Dave
Lindley is the person to ask. He can take you and the family
anywhere you want to go. His prices are very reasonable.
I need to declare an interest here. He's a
friend! Nice bloke. Nice wife. Speaks French.

Buses
are super - Air conditioned, friendly, regular and slow in
summer. No late night runs. (Except in high season.)
Catch the 200 which runs past the site, every 20
minutes (in theory), between Cannes
and Nice. Every 30 mins on
Sundays and bank holidays.
Bus number 10 goes from Antibes,
past the site and up to Biot
and Valbonne. A
beautiful run.
Bus number 23 goes from Antibes
past the site and on to Villeneuve
Loubet and a little way beyond to Colle sur Loup. (Sorry. Not
been there, so no link. But we'll go! Let me know if you do.)
Stop
Press: The buses all charge 1 € for almost any distance.
Fantastic value.

Taxis.
No. Do not even think about it. They are all modern Mercedes and
hugely, take a mortgage, you must be joking.. expensive!
Best bet is
have a word
with the security people on the gate. They may be able to help with
late night runs into and out of the local nite spots at reasonable
prices. Don't tell anyone I told you!
If
there are a few of you, it may be an option, but, negotiate the price
before you get in and watch out for ROT*.
*Rip Off Tax - like VAT (TVA in France, as
they're dyslexic) but more expensive. However, not as expensive as
ROTT**.
**Rip off Tourist Tax - 17.5% more expensive than
ROT

Trains are great - Fastish, regular in summer but
long siestas at times. Local trains stop at every station most of the
time. Check this. Can run even at night.
The timetable for local trains can be found here. Print it out and take
it with you?

Car hire is easy from the airport. Expect to pay
around £150 per week.
Good places to find them:
I have used both of these. Cheap. They get the job done.... but read
the small print and don't trust the bu**ers as far as you can throw
'em! Good idea to use that digital camera. Photo the car from all sides
when you return it to their compound.

Helicopter
- It's possible. I can arrange it.

or a Way to go. (Have I got too
American?) Hire a pedal bike on site or go here for motorbikes or pedals.
I haven't tried any of these so beware the small print.

By
sea. Good way to go. Curiously I can arrange this too!

Spacecraft,
submarines and teleportation are extras... These could test
me but I like a challenge!
