannes La Bocca”, follow the signs direction Cannes along the road Avenue Francis Tonner. Turn right in a red light cross where you see a sign with “bord de mer” (seaside) and have a real estate agency Cannes Horizon to your right. Once turned right, drive straight some 100 metres and you will find – just before a tunnel takes you under the train and to the beach road – a brown building on your right named Palme d’Azur. Access to the underground parking is to the right of the stairs to the main entrance.
