Fixed fare · Advance booking only
Your private driver takes you from the centre of Nice or from the airport to Cannes, in a Tesla Model 3, at a fixed fare, by the A8 motorway. The town of the Festival, its Croisette and its islands, some thirty kilometres from Nice.
Cannes is known worldwide for ten days in May, but it is a town to visit all year round: a bay facing due south, closed by the Lérins islands and the red Esterel massif, a seafront of palaces and sandy beaches, and behind it a Provençal town with its market, its old quarter on the hill and its shopping streets. Everything is flat and on foot, from the Palais des Festivals to the Suquet.
Mild weather, sunny terraces, an almost empty Croisette and hotels at their best prices. The Christmas market sets up on the allées de la Liberté in December. The best time for the town itself.
The Festival, in mid-May, brings the whole world for ten days: rooms are scarce, the Croisette is closed, the atmosphere is unique. Before and after, April and June are ideal: light, islands, first swims.
The beaches, the islands, the fireworks and the evenings on the harbour. The town is full but made for it. Plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the motorway is clear.
Water still warm until October, Yachting Festival then Régates Royales in September, MIPCOM in October. After mid-October, Cannes calms down and the light on the Esterel is the finest of the year.
Some thirty kilometres separate Nice from Cannes. I take the A8 motorway to the Cannes-centre exit, then boulevard Carnot runs straight down to the sea: the fastest and most reliable route, away from the seafront traffic between Antibes and Golfe-Juan. Tolls are included in the fare. On arrival, I drop you at the exact address of your choice: hotel on the Croisette, station, harbour, or the Suquet as close as possible to the pedestrian lanes.
To Nice
Same €65 fixed fare the other way, to Nice city centre or the airport, no surcharge. Recommended pick-up: Cannes railway station, your hotel or any address in town.
In the centre of Nice, I pick you up at the address you give: hotel, apartment, Nice-Ville railway station (drop-off point on avenue Thiers) or the port. Enter the exact address in the form; I confirm the precise spot by email.
In Cannes, I drop you in front of your hotel on the Croisette or at the address of your choice. During the Festival, in May, and the major congresses, the Croisette is closed to traffic in sections: I drop you as close as possible, a few dozen metres away, and show you the way. The Suquet is partly pedestrian: drop-off at place de la Castre or rue Georges-Clemenceau. On event days, allow ten to fifteen extra minutes.
