Travel
Arrive: Sunday PM
Depart: Saturday AM
Travel to Nice by plane and then the bus to Cannes, from the airport or take the college transfer (paid for in Euros once in France), or by Eurostar via Lille, and on to Cannes.
Arrival Transfer (Nice Airport)
Students can arrange to be picked up at the Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport by a taxi transfer service organised by the Collège. CESA will need to know your travel details no later than 10 days before your arrival or no transfer can be guaranteed.
Return Transfer arrangements (Nice Airport drop off)
If you want a return transfer to the airport you can arrange this in advance with CESA or pay for this once in Cannes, directly to the College staff, during the week. A transfer can be organized on the Saturday at the end of each session. Sometimes students arrange to share a taxi with new school friends rather than take the transfer, to keep the cost down.
