IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE
From the Hôtel de Paris to the peninsula
The old port is just steps away, and the Place des Lices is close by. Pampelonne and its beaches lie about fifteen minutes away, the villages of Gassin and Ramatuelle crown the neighboring hills, and across the water, Sainte-Maxime sits on the far shore of the gulf.
The ocher and burnt-sienna bell tower of the Church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption rises above the village rooftops; the painter Paul Signac captured it on canvas in 1896. Work on the church began in the 16th century, on the site of an older one, and was completed in 1784; it has been listed as a historic monument since 1981. The church is home to the bust of Saint Tropez, the village’s patron saint and protector of sailors, which the Bravade procession carries through the streets every year from May 16 to 18.
Rides from the Hôtel de Paris
GOOD TO KNOW
A question about getting to the Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez?
How long is the drive from Nice Airport?
Allow about an hour and 45 minutes off-season, and two to two and a half hours in summer, when traffic builds on the roads around the gulf. Your fare, set when you book, stays the same however long the drive takes.
Our jet is landing at La Môle. Can you meet us there?
Yes. The Golfe de Saint-Tropez airport at La Môle welcomes private jets; your chauffeur is there when you land, then drives you to the hotel.
Once at the hotel, how do we get to the beaches and villages?
The village is easy to explore on foot from the hotel. For Pampelonne, Ramatuelle or a dinner beyond the gulf, book your chauffeur for a few hours or for the day. Your chauffeur waits nearby, then drives you back whenever you like.
For the Hôtel de Paris, taxi or private chauffeur?
A taxi at Nice Airport means waiting in line at the stand. Your private chauffeur, booked in advance, meets you in the terminal, dressed in a suit and tie and holding a sign with your name, then escorts you to a new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz parked right outside.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Your stay in Saint-Tropez, 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. At the Hôtel de Paris, your chauffeur is ready at the agreed time, whether for a day at Pampelonne or an evening in Cannes.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
