Fixed fare · Advance booking only
Your private driver takes you from the centre of Nice or from the airport to Saint-Jeannet, in a Tesla Model 3, at a fixed fare, through the Var valley. The village at the foot of the baou, its vines and its trails, twenty kilometres from Nice.
Above the Var plain, under a 400-metre cliff visible from the whole coast, Saint-Jeannet is a Provençal village of winegrowers and artists: vaulted lanes, fountains, a church with a square bell tower, one of the last vineyards of the Nice country, and the baou, the table mountain that Poussin painted and that walkers and climbers scale all year round. Twenty-five minutes from the airport, the hinterland is within reach.
Sharp light on the cliff, the sea and the Alps from the baou, the village for its residents. The season for walkers and climbers.
The terraces in bloom, the vines budding, the trails through the thyme. The best time to climb the baou.
The relative coolness of the altitude in the evening, the Saint-Jean festival in late June, the terraces of the small squares. Climb the baou early in the morning; plan the pick-up early, when the road is clear.
The grape harvest in September, the olives in November, golden light on the cliff. Saint-Jeannet returns to its rhythm in September.
Some twenty kilometres separate Nice from Saint-Jeannet. From the centre, I take the expressway to the airport, then the route de Grenoble along the Var and the climb through La Gaude, with the cliff growing ahead; depending on the traffic, the A8 motorway to Cagnes and the Vence road. On arrival, I drop you on place Sainte-Barbe, in front of your guest house or at the start of the baou trail.
