The French Riviera: five destinations from Cannes

The French Riviera is a mosaic of exceptional destinations, each with its own distinct character. From Cannes, everything is within reach in under ninety minutes with a private chauffeur — no parking stress, no tiring mountain roads, just pure enjoyment. Here are five must-see stops to include in your itinerary.

1. Monaco — 55 km, ~45 minutes

visitmonaco.com barely scratches the surface of this remarkable principality. The Rock, the Prince's Palace, the Oceanographic Museum and the Grand Casino in Monte-Carlo are all worth at least half a day. Enjoy lunch at the port of Fontvieille or dinner overlooking the Hercules Harbour. Our Monaco to Cannes transfer brings you back relaxed, from €120.

Not to miss in Monaco:

  • The Oceanographic Museum with its spectacular aquariums
  • The exotic garden perched on the Rock
  • The Historic Grand Prix (May, even-numbered years)
  • The boutiques of Galerie du Métropole

2. Antibes–Juan-les-Pins — 10 km, ~15 minutes

Just 10 km from Cannes, Old Antibes, its medieval ramparts and the Picasso Museum offer a rich cultural programme. In summer, the Juan-les-Pins beach and its international jazz festivals draw crowds from across the world. Antibes is also the departure point for many charter yachts heading to the Lérins Islands.

3. Saint-Tropez — 75 km, ~1h15

A Riviera icon. Place des Lices, the harbour, the citadel and the beaches of Pampelonne are worth every kilometre. In high season (July–August), the traffic is relentless; having your chauffeur handle the journey saves you hours of frustration. Our Saint-Tropez transfer starts from €150.

4. Èze — hilltop village at 427 m

Located halfway between Nice and Monaco, the medieval village of Èze offers a breathtaking panoramic view over the Mediterranean. It is home to local artisans (perfumers, ceramicists), a remarkable exotic garden and some of the most photographed viewpoints on the Riviera. Perfect for a cultural pause during a transfer between Cannes and Monaco.

5. The Lérins Islands — 15 minutes from Cannes harbour

Reachable by boat from the old port of Cannes, the Lérins Islands are an oasis of calm right beside the buzz of the Croisette:

  • Sainte-Marguerite Island — Fort Royal, pine forests, wild beaches
  • Saint-Honorat Island — Cistercian abbey still in operation, monastic vineyard

A genuinely restorative natural escape, best combined with lunch on the monastery terrace.
