Hiring a campervan in Cannes means setting off from the Croisette into a remarkably varied area less than an hour's drive away: the red rocks of the Esterel massif, the Lérins Islands across the bay, the flower fields of Grasse and the hilltop villages of the Préalpes d'Azur. Our partner company Anywhere Campers offers vans for two and family motorhomes sleeping up to six.
Cannes lies between Antibes and Saint-Raphaël, where the A8 motorway meets the Route Napoléon, which climbs from the coast to Grasse and then the Alps: an ideal position to combine sea and mountains on the same trip.

- Fayence
- Seillans
- Lake Saint-Cassien
- Cannes
The Corniche d'Or runs along the red cliffs of the Esterel via Théoule-sur-Mer and the coves of Agay to Saint-Raphaël. You then climb to the hilltop villages of the Pays de Fayence, Fayence and Seillans, before heading back along the shores of Lake Saint-Cassien, where a freshwater swim makes a change from the sea. A short loop, ideal for a first weekend.

Via Mougins, you climb to Grasse, the world capital of perfume, to visit its perfumeries and gardens. Gourdon, perched on its cliff, overlooks the Gorges du Loup, which you descend on a ledge road to Pont-du-Loup. Tourrettes-sur-Loup, the town of violets, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, with its ramparts and art galleries, round off this loop right next to Cannes.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Cannes?
Best time
April to June and September
April to June, September
highs 18 to 26 °C, lows 10 to 19 °C
The best time to leave from Cannes: long days, a sea warming up from May and clear roads in the hinterland. In May, Grasse harvests the centifolia rose; in September, the sea is still warm and the beaches of the Esterel empty out. Only the two weeks of the Film Festival, in May, overwhelm the town.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 29 to 30 °C, lows 21 to 22 °C
High summer: rare rain, the warmest sea of the year and a very busy coastline, from the Croisette to the coves of Agay. The hinterland villages, cooler at altitude, are a good refuge. Book campsites and vehicle well in advance and set off early in the morning to avoid the coastal traffic jams.
October and November
October to November
highs 17 to 22 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C
The wettest months in Cannes, with sometimes violent storms on the coast and in the valleys. Between showers, the days remain mild and the sea is still fine for swimming in October. Check the weather before driving mountain roads or along rivers.
Winter
December to March
December to March
highs 13 to 16 °C, lows 5 to 8 °C
Winter in Cannes is mild and sunny, and February is mimosa month: the Tanneron massif, just above Mandelieu-la-Napoule, turns yellow. Nights are cool and snow can fall at Gréolières: a heated vehicle and campsites open all year are a must.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up with Anywhere Campers
Anywhere Campers hands over its vehicles in Cannes; the exact meeting point and time are in your booking confirmation. Arrive a little early for the vehicle walk-through, and do your shopping before taking the road to the Esterel or Grasse, where shops become scarce.
The Lérins Islands by boat
Sainte-Marguerite, with the fort of the Man in the Iron Mask, and Saint-Honorat, where monks grow vines, can only be reached by boat from the port of Cannes. Leave the motorhome at the campsite or in a suitable car park and take the ferry for the day.
Fire risk in the Esterel
In summer, access to the forested Esterel and Tanneron massifs may be restricted or even banned, depending on the fire risk level published daily by the prefecture. Check it before a hike, never park in vegetation and do not light any barbecue outside campsites.
A8 motorway tolls
The A8 motorway, linking Cannes with Fréjus, Nice and Aix-en-Provence, is tolled. Most motorhomes are in class 2 because of their height, the lowest campervans in class 1. For short stages, the Corniche d'Or and the N7 road are free, slower alternatives.
Parking in town
The underground car parks in central Cannes, near the Croisette and Le Suquet, have height limits that rule out most motorhomes. Park on the outskirts or at the campsite, then reach the centre by bus or on foot; the lanes of Le Suquet can only be explored on foot.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Cannes
Where can I pick up a campervan in Cannes?
In Cannes, our partner company is Anywhere Campers, which hands over its campervans and motorhomes directly in town. Other companies are based in Antibes and Nice, a few kilometres away: by widening your search to these towns, you can compare more vehicles for a departure on the French Riviera.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Cannes?
The price depends mainly on the season, the length of hire and the type of vehicle: a van for two and a family motorhome are not priced the same, and summer is the most expensive period on the French Riviera. Run a search with your dates to get the real prices, mandatory fees included.
Which vehicle should I choose for the Esterel and the Cannes hinterland?
For a couple, a two-seat van such as the Van for 2 goes anywhere, including the Corniche d'Or and the Gorges du Loup. A family will choose a Carado T-447 sleeping four, an Adria Matrix sleeping five or a Sunlight A70 sleeping six, more at ease on the motorway than on village roads.
Can I do a one-way trip from Cannes?
Our partners also have departures in Antibes, Nice, Sainte-Maxime, Brignoles, Toulon and Aix-en-Provence. A one-way trip along the coast or into inland Provence is therefore possible if the company accepts it: enter a different return city in your search to see the matching offers and fees.
Can I come to Cannes by motorhome during the Festival?
During the Cannes Film Festival, in May, and during major conferences, traffic around the Palais des Festivals and the Croisette is very heavy and some streets are closed. It is better to spend those days in the hinterland or the Esterel, and to book the campsites of Mandelieu-la-Napoule early.

The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Cannes
Which licence do I need for a motorhome hired in Cannes?
A category B licence is enough for campervans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes, the category of most models offered in Cannes. A driver holding a licence issued outside the European Union may need an international driving permit. The minimum age and years of driving required are shown in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Cannes?
Campsites are plentiful in the Siagne valley, in Mandelieu-la-Napoule and in Cannes-la-Bocca, a few minutes from the beaches. Overnight parking is banned on the seafront and in the forested massifs. In the hinterland, several villages have service areas for motorhomes.
How do I get to Cannes from Nice airport?
Nice Côte d'Azur airport is the closest major airport to Cannes. Regional trains link Nice-Saint-Augustin station, next to the terminals, with Cannes station, and express coaches also serve the town. Allow some extra time before your vehicle handover appointment.
Automatic or manual gearbox?
Most of the models observed in Cannes come in both versions: Van for 2, Carado T-447, Adria Matrix and Sunlight A70. An automatic gearbox makes the climbs of the Route Napoléon and the coastal traffic jams easier; choose the version you want in the search filters.
When can I see the mimosa and the flowers of Grasse?
Mimosa blooms from January to March, especially in February, on the Tanneron massif and in Mandelieu-la-Napoule. The centifolia rose is harvested in May around Grasse, and jasmine from late summer into autumn. The same hire can therefore follow the flower season depending on the date you choose.
When should I book a campervan in Cannes?
With a single partner company in town, the number of vehicles is limited: book several months ahead for July, August and the Festival period. In spring, autumn and winter, a few weeks are often enough; otherwise, look at departures from nearby Antibes or Nice.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Cannes
Cannes is the most central starting point in the western French Riviera. To the west, the red cliffs of the Esterel and the Pays de Fayence; to the north, Grasse, its perfumeries and the Gorges du Loup; higher up, the wild plateaus of the Préalpes d'Azur; and offshore, the Lérins Islands, a few minutes away by boat. Few towns offer so many different landscapes within so few kilometres.
Anywhere Campers offers both vans for two and family motorhomes, with manual or automatic gearboxes. Antibes and Nice, other nearby departure cities of our partners, widen the choice, and Toulon or Aix-en-Provence allow a one-way trip into Provence. With a pleasant climate from April to September and a mild winter, scented with mimosa in February, Cannes suits motorhome travel all year round.
