Le Lavandou harbour and the town at the foot of the hills

Le Lavandou harbour

Le Lavandou is a former fishing village at the foot of the Maures hills. Its beaches look out to the Golden Isles.

Discover Le Lavandou

Twelve beaches

The town has twelve sandy beaches along twelve kilometres of coast, from L'Anglade to Pramousquier. Offshore, you can see the islands of Port-Cros and Le Levant. The name is thought to come not from lavender but from a washhouse. A painting from 1736, kept at the town hall, shows fishermen's wives washing their linen by the water.

The painters of Saint-Clair

In 1891, the painter Henri-Edmond Cross discovered the beach at Saint-Clair and had a house built there. Signac and Matisse visited him in 1904. Later, Nicolas de Staël painted some forty small canvases on the beaches of Le Lavandou. Out at sea, many whales and dolphins pass along the coast, hence the nickname "city of dolphins and whales".

Our chauffeur services in Le Lavandou

Getting here and away

From Nice Airport, allow 2 h 10 min to Le Lavandou. The price is known when you book, from €405. We take you to the harbour, your hotel or your rental, from Saint-Clair to Cavalière. With several people or plenty of luggage, choose the V-Class. When you leave, your flight time tells us when to collect you.

The boat to the islands

The ferries leave from the harbour's boat terminal for Port-Cros and Le Levant, all year round. We drop you at the boarding point, and your chauffeur is back on the quay in time for your return boat. In summer, book the crossing ahead, at the same time as your journeys with us.

A day in Le Lavandou

Take the morning boat to Port-Cros and spend the day on the island. When you get back, swim at Saint-Clair or Aiguebelle. In the evening, go up for dinner in Bormes-les-Mimosas, on the next hill, and the car brings you back down to Le Lavandou afterwards. For a day along the coast by car, see our excursion service.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Le Lavandou?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €450 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €550 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €700 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€405 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 Le Lavandou?

About 2 h 10 min to reach Le Lavandou (117 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.

Will you wait for us when the Port-Cros boat comes back?

Yes. Give us your return time, and your chauffeur is at the harbour when you arrive.

Can you take us to a particular beach?

Yes, from Saint-Clair to Pramousquier. Tell us which one when you book.

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.
