The village of Vence

In Vence, you wander the old town among stone houses, fountains and small squares. People come for a stroll, to visit the galleries or to have lunch on a terrace.

Discover Vence

The old town

The 13th-century Porte du Peyra leads in, and the square beside it keeps its fountain. The medieval lanes wrap around the cathedral, built on the site of a Roman temple. In 1979 Chagall left a mosaic here, Moses Saved from the Water. On the Place du Frêne, tradition dates the ash tree to the visit of François I in 1538, and the view reaches the baous.

Matisse's chapel

Between 1949 and 1951, Henri Matisse designed and decorated the Chapelle du Rosaire for the Dominican sisters of Vence. He saw this work as his masterpiece. Everything comes down to the light of the stained glass on the white walls. At the entrance to the old town, the Place du Grand Jardin opens out under its plane trees.

Our chauffeur services in Vence

Getting here and away

Vence has no railway station. The TER stops in Cagnes-sur-Mer, the TGV in Antibes or Nice, and we handle the rest of the journey to your address. From Nice Airport, allow about 30 minutes. Your fare is set before you leave, from €100.

Around the chapel

The Chapelle du Rosaire is on Avenue Henri-Matisse, and its opening days and hours change with the season. Check its website before you book, and we will fit the car around your visit. If you are staying on the coast, we collect you from your hotel for the day and plan the return in the evening. A full day leaves room for Saint-Paul-de-Vence, on the same road.

A day in Vence

The chapel comes first, since its opening days decide the plan. Then walk to the Porte du Peyra and see the old town on foot, as far as the Chagall mosaic. Have lunch in the lanes or near the Grand Jardin. In the afternoon, a trip to Tourrettes-sur-Loup extends the day to the west.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Vence?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €110 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €140 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €170 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€100 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 Vence?

About 30 minutes to reach Vence (17 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 take us to the Matisse chapel?

Yes. Give us the time of your visit and your starting point. Check the opening days on the chapel's website first.

Can we combine Vence and Saint-Paul-de-Vence?

Yes, both are on the same road. Tell us which order you prefer, and we will plan the day.

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.
