Private Chauffeur Nice Airport to Cheval Blanc St-Tropez
TAILORED · SEAMLESS · DISCREET
The Riviera Elite Standard
Cheval Blanc, right on the sand
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.
On the Plage de la Bouillabaisse, west of the village, Cheval Blanc St-Tropez opens its rooms onto the gulf. From Nice, with your private driver, the trip lasts an hour and 45 minutes outside the summer season; in high summer, plan on two hours, if not two and a half.
-
By road or by air
Airline or private jet, most travelers land in Nice; a helicopter can also fly you straight to Saint-Tropez. Whichever way you come, the first to greet you is your chauffeur.
-
Just before the village
The hotel sits on the beach along the only road into Saint-Tropez, before you even reach the village. Your chauffeur stops right at reception, and your bags pass into the hands of the staff.
-
Between port and beach
A few minutes from the hotel, yachts moor in front of the port’s colorful facades. Their captains tell us when guests are due, and our chauffeurs handle every run between quay and hotel.
-
A house we know well
The hotel regularly welcomes our clients; its access, its hours and the gulf’s summer traffic have become second nature to us.
NICE AIRPORT TO CHEVAL BLANC ST-TROPEZ TRANSFER
From the gulf to Pampelonne
Two private car transfers, priced before you travel: one to arrive, one to leave. In between, a dedicated chauffeur, for a single outing or the whole week.
-
A morning at the market, the afternoon in Pampelonne, dinner up in Ramatuelle: your chauffeur keeps pace with your days.
-
A ceremony in Saint-Tropez, a party on the beach? We arrange each guest’s arrival, their rides through the day and their return, late into the night.
-
A trip to Monaco, dinner in Cannes, Gassin and Grimaud on their hilltops: Valentin sets up the outing with you, the return to the hotel included.
-
Enter your arrival point and time, and the price of the ride shows right away: no surprise when you arrive.
CLIENT REVIEWS
Loyal clients, five-star service

Authentic reviews on GoogleWe have used them for over 10 years as our regular chauffeur service for airport transfers and various trips around the area, both for ourselves and for our guests.

THE GULF, MAY TO OCTOBER
A season by the gulf
From the patron saint’s festival to the fall regattas, by way of summer in Pampelonne, the gulf moves from one highlight to the next.
-
May 16 to 18
La Bravade
Saint-Tropez honors its patron saint with music and costumes, and the village fills up. Your chauffeur drops you close to the center and meets you at the same spot when it’s time.
-
In summer
The beaches of Pampelonne
In Ramatuelle, the long beach lines up its clubs along the sea. Arrive before noon, leave at sunset: your chauffeur handles both rides.
-
In the fall
Les Voiles
The world’s finest sailing yachts race offshore, and the port overflows with people. Your chauffeur gets you close to the quays, then it’s back to the hotel and its calm.

Since 1936
From La Pinède to Cheval Blanc
Opened in 1936 as the Résidence de la Pinède, the house became Cheval Blanc St-Tropez in 2019 and a palace hotel the same year. Its restaurant, La Vague d’Or, is led by Arnaud Donckele; the spa bears the Guerlain name.

Rides from Cheval Blanc
GOOD TO KNOW
Getting to Cheval Blanc: a question?
Leaving Nice Airport, how long until we arrive?
Off-season, the drive runs around an hour and 45 minutes; during the summer months, two hours and at times two and a half, depending on traffic. We set off as soon as you’re ready.
Can we arrive by helicopter?
Yes: helicopters land in Saint-Tropez itself, leaving only a few minutes by road, and your chauffeur waits on site to welcome you.
Will you take us to Pampelonne and pick us up again?
Yes: dropped right at your beach club, you set off again at the agreed hour; booked by the day, your chauffeur never goes far.
For Cheval Blanc, taxi or private chauffeur?
A taxi in Nice means lining up at the stand first. With us, your name is already waiting on a sign held by your chauffeur, smart in a suit and tie. Parked a few paces away: a brand-new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Your stay on the gulf, with Valentin
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. The hotel’s entrance, the quays of the old port, the Pampelonne beach clubs: Valentin knows every address on the gulf.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
