About

The Lignes d'Azur bus network offers several lines departing Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, complementing tram L2 for destinations it doesn't directly serve. These lines are particularly useful for travellers heading to cities west or east of Nice without wanting to pay for a VTC.

Line 23 — connects the airport to Nice Saint-Augustin and Cagnes-sur-Mer westward. Useful for travellers staying in the Cagnes/Villeneuve-Loubet area. Regional Express Bus 200 (or equivalent) — serves Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and Cannes from the airport for around €2-3. Regional Bus Nice-Monaco — line 100, runs along the Promenade des Anglais serving Villefranche, Monaco, Menton for €2.50 from Nice centre (tram connection needed from airport).

Traveller Reviews

Lignes d'Azur buses are the smart traveller's secret weapon on the Côte d'Azur — for €2-3, reaching Antibes or Cannes from Nice airport is a reality very few visitors know about.
