Local expertise of our chauffeurs in Nice

Nice is one of the most popular destinations in Southern Europe for VIP travellers. The city forms the gateway to the Côte d’Azur, with frequent movements between Nice, Monaco, Cannes and the surrounding hilltop villages. Our chauffeurs operate in this region on a daily basis and are familiar with coastal routes, event traffic and access restrictions around hotels, yachts and private residences.

Chauffeur availability in Nice is often limited, particularly during major events and peak season. We therefore recommend booking services well in advance to ensure availability and continuity of service.

Local expertise of our chauffeurs at Nice’s finest hotels

Nice offers a strong selection of five-star hotels that are particularly popular with international VIPs. Our chauffeurs frequently operate at these properties and are familiar with their service teams, arrival procedures and discreet access points.

Hotels our chauffeurs regularly visit include:

• Hotel Negresco
  An iconic five-star beachfront hotel built in 1913, located on the Promenade des Anglais.

• Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée
  A five-star hotel in the city centre, almost directly on the coastline.

• Boscolo Exedra Nice
  A contemporary five-star designer hotel featuring a spa and outdoor pool.

Due to high demand, these hotels often sell out quickly, especially during events. If reservations prove difficult, our office can assist with securing availability or recommending suitable alternatives.

Guidance to restaurants and fine dining venues

The region around Nice offers some of the finest dining experiences in Europe. Our chauffeurs regularly transport guests to Michelin-starred restaurants in Nice and neighbouring destinations such as Monaco and Èze.

Restaurants our chauffeurs frequently serve include:

• Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l’Hôtel de Paris
  Three Michelin stars, located in Monte Carlo, approximately forty-five minutes from Nice.

• Flaveur Nice
  Two Michelin stars, offering refined French-Mediterranean cuisine.

• La Chèvre d’Or
  Two Michelin stars, located in the hilltop village of Èze, with panoramic views over the Mediterranean.

These restaurants are often fully booked far in advance. Our office can assist with reservations and logistics, coordinating transport and timing to ensure a seamless dining experience.

Guidance to nightlife and evening venues

Nice itself is known more for its relaxed cafés and restaurants than for large nightclubs. For guests seeking an exclusive nightlife experience, our chauffeurs regularly provide VIP transport to Monaco and Cannes.

A frequently visited venue is Le Baoli Cannes, a high-profile club designed to see and be seen. Our chauffeurs are well acquainted with arrival procedures at this venue, where limousines and luxury vehicles are a familiar sight.

VIP transport during major events on the Côte d’Azur

Most major international events along the Côte d’Azur take place in and around Cannes and Monaco. During these periods, traffic restrictions, security zones and access limitations make professional chauffeur services essential. Each year, we deploy a large fleet of vehicles to support VIP guests, executives, artists and yacht owners attending events such as the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM, the Monaco Yacht Show and the Monaco Grand Prix.

During these events, our chauffeurs manage complex schedules, coordinate access to restricted areas and ensure discreet arrivals and departures at hotels, venues, yachts and private residences. Demand for chauffeur services is exceptionally high, and availability is often limited weeks or months in advance. We therefore strongly recommend booking early to secure seamless, uninterrupted VIP transport throughout the event period.

Personal assistance during luxury shopping in Nice and along the Côte d’Azur

Nice offers refined luxury shopping in a relaxed Mediterranean setting. The city’s primary high-end shopping street is Rue Paradis, where international fashion houses, jewellery boutiques and premium lifestyle brands are concentrated within walking distance of the Promenade des Anglais.

For guests seeking a broader luxury shopping experience, Nice also serves as an ideal base for shopping excursions along the Côte d’Azur. Our chauffeurs regularly transport guests to La Croisette in Cannes, home to flagship boutiques and seasonal pop-ups, as well as to Monaco, where high jewellery, watches and haute couture are clustered around Monte Carlo.

Our chauffeurs understand access restrictions, pedestrian zones and optimal drop-off points in all shopping districts. They can coordinate multi-stop shopping itineraries, wait discreetly nearby during appointments and assist with transporting purchases, allowing guests to shop comfortably and without interruption.

Private chauffeur transfers between Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and marinas

Nice is the primary gateway to the Côte d’Azur. From Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, our chauffeurs provide seamless private transfers throughout the region. We regularly transport guests between Nice, Cannes, Monaco and Saint-Tropez, as well as to villas, hotels and private residences inland.

A significant part of our work involves transfers to and from marinas and yacht harbours. Our chauffeurs are familiar with arrival procedures and access points at locations such as the Cannes harbour, Port Hercules in Monaco and the Saint-Tropez marina. Timing, discretion and coordination with crew or agents are handled carefully to ensure smooth embarkation and disembarkation.

Whether guests arrive by commercial flight, private jet or helicopter, our chauffeur service ensures a calm and secure transition from airport to destination. Long-distance transfers such as Nice to Saint-Tropez are planned with comfort in mind, allowing guests to relax, make calls or enjoy the journey along the coast while we manage traffic conditions and routing.

Seamless mobility along the Côte d’Azur

The Côte d’Azur is defined by movement: between cities, beaches, yachts, events and private residences. Our private chauffeur service provides continuity throughout this landscape, offering guests a single trusted point of contact for all ground transportation needs.

From airport arrivals to marina transfers and luxury shopping excursions, we ensure discreet, flexible and fully personalised mobility — allowing guests to focus entirely on enjoying their time in Nice and beyond.

Safety in Nice

Every year, millions of tourists flock to Nice. As in most major cities, guests must be aware of thieves and pickpockets. It is also important to keep a close eye on your belongings when you go to the beach. Aside from that danger, however, Nice is perhaps the safest city in all of France.

How do we guarantee the safety of VIPs in Nice?

Our chauffeurs in Nice know the city inside and out. They will always avoid high-risk areas. If need be, they can offer advice during the drive; they are always ready to answer any questions their guests may have.

If you have any additional wishes with regard to security, please let us know.

We will come up with a tailor-made solution. Think of e.g. the use of security drivers. We can also provide a bodyguard and/or armoured transport.
