Cannes station orCannes-Voyageurs (French:Gare de Cannes) is the mainrailway station for the French Southern city ofCannes. It is situated on theMarseille–Ventimiglia railway.
The station opened on 10 April 1863 when the line fromMarseille toCagnes-sur-Mer opened to passengers. The station was a small elegant building with a rooftop spanning both tracks of the main line. In 1870 the line fromGrasse is opened. The engine depot was moved toLa Bocca in 1880 and agoods station opened in 1883. With the lengthening of trains, the old station proved to be too small for the growing town. Work on a new station started in 1962. The station building was subsequently replaced by the present structure in 1975. The line and the station platforms are, per 2023, now underground across most of the city center as it was covered by multi lanes city expressway.
