Private Chauffeur Between Cannes and Saint-Tropez
TAILORED · SEAMLESS · DISCREET
The Riviera Elite Standard
From Cannes to Saint-Tropez, and back
Riviera Elite Driver provides a licensed and insured private chauffeur service operated in accordance with the professional requirements for private passenger transport. Our vehicles and chauffeurs hold the required professional authorizations and are covered by the appropriate insurance for chauffeur operations. Compliance, safety and the protection of our clients are integral to our standards.
Off-season, the drive between the two towns takes about ninety minutes. In summer, when the only road that leads to Saint-Tropez fills up, the trip stretches to two hours or even two and a half. Leave the drive to a private driver: you set off from the Croisette, the harbor or your villa, and arrive exactly where you asked to go.
-
Both ways, at any hour
An early start from Cannes to board a yacht in Saint-Tropez, a ride back to the Croisette well past midnight: we drive around the clock, and your chauffeur is at your door at the agreed time.
-
Your Mercedes-Benz for the gulf road
For a group of friends heading to the beach, the V-Class seats seven; for a romantic dinner by the harbor, the S-Class makes the hour-and-a-half drive as peaceful as a private lounge.
-
Discretion in both towns
On the Croisette during the Film Festival, as on the Saint-Tropez waterfront in the middle of August, every arrival draws eyes. Your chauffeur keeps a respectful distance during your appointments, always in suit and tie, never discussing your trips with anyone.
-
By highway, or along the Corniche d’Or
The most direct route takes the highway, then drops down to the gulf and on to Saint-Tropez. If you have time, ask for the Corniche d’Or: slower, it winds between the Esterel’s red cliffs and the sea as far as Saint-Raphaël.
CANNES – SAINT-TROPEZ PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR
One way or a full day between Cannes and Saint-Tropez
A transfer takes you from one town to the other at a fixed price, in your own private car, to reach a hotel, a yacht or a meeting. To spend the day there, book hourly service and your chauffeur stays with you until the ride home, late into the night if need be.
-
Leave Cannes mid-morning, lunch at a Pampelonne beach club, toes in the sand, a stroll through the lanes of La Ponche, then back to the Croisette whenever you choose, with one chauffeur from start to finish.
-
Getting married in Ramatuelle or Gassin, with some of your guests staying in Cannes? We bring them to the ceremony, then drive them back to the Croisette once the party is over. Every one of those round trips is handled by one person.
-
Is your yacht moored in the old port of Saint-Tropez while you are staying in Cannes, or the other way around, at the Vieux Port or Port Canto? We drive the passengers of several yachts from one harbor to the other: owners, guests, and their crews.
-
Enter your pickup and drop-off addresses: the price appears within seconds, and you will not pay a single euro more if the road gets busy. For the round trip, book two transfers, or hourly service if your chauffeur needs to wait for you.

THE BIG EVENTS IN BOTH TOWNS
The Film Festival in Cannes, Les Voiles in Saint-Tropez
Each town has its signature weeks, and guests often travel from one to the other to attend.
-
May
The Cannes Film Festival, from the gulf
Staying in Saint-Tropez and walking the red carpet in Cannes? Your chauffeur sets you down as near the Palais as the security perimeter allows, waits through the screening and the party that follows, then drives you back to the gulf late in the night.
-
June
Cannes Lions
If your team stays on the gulf during Cannes Lions, we handle the drive to the Palais every morning and the ride back each evening, in several vehicles if you are a large group.
-
September
The Cannes Yachting Festival
In September, the Cannes Yachting Festival fills the Vieux Port and Port Canto. If your boat is based in Saint-Tropez, you are driven to the show after breakfast and back on board by dinnertime.
-
Late September
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
Every fall, hundreds of sailing yachts, vintage and modern alike, race off Saint-Tropez. From Cannes, we bring you to the harbor to watch the regattas, then wait until the celebrations on the quays wind down.

GOOD TO KNOW
Any questions about your Cannes – Saint-Tropez ride?
What is the driving time between Cannes and Saint-Tropez?
About an hour and a half off-season. In summer, count on two to two and a half hours, as the only road that leads to Saint-Tropez gets very busy; the drive back to Cannes takes about the same time. Your fare, however, stays the same.
Can we keep our chauffeur all day in Saint-Tropez?
Yes, by booking hourly service. Once you are at the beach or the harbor, your chauffeur parks nearby and comes to meet you whenever you call, for another stop or the return to Cannes.
And the other way, from Saint-Tropez to Cannes?
Same service: your chauffeur meets you wherever you are staying, hotel, yacht or villa, for a day of boutiques on Rue d’Antibes, a meeting at the Palais or a Festival evening, then takes you back to Saint-Tropez whenever you decide.
Between Cannes and Saint-Tropez: taxi or private chauffeur?
You find a taxi at a stand, or order one for a trip. A private chauffeur is booked ahead at a fixed price, can bring you back that same day, and is there at the hour you choose, in suit and tie, with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz of the latest generation.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Valentin, between the Croisette and the gulf
Valentin Sassi founded Riviera Elite Driver in 2016, after a career in tourism and luxury hospitality on the French Riviera. In the five-star hotels and Palaces of Cannes, he learned what great hospitality demands: attention to detail, discretion and the art of anticipation. These qualities have become his signature.
At first the only one behind the wheel, he earned the trust of hotels, partners and loyal clients, then brought together a team of professional chauffeurs who share his vision of the craft.
Since 2023, he has devoted himself entirely to his clients: he personally organizes every journey and coordinates your chauffeurs.
Day and night, seven days a week, the whole team is just a call away. For every ride, he checks that your chauffeur knows your beach club or restaurant before setting off, and will be ready for the return, however late you wish.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
