Driving from Nice Airport to Cannes in the evening

Hello Everyone,
Would someone advise me if the drive from Nice to Cannes at 8 P.M., late September,
is challenging? I"ve driven in France before, but not at night after a flight from US. Thank you again.

If you feel uneasy about driving, you could take the train from the airport to Cannes and pick up a car in Cannes. Trains are frequent, take about 35 minutes and cost €6.10.
Most of your driving journey will be on a highway known as the A8. Though there are other routes, I would take the A8 to Mougins and then take the D6285 to Cannes. Should take about an hour. Tolls alone will be more than rail fare. Personally, I’d take the train 🚂.
