Narrative:
On taxi out at nice, france, we were instructed to hold short of runway 4L at point C-1. Approaching C-1, ground controller cleared us to cross runway 4L, contact tower, and gave us a transponder code. The first officer read back the runway crossing clearance and the tower frequency, but requested that the transponder code be read again. The ground controller clarified the transponder code and we continued to taxi across runway 4L after clearing ourselves visually. After switching to tower frequency, the tower told us we had not been cleared to cross the runway. We replied that we had and had read that back to the ground controller. The tower controller informed us that only the tower controller can give you clearance to cross a runway. This is not specified on any of the commercial pages. There was no conflict with other traffic.
