The hilltop village of Châteauneuf-Grasse above the olive groves

The village of Châteauneuf-Grasse

Châteauneuf stands on its hill between Grasse and Valbonne. The official name is Châteauneuf-Grasse, but locally everyone just says Châteauneuf.

Discover Châteauneuf-Grasse

Notre-Dame du Brusc

Notre-Dame du Brusc dates from the 11th century. It stands on the remains of a basilica, itself built over a 5th-century church. Restored, then listed as a historic monument in 1986, it now hosts concerts and plays. An evening performance is a good chance to see inside.

The hilltop village

The place first appears in 1153 as Castello Novo, the "new castle". The 17th-century church of Saint-Martin rises above the rooftops. Its single nave is vaulted, with stucco work and Baroque altars. South-west of the village, the Trinité chapel was built on an ancient fanum, a small temple from Antiquity.

Our chauffeur services in Châteauneuf-Grasse

Getting here and away

At Nice Airport, your chauffeur greets you, then drives you to Châteauneuf in 40 minutes. The fixed price starts at €115. By train, the nearest station is Grasse, on the line from Cannes. We meet you there off the regional train.

A concert at Le Brusc

For a concert at Notre-Dame du Brusc, we drop you outside the chapel and come back when the performance ends. The roads in these hills are narrow and poorly lit, and the drive home at night is more relaxed with a chauffeur. If you are staying in a villa nearby, give us the exact address and the gate code. For a group of friends, the V-Class saves taking several cars.

A day in Châteauneuf

Walk up to Saint-Martin in the morning, while the village is quiet. Then have lunch in Opio or Valbonne, a few minutes away. Later on, the excursion service drives you up to the perfume houses in Grasse, or to Gourdon for the view of the coast.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Châteauneuf-Grasse?

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 Châteauneuf-Grasse?

About 40 minutes to reach Châteauneuf-Grasse (35 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.

Are Châteauneuf and Châteauneuf-Grasse the same place?

Yes. The official name is Châteauneuf-Grasse, but locally people say Châteauneuf. Either name works when you book.

Can you bring us back after a concert at Notre-Dame du Brusc?

Yes. Give us the expected finishing time, and your chauffeur waits for you at the exit.

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.
