Harbour and town centre, Sainte-Maxime
Sainte-Maxime faces Saint-Tropez from the other side of the gulf. Visit the Tour Carrée facing the sea, then cross the bay by boat or head to the sandy beaches stretching to La Nartelle.
Discover Sainte-Maxime
The Tour Carrée
Around the year 1000, monks from the Lérins Islands founded a first village here. In the early 16th century, they raised the Tour Carrée to protect it, with a battery of cannons facing the gulf. The building later served as a granary, a prison, a school and a town hall. It is now the house of traditions, which you see on a guided tour.
Beaches and heights
East of the centre, the long beach at La Nartelle suits children, and the east wind brings windsurfers. Les Bateaux Verts cross the gulf to Saint-Tropez in 15 to 20 minutes, ten months a year. The Sainte-Maxime golf course has 18 holes above the bay, with the first nine running downhill towards the town.
Our chauffeur services in Sainte-Maxime
Getting here and away
Sainte-Maxime is on the north shore of the gulf, the first you reach coming from Nice. It takes about 1 h 35 min from Nice Airport, by the A8 and then the gulf road. The amount, from €245, no longer changes once the trip is booked. For arrivals by TGV, we meet you in Saint-Raphaël, the nearest station to Sainte-Maxime.
Boat or car
To get to Saint-Tropez, the boat saves you the drive around the gulf. We take you to the boarding point for your departure, with another pick-up arranged when your boat returns. For an address in Ramatuelle or Gassin, it is better to stay in the car, especially with luggage.
A day in Sainte-Maxime
Your day can include a return boat trip to Saint-Tropez. Leave after a visit to the Tour Carrée, have lunch on the far side of the gulf, then come back by boat. Keep the end of the afternoon for La Nartelle. The boats do not run all year, so check the timetable before you set out. A tour of the gulf by car replaces the boat and goes through Port-Grimaud and Grimaud.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Sainte-Maxime?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €275 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €330 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €450 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€245 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 Sainte-Maxime?
About 1 h 35 min to reach Sainte-Maxime (93 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 drop us at the boat boarding point?
Yes. Tell us the time of your boat, and we drop you at the departure point in good time.
Do you come out to La Nartelle?
Yes. We drop you at the address you give us, at La Nartelle, in the town centre or near the golf course.
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.
