Saint-Raphaël marina and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire basilica, with mountains behind

The marina and basilica, Saint-Raphaël

In Saint-Raphaël, the Vieux-Port and the beaches are right in the centre, and so is the TGV station. To the east, the Corniche d'Or follows the Estérel to Agay, past capes of red rock and sandy bays.

Discover Saint-Raphaël

The centre and the ports

Boats leave from the Quai Nomy, by the Vieux-Port, at the foot of the town. To the east, Port Santa Lucia takes in pleasure boats. Le Veillat remains the town-centre beach. The golf courses at Valescure are up in the hills, around the former holiday resort.

The Estérel beaches

The Corniche d'Or links the town to the Estérel through the red rock. Boulouris, Le Dramont and Agay each have a large sandy beach, and Anthéor a smaller one. Cap Roux stands 360 metres above the sea. Off Le Dramont, the Île d'Or is private, and you admire it from the shore. In August 1944, this coast served as a secondary site for the Provence landings.

Our chauffeur services in Saint-Raphaël

Getting here and away

The TGV from Paris stops at Saint-Raphaël-Valescure station, and we collect you there for Saint-Tropez or Cannes. By motorway, Nice Airport is about 1 h away. The quoted fare, from €160, does not change on the way. Boulouris, Le Dramont and Agay also have a TER station, if your stay begins on the corniche.

Towards the gulf

From April to October, Les Bateaux Bleus sail from the Vieux-Port to Saint-Tropez, leaving from the ferry terminal on the Quai Nomy. We can drop you there. The rest of the year, or with a lot of luggage, the car takes over to your address in the gulf. For your round at Valescure, we choose the vehicle to suit the number of golf bags you mention when booking.

A day in Saint-Raphaël

You can spend most of the day along the Corniche d'Or. Stop at Cap Dramont to walk above the Île d'Or, then at Agay for lunch, at the head of the bay. On the way back, keep some time for the Vieux-Port and its quay. A loop through the Estérel and the Var adds neighbouring Fréjus, or Fayence.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Saint-Raphaël?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €180 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €230 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €270 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€160 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 Saint-Raphaël?

About 1 h to reach Saint-Raphaël (63 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 pick us up at Saint-Raphaël TGV station?

Yes. Give us your train's arrival time, and the driver meets you at the station.

Is the boat or the car better for Saint-Tropez?

The boat runs from April to October, on a fixed timetable. The car leaves at the time you choose and drops you at your address.

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.
