Premium private chauffeur in Nice

Driver & Butler provides professional private chauffeurs in Nice and across the French Riviera. Founded in Nantes and operating since 2017, we pick you up at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, Nice-Ville station, the port, your hotel or your office, in a Mercedes sedan or van, for a transfer, a day of meetings or an excursion to Monaco, Cannes or the hill villages.

The price is fixed and known before you book: our engine calculates it as soon as you enter your journey. No surge pricing, even during the Carnival or the Monaco Grand Prix: night, weekend and public holiday surcharges are set in advance and shown in the quote. Tolls, if any, are extra.

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, Nice-Ville station and the port

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), France's third-busiest airport, sits on the seafront west of the city, at the far end of the Promenade des Anglais. It has two terminals, T1 and T2, linked by a free tram; Terminal 2 has just been extended (opened in April 2026). In summer 2026 it served 130 destinations in 47 countries, including seasonal long-haul routes to North America (New York, Boston, Montreal) and the Middle East (Dubai). Transfers between the airport and the city centre or the station are charged at a fixed price (see the sample prices above).

Give your flight number and terminal when you book: your chauffeur follows your actual arrival time. As an option, your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign.

Nice-Ville station, on avenue Thiers, a short walk from avenue Jean-Médecin, is about 5 hours 40 minutes from Paris-Gare-de-Lyon on the fastest direct TGV trains. Give your train number when you book. You can follow your flight or train live on our flight tracking and train tracking pages.

Port Lympia, below Castle Hill, handles ferries to Corsica and cruise calls. Follow your crossing on our ferry tracking page.

Business travel, meetings and conferences (MICE)

The Acropolis convention centre was demolished in 2023-2024. Since 2025, conferences in Nice have been held at OcéaNice, on quai Infernet at the port: a hall with 2,000 seats, a 1,400 m² rooftop and a 4,000 m² esplanade. It is a temporary venue and the city has announced plans to dismantle it, possibly in 2027, so check the exact venue of your event. A new exhibition and convention centre is planned in the Nice Ecovallée business district to the west, near the airport, with opening announced for 2030-2031.

Nearby, two major venues host trade fairs and conventions: in Cannes, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès (the Cannes Film Festival in May, MIPIM in March, Cannes Lions in June, MIPCOM in October), and in Monaco, the Grimaldi Forum. Between Nice and Cannes, the Sophia Antipolis technology park is home to many companies and research centres.

For companies, agencies and event organisers:

• transfers between the airport, the station, the port, hotels and event venues, in sedans and vans;
• chauffeur by the hour or by the day for a roadshow between Nice, Sophia Antipolis, Cannes and Monaco;
• corporate account with monthly invoicing and negotiated rates;
• Factur-X (EN 16931) electronic invoices and the carbon footprint of every ride, calculated with the ADEME method.

For an event or regular volume, tell us what you need on our business and partners page.

Extend your stay: Nice and the Riviera with a chauffeur

A conference on Thursday, a weekend in the sun: with a chauffeur, you can explore the Riviera without worrying about parking or train times.

• Nice, a World Heritage city: since July 2021, "Nice, Winter Resort Town of the Riviera" has been on the UNESCO list. The listed area runs from the Promenade des Anglais to Mont Boron and the Cimiez hills, taking in Place Masséna, the port and the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicholas.
• Art museums: in Cimiez, the Matisse Museum occupies a 17th-century Genoese villa among the olive trees; the painter lived in Nice from 1917 until his death in 1954. The Marc Chagall National Museum is on the same hill.
• Niçois cooking: socca, pissaladière, petits farcis and pan bagnat, at the Cours Saleya market or in restaurants holding the "Cuisine Nissarde" label. On the city's own hillsides, the tiny Bellet appellation, only about 50 hectares, makes red, white and rosé wines from rare grapes such as braquet and folle noire.
• Shopping: luxury boutiques in the Carré d'Or around rue Paradis, department stores on avenue Jean-Médecin, olive oil and perfume in Old Nice; and in Monaco, the Casino district.
• Èze and Monaco: Èze, a hilltop village 427 m above the sea, with its botanical garden; then Monte-Carlo, its casino and the Rock.
• Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Grasse: 16th-century ramparts and the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul; in Grasse, the historic perfume houses offer tours, and the perfume-making skills of the Pays de Grasse have been on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list since 2018.

Highlights of the year: the Nice Carnival in February (9 to 28 February 2027, Place Masséna), the Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix (4 to 6 June 2027) and the Nice Jazz Festival in late July at the Théâtre de Verdure.
