The Riviera Private Driver promise

Sit back, we drive

Getting into a car with a chauffeur you don't know is a matter of trust. And trust has to be earned: our chauffeurs are trained, licensed professionals, and our vehicles are insured for passenger transport.

Our job is not just to drive you from A to B: it is a discreet presence, attentive service and the certainty of being in good hands. Every detail matters, and we take care of it for you.

MAPIC

What we do for you

MAPIC brings retailers, landlords and investors in retail property to Cannes. The Palais des Festivals hosts its business meetings, between stands and scheduled appointments. Your MAPIC Cannes chauffeur arranges your Nice Airport transfer, your trips around town and your return, so that you can keep your mind on your deals.

  1. 01

    A compact show

    At the last edition, MAPIC ran for two days. Doors opened at 8.30 am, or 8 am for exhibitors, and closed at 7 pm. With so little time on site, we match each journey to your first and last meetings. Your evening flight stays within reach.

  2. 02

    Scheduled meetings

    The show organises business meetings through its DealMaker service. Send us the programme you get, with the meetings booked away from the Palais. The chauffeur prepares your journeys ahead of time and takes you from one address to the next while you go over your figures.

  3. 03

    Viewing a location

    If you are showing a unit or a shopping centre to a retailer, in Nice, Antibes or Sophia Antipolis, we drive you there. The chauffeur stays close by during the visit, then drops you back at the show for the rest of your meetings.

  4. 04

    From the station

    Cannes station is 8 minutes on foot from the Palais, according to the organiser. That is very simple with a small suitcase. If you arrive as a group, or with models and files, we meet you off the train. See also Business and conferences.

Tailor-made

A group or a special request?

Several vehicles, guests to look after, a programme over several days: tell us what you need and we will prepare a tailor-made quote.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

What are the dates of MAPIC 2027?

Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 November 2027, according to the organiser, for the 32nd edition. The last one, the 31st, took place on 3 and 4 November 2026 at the Palais des Festivals. Write to us as soon as you know your flights, and we keep your request.

What are the price and time from Nice Airport?

From Nice Airport, the drive to the Palais takes about 40 minutes with a private driver. The fixed price begins at €110 in an E-Class. Our winter rate, in force from 1 November to the end of February, covers these dates, and this amount already allows for it.

Where do you stop, and where should I meet you?

The car stops right by the entrance, wherever traffic allows. As stopping is limited on the Croisette, the chauffeur stays a little further on. You call them as you leave your last meeting.

Can the chauffeur stay available for the two days?

Yes. A chauffeur at your disposal keeps the car with you from morning to evening, between the Palais, your lunches and your visits. This helps when not all your meetings are at the show. The price is by the hour: €80 an hour in an E-Class, €100 an hour in a V-Class, €120 an hour in an S-Class (4 h minimum), with 25 km included per hour.

Can you look after a retailer I am inviting?

Yes. Send us the person's name, flight and hotel. We drive them to your stand or your meeting, and your company pays for the journey. Give us their departure time as well, and we take them back to the airport.

Can I come for a single day from Paris?

Yes, if your flights allow it. The chauffeur meets you on arrival, leaves you at the Palais and returns for your evening flight. Each way has a fixed price, and you have nothing to organise on site.
