French Riviera chauffeur blog
Practical guides from the people who drive the coast every day: airports, events, group trips and day tours from Nice.
Notes from the road, not brochures
This blog is written from the driver’s seat. We spend our days between Nice Côte d’Azur airport, the Croisette, the Monaco tunnels and the hill villages, and the same questions come up in the car every week. How long does it really take to reach Monaco on a Friday in July? Where does a 16-seat minibus drop a group in Saint-Paul-de-Vence? Is a VTC the same thing as a chauffeur company?
We answer those questions here, in three kinds of articles.
Travel guides. Day trips from Nice, realistic drive times, which villages are pedestrian and where you get dropped off, what to ask before you hire a driver.
Event logistics. How to move wedding guests, seminar delegates or a film festival team without losing anyone between the hotel and the venue. Vehicle plans, driver hours, timelines.
Airport tips. Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, what happens when your flight is late, how meet and greet works for a group arriving on several flights.
Every article sticks to facts we can check: distances, road closures, local rules. If something depends on the season or the day, we say so. The latest posts are listed below.
