Keeping in Touch in Cannes

International calls on your mobile are now cheaper since roaming charges in Europe have been scrapped  A stamp for a letter up to 20g to any location in the EU is 70 centimes and to the rest of the world, generally, one euro.
Buy them from post offices (La Poste) or from sometabacs.
Tip:  Avoid the queues in the post offices by getting your stamps from the machine called an affrichissement.
Note: Post office in Rue rue Hoche - Closed at lunchtime

Post Office in Square Merimee - Usually open at lunchtime

There are a few telephone boxes, provided by France Telecom, in Cannes so if your mobile battery dies on you, do not despair. They do not take coins but prepaid cards or bank card or reverse charge calls.

Trouble with your computer or laptop? Go to Emergency Page.
