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.
Its ocher and pink facades rise in tiers above the harbor, backed by the mountains, and Italy begins just a few kilometers away. From Nice Airport, Menton is about 55 minutes away: time to settle into the back seat and leave the road to your private driver.

THE YEAR IN MENTON
From February lemons to August concerts
Citrus in winter, gardens in spring, music in summer: Menton takes on a new look with every season.
-
In February
The Lemon Festival
Since 1934, February has belonged to citrus: some 140 metric tons dress the floats that parade on Sundays along the Promenade du Soleil, and on certain Thursdays after dark. We set you down right by the parade route.
-
In spring
The gardens of Menton
Serre de la Madone, Val Rahmeh, Fontana Rosa: all of them owe a great deal to the mild climate. Your chauffeur links one to the next, so you walk only their paths.
-
In August
Concerts by the basilica
Every August, the square in front of the Saint-Michel Basilica hosts a classical music festival, facing the sea. After the last encore, you find your chauffeur below the old town’s lanes.
-
Since 1653
The basilica and its bell tower
Opened for worship in 1653, it rises above the rooftops with its Baroque facade; its bell tower, 53 meters (about 174 feet) high, went up in the early 18th century.

GOOD TO KNOW
Any questions about Menton?
How many minutes to Menton from the airport?
About 55 minutes by highway, often less when traffic moves freely around Monaco.
During the Lemon Festival, can you drop us near the parades?
Yes: every Sunday, the floats move along the seafront; we let you out steps from the route and pick you up again once the last float has gone by.
Is a day trip to Italy possible?
Absolutely: Italy is only minutes away, and you spend the day with your chauffeur, from Ventimiglia to San Remo, back in Menton by evening.
Taxi or private chauffeur: which for Menton?
With a taxi, your arrival in Nice starts in a line at the curb. Not for you: at arrivals, your name is already held up by your chauffeur, polished in a suit and tie, who then leads the way toward a brand-new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz bound for Menton.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Your stay in Menton, 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 sloping streets of old Menton, the villas of Garavan, the Promenade du Soleil, the road into Italy: Valentin knows Menton inside out.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
