Fixed fare · Advance booking only
Your private driver takes you from the centre of Nice or from the airport to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, in a Tesla Model 3, at a fixed fare, along the Basse Corniche. The peninsula of villas, coastal path and beaches, ten kilometres from Nice.
Between the bay of Villefranche and the bay of Beaulieu, Cap Ferrat is a peninsula of pines and gardens hiding some of the most famous villas in the world, a small fishing harbour, three beaches and a path that goes all the way round at the water's edge. The Ephrussi de Rothschild villa, on the ridge, is its monument; the village of Saint-Jean, in the hollow of the harbour, is its heart. Twenty minutes from Nice, it is the most elegant walk on the coast.
The peninsula almost empty, the coastal path to yourself, the Ephrussi villa without a queue, sharp light on the two bays. Some harbour restaurants close in January.
The gardens of the Ephrussi villa at their peak in April and May, the first swims, the path among the flowering cistus. The ideal time.
The beaches, the harbour in the evening, the grand villas occupied. The peninsula stays quieter than Nice; plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the Basse Corniche is clear.
Warm water until October, golden light on the bay, a pleasant path until November. The Cap gets its residents and its silence back in September.
About ten kilometres separate Nice from Saint-Jean. I go through the port of Nice then along the Basse Corniche, which skirts Mont Boron and follows the bay of Villefranche, before taking the road onto the peninsula: the most direct route, with the view over the bay and the Cap on arrival. At rush hour, the Moyenne Corniche and the descent to Beaulieu avoid the seafront. No tolls. On arrival, I drop you at the exact address of your choice: hotel, villa, harbour, beach or the Ephrussi villa.
To Nice
Same €50 fixed fare the other way, to Nice city centre or the airport, no surcharge. Recommended pick-up: Your hotel or any address in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
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.
On Cap Ferrat, I drop you in front of your hotel or villa, at the harbour, at the Ephrussi villa or at the beach of your choice: the roads of the peninsula are narrow but all accessible.
