Hôtel Byblos, Saint-Tropez

Brigitte Bardot and Mireille Darc were the godmothers of the Hôtel Byblos, opened in Saint-Tropez on 27 May 1967, a short walk from the Place des Lices. Landing late? A Nice airport to Byblos transfer runs at any hour, night included.

The hotel and its neighbourhood

A hamlet with a Lebanese name

Its founder, the Lebanese hotelier Jean-Prosper Gay-Para, named it after a port in Lebanon. Work began in 1965, in the middle of a fishing village. The hotel took the shape of a hamlet: small houses joined together, Roman-tiled roofs, wrought-iron balconies, paved squares and fountains.

Les Caves du Roy, since 1967

In July 1967, the Caves du Roy nightclub opened inside the hotel. The following year, the crew of Le Gendarme se marie, with Louis de Funès, stayed here during filming.

Our chauffeur services at Hôtel Byblos

Up to the Place des Lices

At three in the morning as at noon, a chauffeur is waiting for you at Nice Airport: we run day and night. Plan on 2 h 10 min on the road, at a fare set when you book, from €280. In the village, the car reaches the Place des Lices and leaves you as close to the Byblos as it can, with your luggage.

Home in the early hours

Les Caves du Roy are under your own roof. For dinner elsewhere on the gulf, your private driver from the Byblos takes you there and brings you back whenever suits you, however late. A message is enough to bring the return forward or push it back. For a private party, our events service coordinates several cars for your guests.

From the village to the beach

In the morning, the cafés of the Place des Lices are a short walk away. In the afternoon, the car drops you at a Pampelonne club, then collects you for the drive back into old Saint-Tropez before dinner.

Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Hôtel Byblos?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €310 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €400 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €500 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€280 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.

How long does it take from Nice Airport to Hôtel Byblos?

About 2 h 10 min to reach Hôtel Byblos (108 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.

Our plane lands in Nice at around 2 a.m.: can a private driver take us to the Byblos?

Yes. We work day and night, and your pick-up time follows your actual landing time.

After an evening at Les Caves du Roy, how do we get back to our villa?

Let the chauffeur know before you leave: the car collects you outside the hotel and drives you home, whatever the hour.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.

How do I pay?

Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.

What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?

A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
