Golfe-Juan harbour and its boats, with the town and hills behind

Golfe-Juan harbour

Golfe-Juan is the seaside of Vallauris. People come for the harbour, the beaches and the view of the Lérins Islands, then head up to the old pottery town.

Discover Golfe-Juan and Vallauris

Picasso and ceramics

In Vallauris, pottery kept the town going for centuries. After the war, Picasso settled here and gave the workshops a new lease of life. He gave the town L'Homme au mouton in 1950, then the large painting War and Peace, set in the château that became a national museum. A few workshops remain, and the Musée Magnelli shows the ceramics of today.

Napoleon's gulf

On 1 March 1815, Napoleon landed on this beach on his return from Elba. A column topped with his bust marks the spot where he sat under an olive tree. The Théâtre de la Mer bears the name of Jean Marais, who lived in Vallauris from 1980 until his death. Vallauris is also the only town in France where the bitter orange tree is still grown to distil its blossom.

Our chauffeur services in Golfe-Juan and Vallauris

Getting here and away

From Nice Airport, Golfe-Juan is 30 minutes away, at a fixed price from €80. The little Golfe-Juan-Vallauris station only sees regional TER trains. If you travel by TGV, get off at Cannes or Antibes, and your chauffeur meets you at the exit. For a family or a group, the V-Class welcomes up to seven passengers and their suitcases. On departure day, give us your flight time.

From the harbour to the workshops

For an evening at the harbour, we drop you outside the restaurant and return at the hour you set. For the Vallauris workshops, the car leaves you in the centre and picks you up once the shopping is done. Your ceramics travel snugly in the boot back to the hotel. A show at the Théâtre de la Mer ends late: we wait until the end to bring you back.

A day in Golfe-Juan

In the morning, go up to see War and Peace at the château. Then have lunch at the harbour, facing the islands. After lunch, our excursion service heads along the coast towards Juan-les-Pins and the Cap d'Antibes.

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Golfe-Juan?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €90 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €110 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €140 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€80 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 Golfe-Juan?

About 30 minutes to reach Golfe-Juan (30 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 take us to the pottery workshops in Vallauris?

Yes. We drop you in the centre, and your purchases travel safely in the boot back to your hotel.

Do TGV trains stop at Golfe-Juan?

No, the station only has regional TER trains. Get off at Cannes or Antibes, and we pick you up there.

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.
