Help needed from French people!

Hello!

I am lucky enough to be going to the Cannes Lions advertising festival held in Cannes(duh). I have plane tickets to Nice but nothing to get me from Nice to Cannes - does anyone here have any information that could help me?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Eerik.

i would if i were french

get a train ticket

look for "le taxi"

beware: french taxi drivers can only be paid in baguettes, so make sure you have a few to hand.

well Nice is very close to Cannes, u just go to the railroad station, pay 10€, get your ticket, & arrive 50min later

but if you don't mind paying a lil more baguettes, a cab certainly is more comfortable (esp if u have bags & stuff), there are tons of cabs ready to pick you up (& rip u off obv) at Nice airport

mipwnya is a certified tour guide in cannes, he'll be able to personally show you around, just send him a PM first

anything else i should know?
kind of strange waters for me - only been to france for like 20 minutes ;D.
i know some elementary french from my secondary school, for example: j'habite dans un ascenseur. or: marc est bien cuit dans le frigidaire.

ROFL

ROFL

hahahaahaha why do people who don't speak french always know a couple hilarious random sentences

what do those two sentences mean?

I live in an elevator.
and
Marc is well-done/cooked in the refrigerator.

TU EST UN PERROQUET!!!

HAHA, who came up with that kind of stupid sentences ? Anyway beware that taxis in France are super expensives and will try to scam you if they realize you're a foreigner (which will be quiet ez if you say Marc is in the refrigerator), ask first for a price (in english) or:"C'est combien pour aller a Cannes ?". Also if you see a super hot chick you can tell her:"Yo mademoiselle tu es super charmante, ca te dirais un ice cream ?", success garanteed.

yea, i actually understand written french very well and i do know what those 2 sentences i typed mean - they've been a trusty companion when i try to look utterly retarded tho ;D

but the sentences you gave me are refreshing my memory in terms of my active french, so keep going please!

thanks!

LOL@ "marc est bien cuit dans le frigidaire"

I ROFL'ed at "j'habite dans un ascenseur" haha. im half french and i have absolutley no idea how that is even vaguely funny, but god damn it is.

LOL!

bonsoir monsieur le phantom

was what i learnt from my lesbian hippie teacher

and mon l'esprit animal es le renard

if your going to play poker in Nice, play at the Ruhl Casino 5/5 euro game there IS EASY.



It's right off the main road next to the boardwalk.

I did not die during my trip, i was semi-mugged in Cannes(they got nothing since I had nothing on me haha).
A lot of free food, alcohol, a few hot girls sunbathing topless on the beach a few metres from where are usual delegate only free-everything lounge bar was ;D
was a great 10 days.
a bit warm tho.
also, the grand prix winner of tv ad was awful (gorilla+chocolate+phil collins).

Did you learn any new French sentences?
Women don't sunbathe topless in Estonia, probably because it is too cold??

Ok. Here are the favorites I remember from highschool.

Papa fume un pipe.
osecour osecour un serpent.

au secour is two words not one

Pardon my French
