arriving tgv at antibes going to golfe juan I assume local train service is available but with suitcases etc anybody know cost of taxi?

It%26#39;s not very far - two stops - about 8 minutes on the local stopping train. Taxis ( quite dear in France)- there are plenty usually - from outside the Antibes station will probably cost around 20 euros.

Hi Ed, many thanks for taking the time to reply

Pat - One other thing - if you do decide to take the train to Golfe Juan you would be better getting off TGV at Cannes - stop before Antibes. This is because local trains pull into same platform so you dont have to go down /up steps as you are going in the same direction. Don%26#39;t get off at Cannes though if you decide the taxi is best because it is about twice as far to Golfe Juan from there. Also, if your ultimate destination is quite a way from the Golfe Juan station you will be better to take the taxi from Antibes anyway as I dont think there are taxis at Golfe Juan - it is a very small station.

Hi Ed, thanks for your tips re train to golf juan, had a hectic w/end in paris then as you suggested got off tgv at cannes at 2.55pm then stepped on the local train at 3.05 pm our apt. was 10 mins from station, we were sitting on our balcony in the sun by 3.30pm local bus services and trains were great, and got us all along the coast, coming home got bus from outside the apt. to airport, for 1 euro each

Thanks for letting us know how you got on and that you had a good experience of our local transport system.

Many thanks, pat-7, for the feedback. That was an even smoother transition than even I would have expected! Also we do rant a lot here about the overcrowding on the 200 bus, but Golfe Juan is exceptionally well placed for picking it up going towards the Nice Airport = before it gets too full.
