Fixed fare · Advance booking only
Your private driver takes you from the centre of Nice or from the airport to Le Cannet, in a Tesla Model 3, at a fixed fare, by the A8 motorway. Bonnard's village on the hills of Cannes, thirty kilometres from Nice.
On the hills overlooking Cannes, Le Cannet is a town apart: an old Provençal village with ochre façades and stairway lanes, Belle Époque villas in gardens, and the memory of Pierre Bonnard, who painted here for twenty years and to whom the town has devoted its museum. Ten minutes from the Croisette, it is the address for sleeping in peace near Cannes, with the bay below the windows.
Le Cannet's historic season: mild weather on the hills, the museum without a queue, Cannes quiet below. Hotels are at their lowest.
The gardens in bloom, Bonnard's light on the village, the Cannes Festival in May filling the hills. Book early that week.
Evenings on place Bellevue, the relative coolness of the hill, Cannes ten minutes away for the beaches. Plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the motorway is clear.
Golden light on the bay, museum exhibitions, the village handed back to its residents. Le Cannet returns to its rhythm in September.
Some thirty kilometres separate Nice from Le Cannet. I take the A8 motorway to the Cannes-centre / Le Cannet exit, then the road drops down to the village or climbs to the hills depending on your address: the fastest and most reliable route. Tolls are included in the fare. On arrival, I drop you at the exact address of your choice: hotel, villa, Bonnard museum or place Bellevue for the old village.
To Nice
Same €75 fixed fare the other way, to Nice city centre or the airport, no surcharge. Recommended pick-up: Your hotel or any address in Le Cannet.
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 Le Cannet, I drop you in front of your hotel, your villa or the Bonnard museum. The old village, around rue Saint-Sauveur and place Bellevue, is partly pedestrian and on a slope: I drop you on place Bellevue or boulevard Sadi-Carnot, two minutes' walk away.
