Signature itinerary
Riviera & Provence
From Nice to Saint-Tropez via Cannes and Aix-en-Provence
Five days across the Riviera and Provence, with the right cabriolet for the corniche and an SUV ready for the lavender fields. Your advisor prepares car and documents, and tells you what is worth booking in advance. You drive. One single vehicle for all five days: here an open-top is the natural choice, a Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet or a Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabrio.
Day 1
Arrival in Nice
Delivery at Côte d'Azur airport, drive on the Promenade des Anglais, check-in in Nice or Cap-Ferrat.
Driving notes: From the airport to the Promenade is a moment, but Nice's seafront is busy at every hour. The beautiful road starts tomorrow.
Day 2
Cap-Ferrat and Monaco
Morning on the Moyenne Corniche, lunch in Eze, afternoon in Monaco. Return via Grande Corniche at sunset.
Driving notes: Moyenne and Grande Corniche are narrow and perched, and the viewpoints fill up. Set off early and return at sunset, when the light pays you back.
Day 3
Cannes and the Esterel
Transfer via the Croisette, lunch in Cannes, scenic drive through the Esterel massif to Saint-Tropez.
Driving notes: The Esterel is a succession of bends over the sea with an excellent surface. It is the finest stretch of the itinerary and deserves to be driven slowly.
Day 4
Saint-Tropez and Ramatuelle
Morning at the port, lunch at Pampelonne, afternoon in Ramatuelle vineyards.
Driving notes: Around Saint-Tropez in summer the traffic stands still and parking is far from the centre: it pays to arrive early in the morning.
Day 5
Aix-en-Provence and return
Drive inland to Aix, lunch in the old town, drop-off at Marseille Provence or return to Nice.
Driving notes: The longest stage, with luggage and the motorway towards Aix. The only one where the average speed feels normal.
FAQ
Can I pick up in Italy and drop off in France?
Yes, it is one of the things we handle most often. Typical example: pickup at Milan Linate, drop-off in Nice or Marseille. Logistics and documents are prepared by your advisor.
Which cabriolet for the corniche?
The open-tops in the fleet are three: Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabrio and BMW Z4. Your advisor helps you pick based on driving style.
Can I add a helicopter transfer to Saint-Tropez?
Yes. We can put you in touch with partner operators: 25 minutes vs 2h30 by car. It is often a good option for one of the transfers.
