With taxis costing upwards of €90 depending on where you are staying in Cannes, it’s always worth checking the other options. If you are travelling with one or two people and have travelled a bit, you might just want to get downtown as quickly as possible in which case the taxis are a tempting option. [...]

Nice airport experiments with mobile phone boarding passes
In: flights
19 Aug 2009I’ve been reading for years about mobile phones being used as “tokens” that would act as concert tickets, bus passes and other uses.

In: accommodation| yachts
11 Mar 2008I couldn’t help noticing that Reed Midem are offering rooms aboard a liner for Mipim this year. I’m not too sure what to think. Given the extraordinary number of people that attend Mipim, it makes sense to stay in the bay rather than in places as far away as Nice. Plus, boats are romantic (kind [...]
