Cannes Transfer
Sainte-Maxime sits across the bay from Saint-Tropez, a relaxed, family-friendly resort with sandy beaches and a sheltered marina. It is about 120 km from Nice Cote d'Azur Airport, roughly 1 hour 15 minutes by the A8. A private transfer is the smoothest way to arrive, avoiding the summer traffic stress of the Saint-Tropez peninsula.
Several ways exist to make this journey. Here is how they compare:
A private transfer brings you door to door for a fixed EUR 155, with your driver meeting you in arrivals and tracking your flight. It is especially valuable in summer when local taxis are scarce and the peninsula roads are congested.
The nearest stations are Saint-Raphael or Les Arcs, both requiring a bus or taxi onward to Sainte-Maxime. With beach luggage this is far less practical than a direct car.
Taxis from the airport are expensive with no fixed price, and in peak season availability for the longer run to Sainte-Maxime is limited. A pre-booked transfer removes the uncertainty.
Sainte-Maxime has long, gently shelving sandy beaches that are calmer and more family-oriented than glamorous Saint-Tropez opposite.
A short seasonal shuttle boat crosses the gulf to Saint-Tropez, a scenic and traffic-free way to visit the famous village.
The lively port, palm-lined promenade and pedestrian old town are full of restaurants, markets and cafes.
The resort is a great base for exploring Port Grimaud, Gassin and the vineyards of the Var hinterland.
Fixed price EUR 155, Mercedes E-Class, English-speaking driver, flight tracking and meet & greet. No prepayment needed.
