Cap-d'Ail villas by the sea, with the mountain behind

The Cap-d'Ail seafront

Cap-d'Ail begins where Monaco ends. Here you follow the sea on foot, from one cove to the next, below the grand Belle Époque villas.

Discover Cap-d'Ail

The coastal path

The coastal path runs for about 3.6 km. It links Marquet beach to Mala beach by way of the Pointe des Douaniers. Along the way, signs describe the plants and the marine life. Set off in the morning and save Mala for a swim: its coves lie at the foot of the slopes.

The Belle Époque villas

In the early 20th century, villas rose on the slopes, and the town became a health resort in 1921. The Lumière brothers each had one here. Greta Garbo often stayed at the villa The Rock, and Sacha Guitry bought Les Funambules in 1911. The Château des Terrasses, bought back by the town in 2001, is now hired out for receptions.

Our chauffeur services in Cap-d'Ail

Getting here and away

From Nice Airport, we reach Cap-d'Ail in 40 minutes. The price is fixed, from €115, luggage included. If there are several of you, take the V-Class, which carries up to seven people together. On departure day, we work out your pickup time from your flight.

On Monaco's doorstep

The harbour at Cap-d'Ail adjoins Fontvieille, the western district of Monaco. For a meeting in Monte-Carlo or dinner on Casino Square, we collect you from your hotel or the harbour, then bring you back. For the Grand Prix weekend, book your journeys early: the roads into the Principality are very busy. For a walk, we drop you at one end of the path and pick you up at the other.

A day in Cap-d'Ail

Start with the path, early, before the heat. Then swim at Mala, and have lunch in Monaco, a few minutes away. In the afternoon, we take you to Èze, on its rock above the sea. At the end of the day, the Basse Corniche brings you back to your hotel along the shore.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Cap-d'Ail?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €130 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €160 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €190 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€115 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 Cap-d'Ail?

About 40 minutes to reach Cap-d'Ail (36 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.

Can you leave us at one end of the coastal path?

Yes. We leave you at one end and come back for you at the other, at the agreed time.

Can you drive us to and from Monaco all day?

Yes. Book a chauffeur at your disposal, and the same driver takes you from one meeting to the next.

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.
