Student Housing in Cannes

Known worldwide for its prestigious Film Festival, Cannes is a beautiful city in the French Riviera, southeastern France. From the luxury boutiques and hotels along the Boulevard de la Croisette to the historic charm of Le Suquet, Cannes blends history with modernity.

Student apartments for rent in Cannes

In Cannes, you can find two main types of student apartments:

On the one hand there are studio apartments. These offer privacy and independence with a bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom all in a compact space. Prices for studios usually start at around €500 per month. While the price isn't too high, check the features carefully, as some might have a sofa bed for sleeping. Make sure it suits your needs.

On the other hand there are shared apartments with multiple rooms. The monthly cost per person is generally more affordable since expenses are split among roommates. Expect to pay between €400 and €700 per month for a spare room in a shared apartment.

Student rooms for rent in Cannes

In Cannes, you can find both private and shared rooms, though shared rooms are less common. If you're aiming for a shared room to cut down on rent, start your search early.

Rooms in Cannes can be part of private shared apartments or student residences. Pay attention to both the apartment and the building's features. Some buildings might include amenities that make a big difference, like an outdoor pool!

Student accommodation in Cannes

Here are the favourite neighbourhoods among students to live during the school year:

Flats for rent in Centre Ville

Living in the city centre is always a good idea since it's the liveliest area. Here you'll find most bars, restaurants, and interesting spots here. However, keep in mind that the cost of living in Cannes is high, and being such a touristy city, rents in central neighbourhoods can be quite expensive.

Apartments in Le Suquet

Le Suquet is the historic district of the city, located west of the centre, next to the port. It's also very close to several beaches, making it an excellent place to live if you want to be near entertainment spots and natural areas.

Rooms for rent in Carnot and République

These two neighbourhoods typically offer more affordable rental prices compared to the previously mentioned areas because they're a bit further from the coast. They extend north of downtown Cannes along the major Boulevard Carnot. They have good bus connections to the rest of the city, but they don't usually have a wide variety of dining options.

Erasmus accommodation near Côte d'Azur University

The Georges Melies Campus of this university is located in the La Bocca neighbourhood, about a 30-minute bus ride west of the city centre. Many students choose to live in La Bocca to be close to their studies, the beach, the main train station, and some entertainment venues.
