Answer 1

From the Nice airport, you must go to Fréjus. There are two ways:

- Coach (bus) 42 or 53

- The train (10-11 euros) leaving from Gare St-Augustin which is a 15-minute walk from the airport but there is also a bus going there.

Then from Fréjus to Cogolin you take Coach 104 = 11 euros.

Depending on what time your plane is landing you can decide which bus to take or if you prefer to take the train. Here are the schedules for all the bus lines:

If you click at the top pf the page on "Plan du réseau" you'll get a map of the bus routes. For more info google the names of the different bus companies listed next to the PDF schedules.

For trains, you can take a train to Fréjus from the airport (Gare St-Augustin) or from downtown Nice (Nice-Ville). To view the train schedules, go to http://www.tgv-europe.be/en/home/ and check also the Nice airport website to find the bus routes between the airport and Nice.

In any case the trip will be long (probably over 2 hours) but should only cost 20 to 30 euros. The easiest way if you find times that work with your plane schedule is to take bus 42 or 53 from the airport to Fréjus and then bus 104 to Cogolin.
