From Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, Èze, Menton and Saint-Tropez are all within reach by road, but journey times vary with the season and events. This category of the Aura Journal compares the ways of reaching your destination on the Riviera: bus, train, helicopter where it exists, taxi or private chauffeur, with journey times and prices taken from the official websites and dated.
We add practical advice: where to meet your chauffeur at the airport, how to get around during major events, when to allow extra time. Our transfers from Nice airport to Nice and to Monaco are at a fixed price; other destinations on the French Riviera are on quotation, always with a price confirmed before booking, a bilingual chauffeur (French and English) in a suit and no night or weekend surcharge.
