Meynadier 66 – Appartement Très Calme avec Cour Privative, Plage, Gare, Palais à 300m

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name makes it sound fancy and complicated, but honestly, it’s just a really well-thought-out apartment right in the heart of Cannes – and I mean *right* in the heart of it. Walking up to 66 Rue Meynadier, you’re basically stepping into the main shopping artery of the city, which sounds chaotic but somehow isn’t once you’re inside.

The “très calme” part isn’t just French marketing speak either. I was skeptical at first because Meynadier can get pretty bustling during the day with all the boutiques and cafés, but this second-floor spot has this private courtyard that creates this weird little bubble of quiet. It’s one of those happy accidents of old French architecture where the building layout just naturally blocks out the street noise. The apartment itself feels more spacious than you’d expect for a city center location – I’m guessing it’s because they didn’t chop up the original rooms into tiny pieces like so many places do. The decor is clean and unfussy, which I actually prefer when I’m trying to relax after walking around Cannes all day.

What really sold me on the location though is how everything important is genuinely within a few minutes’ walk. The train station is close enough that you can practically roll your suitcase there without breaking a sweat, which is clutch if you’re doing the Nice-Monaco-Cannes circuit. The beach – and we’re talking about the main Croisette beaches here, not some random strip of sand – is maybe a five-minute stroll down toward the water. The Palais des Festivals, where all the film festival madness happens, sits right there too. I mean, you could literally wake up late, grab coffee from one of the street-level spots, and still make it to a screening without rushing. During festival season this location would be absolutely golden, though I imagine it books up fast. Even in regular months, being able to walk to the old port area for dinner or catch the morning market at Forville without dealing with parking or buses makes a huge difference. The whole setup just works – it’s got that perfect balance of being central enough to matter but tucked away enough that you can actually get some sleep.

Reviews

• Geweldig! – Melanie from Netherlands – 2 July 2025 (10/10)

  We waren gestrand in Cannes na een auto ongeluk en hebben toen gehaast dit appartement geboekt maar het heeft onze verwachtingen ver overtroffen. Het appartement was schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien en vooral de airco was lekker koud. De locatie is echt super, midden in het centrum en vlak bij het strand.
  Onze hosts waren super lief, ze kwamen ons helpen met in en uit checken. Contact was heel fijn en vriendelijk.
  Heel erg bedankt!
