Private chauffeur for Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez

At the end of September the tourist season is running out of steam, but the regatta draws thousands of visitors and the entrance to the peninsula remains slow at peak hours, especially at weekends. The ride from Nice, about 105 kilometres, normally takes between an hour forty and two hours, and can exceed two and a half hours on days of heavy attendance. The chauffeur chooses the approach according to live traffic.

The Nice to Saint-Tropez transfer page details the journey times by season. If time matters more than budget, a helicopter transfer is possible on request from Nice.

During the regatta the harbour quays are occupied by boats, shore crews and the public. Car access is limited around the old harbour and neighbouring streets are saturated. The chauffeur drops you at an accessible point near the quay or the hotel, from where you finish on foot, and plans the pickup point in advance. Give us the name of your boat or your accommodation.

For a villa in Ramatuelle or Gassin, give the full address and gate code: the small roads of the peninsula are poorly suited to manoeuvring, and a chauffeur who knows them saves precious time.

Crews arrive through Nice Airport with their bags; owners' guests come for a few days. A V-Class van takes up to 7 passengers with their luggage, and several vehicles can be coordinated for a group arrival. Evenings at the harbour run late: book a chauffeur for the evening with an approximate finishing time, or a return set in advance.

If you plan a trip at sea after the regatta, yacht rental is arranged on request in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez: see the dedicated page.
