Antibes chauffeur: local notes and planning

A private driver for Antibes, Cap d'Antibes and Juan-les-Pins

Antibes sits halfway between Nice and Cannes and combines three different atmospheres in a few kilometres: a walled old town with a daily market, the superyacht harbour of Port Vauban, and the leafy villas and palace hotels of Cap d'Antibes, with the lively seaside resort of Juan-les-Pins alongside. It is easy to reach and hard to park in, which is why a chauffeur is so useful. This page explains how we serve Antibes, what to do there, how the roads work, and how to book.

Getting to Antibes

Antibes is about 20 kilometres from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, roughly 25 minutes by road in normal traffic, and about 12 kilometres from Cannes, around 20 minutes. Most guests arrive by the A8, then follow local roads to the harbour, the old town or the Cap. We track your flight, meet you in arrivals and take you to your hotel, villa or yacht.

Port Vauban and the yachting world

Port Vauban is one of the largest yacht harbours in Europe, and its famous quay is known as the Billionaires' Quay for the size of the boats. The harbour operates around the clock, with crews arriving, provisioning and departing at every hour. We provide pick-ups for owners, guests and crew, from the airport to the berth, and run provisioning errands by the hour.

The old town and the Provençal market

Behind the harbour, the old town is a maze of stone lanes protected by ramparts. The Provençal market on the Cours Masséna fills most mornings with produce, flowers and local specialities, and the Picasso Museum, in the Château Grimaldi overlooking the sea, is a highlight of the town. Cars cannot enter the pedestrian centre, so your chauffeur uses the nearest drop-off point and tells you where to meet.

Cap d'Antibes: villas, beaches and the coastal path

The Cap is a peninsula of pine trees, private villas and grand hotels, including the legendary Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. The roads are narrow and often private, and many entrances are not visible from the road. Your chauffeur knows the access points and can wait discreetly.

Juan-les-Pins: nightlife and jazz

Juan-les-Pins, on the other side of the Cap, is a seaside resort with a lively promenade, beach clubs and bars. In July, the Jazz à Juan festival fills the pine grove with music, and the town becomes busy until late. Traffic and parking are difficult then, and taxis are scarce after midnight.
