The Château de la Napoule and its towers by the sea at sunset

The Château de la Napoule

In Mandelieu, the red rocks of the Esterel run down to the sea. The town has its marinas, its two golf courses and, every February, its mimosa festival.

Discover Mandelieu-la-Napoule

The château and San Peyre

The Château de la Napoule stands at the water's edge. Its towers date from the Middle Ages, but what you visit comes from an American couple, Henry and Marie Clews, who bought what was left of it in 1918. Marie designed the gardens, which hold the Jardin Remarquable label and end in terraces above the sea. Inside, visits are by guided tour only. For the view over the bay, climb San Peyre just behind, an old volcano 131 metres high.

The golf courses and the mimosa

The Old Course golf club was founded in 1891 by Grand Duke Michael of Russia. During a round, you cross the Siagne by ferry. The Riviera Golf de Barbossi opened a hundred years later, on the old polo ground, with views of the Esterel. In February, mimosa flowers on the Tanneron hills, and flower parades go through the town.

Our chauffeur services in Mandelieu-la-Napoule

Getting here and leaving

Private jets land at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport, reserved for business aviation, and we wait for you at the terminal. From Nice Airport, the A8 brings you here in about 45 minutes, for a fixed fare from €110. After your TGV arrives at Cannes station, we drive you to Mandelieu in about twenty minutes.

At the golf club and on the quays

We drop golfers at the clubhouse, bags included, at the Old Course and at Barbossi alike. Your chauffeur is back for the end of your round. With four players and their bags, choose the V-Class. For boat owners, we stop on the quay, right beside the boat, at La Napoule, La Rague or Cannes Marina.

A day in Mandelieu

After golf or the château, lunch is by the harbour at La Napoule. In the afternoon, the Corniche d'Or follows the red rocks to Théoule-sur-Mer, about ten minutes away. In the evening, Mougins is only a quarter of an hour off for dinner. To continue the outing beyond Théoule-sur-Mer, ask us about a trip into the Esterel.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Mandelieu-la-Napoule?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €120 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €150 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €180 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€110 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 Mandelieu-la-Napoule?

About 45 minutes to reach Mandelieu-la-Napoule (33 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.

Do you collect private jet passengers at Cannes-Mandelieu?

Yes. When you book, give us the expected arrival time and the aircraft registration. Your chauffeur waits for you at the business aviation terminal.

Can you drive us from Mandelieu to Saint-Tropez?

Yes, in about an hour and forty minutes by motorway, longer on summer days. The price depends on the vehicle and is shown before 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.
