La Carte card and travel questions (2 adults, 1 child)

We're heading to Nice next week for 5 days/4 nights, first two nights in Old Nice then the next two nights in Cannes. It'll be myself, my wife and our 5 year old.

A very brief rundown of our plans are:

  • Day 1 - Arrive early in Old Nice
  • Day 2 - Visit Èze and Villefranche-sur-Mer by bus.
  • Day 3 - Travel from Old Nice to Cannes by train (then explore/relax in Cannes)
  • Day 4 - Île Sainte-Marguerite for most of the day (picnic and exploring)
  • Day 5 - Head back to airport in afternoon.

A few questions for those with experience:

  1. From what I've read online the La Carte card is only for Nice and won't be of use in Cannes, so is it worth picking up one up if we're only in Nice for two days, taking maybe ~5 bus trips (Old Nice > Èze > Villefranche-sur-Mer > Old Nice)

  2. If yes, I know to head to Grand Arenas via tram from the airport, but is it that 1 card can be tapped for multiple people in the same journey or should I get individual cards? And does that include children?

  3. If no, is it best to just pay for a train or tram from the aiport to Old Nice (or Nice, we can walk a little after).

  4. Not a question but any recommendations of places to go with a child are welcome!

Merci!

Deciding between Polaroid Now (Gen 3) or Polaroid Go (Gen 2)

I’m a professional videographer so I know my way around a camera, but I’ve never actually shot on film. For Christmas, I got the LEGO Polaroid camera and my daughter (now nearly 5) loved using it to ”take photos”, almost as much as she enjoys taking actual pictures on my Sony DSLR - where she’d usually hold the shutter down to take multiples. She got used to the single shot aspect quickly.

We’re heading to the south of France later this month and I thought this would be an ideal time to get a Polaroid and try some actual film, in an aesthetic I’ve always appreciated.

However, I’m struggling to decide between the Go and Now.

  • Go could be great as it’s such a cute size, with more shots per refill, and cheaper to run… but are they too small?
  • Now could be great as it’s basically 1:1 to the LEGO set, full sized prints, better functionality (light and focus)… but is it too chunky to realistically travel with?

I’ve searched a lot on this sub but it seems a lot of the Go discourse is surrounding the Gen 1 release, so figured I’d ask again! Does anyone have both and have recommendations? Does anyone have experience in sharing the activity with their kids? Thank you!
