The hilltop village of Ramatuelle and its bell tower

The hilltop village of Ramatuelle and its bell tower

Ramatuelle is split between a hilltop village among the vineyards and the Bay of Pampelonne, a few kilometres below. After a day by the sea, you can head back up to the village lanes and squares in the evening.

Discover Ramatuelle

The village

The village stands 130 metres above sea level, on a spur of the Paillas hill. It was designed for defence, and you still get around it on foot through its lanes. Rebuilt in 1620, it keeps its Saracen gate and a bell tower that once served as a watchtower. The actor Gérard Philipe is buried in the cemetery. Every August since 1985, the Ramatuelle festival has taken over the open-air theatre.

Beaches and capes

The commune has more than sixteen kilometres of shoreline. Pampelonne is the famous part, with its clubs set up each season. A coastal path of about four and a half kilometres runs along the bay. Further south, Cap Camarat and Cap Taillat are protected by the Conservatoire du littoral, with L'Escalet between the two.

Our chauffeur services in Ramatuelle

Getting here and away

The motorway takes you from Nice Airport to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez in about 2 h 10 min. The fare, from €280, stays the same whatever the traffic. In July and August, we check the traffic on the beach road before setting your departure time. Saint-Tropez is about twenty minutes away.

Beach clubs and villas

Our trips here mostly lead to the Pampelonne clubs and private villas. For a club, we drop you at the entrance, on the car park side, and you leave with us at the agreed time. For a villa among the vineyards, send us the exact location when you book, and your driver comes straight there.

A day in Ramatuelle

Keep the village for the end of the day, when its lanes are in the shade. Before that, walk the Pampelonne path early, have lunch at a club and spend time on the beach. In the evening, dine here or head to Saint-Tropez. Gassin and its views over the gulf can be part of your day on the peninsula.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Ramatuelle?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €310 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €400 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €500 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€280 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 Ramatuelle?

About 2 h 10 min to reach Ramatuelle (109 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 come all the way to a villa among the vineyards?

Yes. Send us the exact location when you book, and your driver comes straight to your villa.

How do you handle the traffic in July and August?

We check the traffic on the beach road before setting your departure time. The agreed price does not change.

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.
