ACM SIGCOMM'97 consists of 2 days of tutorials and 2 1/2 days of a single-track conference. The tutorials will be held at INRIA, a 15-20 minute bus ride from Cannes, and a bus shuttle will be provided from the Palais des Festivals to the tutorials. The single-track conference will be held in Cannes, in the Palais des Festivals, and is less than a 15 minute walk from the hotels

You will arrive in Cannes by car, train, or plane.

Car: There are street signs all over Cannes to direct you to the conference venue (follow Palais des Festivals - la Croisette)

Train: The Cannes railway station is within walking distance (< 10 min) to hotels and conference location

Plane: The Nice international airport is 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Cannes. From the airport to Cannes, your choices are

• Bus (100 FRF, every half hour, drops at the Cannes train station)
• Taxi (400 to 500 FRF, 30 minutes)
• Shuttle (200 FRF, 30 minutes):

  This service has to be booked prior to your departure. Please send a fax to ITINERAIRE BIS (+33.493.34.41.48) or call +33.493.61.11.52 with your flight information. The driver will pick you up upon arrival and bring you to the hotel.

• Rental cars: All major companies are represented at the Nice airport.

  Mid September is in the tail of the tourist season. So driving from Nice airport to Cannes by the coast highway might take a long time. Instead (not as nice, but faster) use the "Autoroute" (Turnpike). This costs 14.5 FRF but takes only 30 minutes.

• Helicopter (500 FRF, 10 minutes):

  We have negotiated a special rate for SIGCOMM '97. The helicopter leaves the airport on a regular basis to Cannes. A shuttle will drop you at your hotel.

You can also have a look at the map of Cannes. The Palais des Festivals is the yellow building located on the right of the Cannes Harbor, and at the west end of the Boulevard de la Croisette.
