VTC in Antibes and Juan-les-Pins: €85 from the airport

For a traveller, these are three different destinations. Old Antibes and Port Vauban, to the east, around the ramparts; Juan-les-Pins, to the south-west, with its pine grove and sandy beaches; and in between, Cap d’Antibes, with its villas and grand hotels at the end of narrow roads.

For Driver, Let’s Go!, it is a single fare: the ride between Nice Côte d’Azur Airport and Antibes or Juan-les-Pins costs €85, in either direction, whatever the postcode of your address.

You reach the fort by the seafront road north of the port, then on foot to the entrance. It is the best viewpoint over Port Vauban and its superyachts, and an easy stop to fit in at the start or end of an airport transfer.

For crews and boat owners, pickup is at the quay you specify: give the name of the boat, and Thierry meets you at the gangway or at the quay entrance, depending on what the port allows.

In 1946, Pablo Picasso set up his studio in the Château Grimaldi and painted there for several months; the château became the Picasso Museum in 1966. It is one of the first museums devoted to the painter, and one of the few you can visit with the sea right below the windows.

Around it, the lanes of the old town lead to the covered Provençal market on Cours Masséna and to the walk along the ramparts. Some of these streets are pedestrianised: drop-off is on the edge, on the port side or the ramparts side, and Thierry shows you the way. For a day taking in other painters’ museums, see the museums page.

For a meeting in Sophia Antipolis, there are two options: a transfer from the airport, priced when you book according to the building, or a four-hour half day (€320) when the day strings together several meetings and a return to the plane. In the car, the Wi-Fi lets you work on the way.

Payment by bank transfer, with an invoice, suits business travel: just mention it when you book.

For a seminar or a team arriving on several flights, each transfer is booked separately, with the person’s name on the sign: the Tesla takes four passengers at a time, and Thierry handles the arrivals one after another according to landing times.

In town, the Picasso Museum occupies the Château Grimaldi above the sea, and Fort Carré watches over the entrance to the port. The coastal path on Cap d’Antibes is walked on foot; Thierry can drop you at the start and pick you up at the end, as part of hourly hire.

For a painters’ day, Antibes combines with Cagnes-sur-Mer and Vence: see the Riviera museums page. For dinner on the port or in the old town, the restaurants page explains how to arrange the ride back.
