How to get from Nice to St.Jean cap Ferrat?
What is the best way to get from Nice to St. Jean Cap Ferrat? Is there a local train that stops at those small Riviera towns? I would rather use a train, or a bus than a taxi (unless it is more economical for a family of three).

There is no train service to St.Jean Cap Ferrat. Cap Ferrat is of course a peninsula. The really nice village of St.Jean Cap Ferrat is rather far out on the peninsula. The base of the peninsula is where Villefranche Sur Mer and Beaulieu Sur Mer and Cap Ferrat all converge and is on the Bass Corniche road.The closest train station is Beaulieu and is a 20 minute walk along a paved walkway along the sea to the village of S.J.C.F. Villefranche is much farther away and involves a very steep hill climb. If you stay at the base of the cape you could take the bus from nice or a taxi. If you are staying out at the village on the sea you will find the buses from Nice few and far between and would pretty much want to use a taxi. It's a little inconvenient to get there but if you are like me and like to walk a lot; it is well worth it. I routinely walk between Villefranche, Beaulieu and S.J.C.F.
