Here's a piece on the Cannes Festival but suggestions work for other
trade show periods. Staying in a nearby town is sometimes the best
option. Juan les Pins is two train stops from Cannes and it's beach
front is similar without the showbizy glamour and prices. Antibes has
more trains stop at off hours. Nice has a lot of choices. Frejus is a
bit farther distant the other way but it is near the animal park. You
could also find a pretty good villa up in the hills by Grasse, but
need car or bus to get to Cannes beach area.
