Marseille, the Old Port and Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde
Marseille grew up around a cove where Greek sailors landed around 600 BC. A Nice to Marseille transfer usually ends at a train, a plane or a cruise ship.
Discover Marseille
The Old Port
The Old Port still fills that inlet, which the Greeks called Lacydon. Since 2013, half of its traffic lanes have been handed over to pedestrians. At the end of the Quai des Belges, a large polished-metal canopy, designed by Norman Foster's team, mirrors the people walking beneath it. Today the harbour is mostly home to pleasure boats.
The Bonne Mère
On a rocky outcrop south of the port, the basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde looks down over the city and the sea. Locals call it the Bonne Mère, the Good Mother. On top of its bell tower stands an eleven-metre gilded copper Virgin. On a very clear day, you can make out Mont Ventoux from up there.
Our chauffeur services in Marseille
Getting here and away
Nice Airport is 2 h 20 min from Marseille, almost all of it on the motorway. The fare, from €450, is set when you book. A break on the way is possible, just ask. Marseille Provence Airport is at Marignane, 25 km from the centre, on the shore of the Étang de Berre. The trip back from Marseille to Nice, or on to Monaco, is booked the same way.
Cruise ship or TGV
Cruise ships do not leave from the Old Port but from the docks further north. We drop you at the terminal shown on your cruise ticket, luggage and all. A family with plenty of bags travels in a V-Class, everyone in the same car. For a TGV, we leave you outside Saint-Charles station, with time to spare before the train.
A day in Marseille
From the Old Port, shuttle boats head out to the Château d'If and the Frioul islands. Take one in the morning, then climb up to the Bonne Mère in the afternoon. If you are heading back that evening, our excursion service picks you up at the agreed address and drives you back to the coast.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Marseille?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €500 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €600 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €750 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€450 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 Marseille?
About 2 h 20 min to reach Marseille (194 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 also leave from Cannes, Monaco or Antibes for Marseille?
Yes. We leave from anywhere on the French Riviera, at the address you give us: hotel, villa, station or port. The fare for your trip is shown before you book.
Can your private driver from Nice take us to Marseille Provence Airport?
Yes. We leave you outside your terminal at Marignane, with time to check in your luggage.
Can you drive us from Cannes to the port of Marseille for a cruise?
Yes. We drop you at your ship's terminal with your luggage, and we can come back for you when the cruise ends.
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.
