Advantages
Beautiful view from the train with sea viewFast journey (30 minutes)Inexpensive (9€ per person)Disadvantages
Overcrowded train during the peak seasonTrain is not nice, a bit run downTickets could be purchased online or from a machine on site, which proved to be very easy. The journey took about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, we didn't get a seat as the train was very full, so we had to stand. However, the facilities with USB plugs and toilets are quite reasonable. The train was also quite clean and the seats looked comfortable. As the train arrived on time and the ticket only cost €9, I think the price-performance ratio is good.
Advantages
HygieneDisadvantages
DelayUnfortunately, the train arrived far too late. A whole 30 minutes to be precise. From the clean sanitary facilities and benches, I realised that hygiene was a top priority for the cleaning staff. The staff were very helpful. I was able to buy the ticket online at a fair price. Overall, I would recommend the train connection despite the time aspect. There was no need to change trains. The train journey took about half an hour and I didn't have to change trains.
Advantages
Clean trainGood serviceShort journey durationDisadvantages
NoneThe journey was a good experience overall. The train was extremely clean and even the toilets were clean. There were no delays during the journey. The journey time was only a short 1.5 hours. The staff on board were friendly and polite, which speaks for a good service. I will never forget the scenery along the route.
Advantages
FastPunctualOn-board serviceNo changeDisadvantages
-The train offered an uncomplicated connection that got me there quickly and easily in just half an hour. There were no changes, which made the journey particularly relaxed. The train was punctual and comfortable and the seats were big enough to make the short journey very pleasant. The on-board facilities were also particularly positive. There was a small but tasty selection of snacks and drinks, including freshly made croissants and coffee - perfect for the morning!

Staff was very rudeThe train journey was very good. We travelled on train number PK 601 and were very satisfied. The train arrived on time and it was also very hygienic inside and you always got a seat, which is very positive. But what I have to criticise very strongly is the staff. They were very rude.

OvercrowdedTrain journey from Nice to Cannes (TER 86024 on 25/09/2024)
We really enjoyed the train journey from Nice to Cannes. Booking via the SNCF Connect app was easy and hassle-free, and the journey time of just under 40 minutes was ideal for a short trip. The train was also on time, which is of course a big plus.
My girlfriend and I were particularly impressed by the views during the journey - the route along the coast offers really beautiful views of the sea. I would therefore recommend everyone to sit on the left-hand side if possible.
It was pleasantly quiet and the seats were comfortable, which made the journey even more relaxing. One small downside was that the train was quite full, which made it a little difficult to find a seat. However, we found it positive that there were power sockets, even if there was no wifi. We didn't use the toilets, so we can't comment on that. For the low price, the journey was definitely worth the money.
What's more, this is a direct connection, which means you don't have to change trains!
Advantages
PunctualCleanSimple digital processingDisadvantages
Very fullAll seats occupiedThe trains ran on time and were very clean. Unfortunately, they were very full and you couldn't get a seat. Basically, there were clean WCs and also power sockets at the seats. Booking tickets was easy and digital. Unfortunately, the trains don't run as frequently as in Germany and were also very crowded.
Advantages
Short journey durationGood serviceClean trainDisadvantages
Minor delayPoor wifiMy journey from Nice to Cannes by train was fine so far. The journey was short, but I reached my destination with a slight delay. The train was clean and there was nothing to criticise about the service on board. The train was also well equipped, with plenty of power sockets and wifi. However, the wifi signal was disappointing. There was plenty of beautiful scenery to see along the route.
