FTC Rider Saint-Paul-de-Vence

Your private chauffeur in Saint-Paul-de-Vence — Nice airport transfers, the Fondation Maeght, and days out in the hinterland.

Private Chauffeur Saint-Paul-de-Vence

FTC RIDER provides private chauffeur and VTC services to and from Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A walled village on its hilltop between Nice and Cannes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence is one of the most visited places on the Riviera — and entirely pedestrian, with parking that is scarce and a walk away.

We operate across the south of France with more than 150 drivers.

Looking for a taxi in Saint-Paul-de-Vence or a private chauffeur you can rely on? FTC Rider gives you the convenience of a taxi — booked and paid online, a fixed price agreed before you travel, a professional driver — with no meter and no surcharges. We cover transfers from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, runs to Nice and Cannes, and full days out in the hinterland.

Nice Airport to Saint-Paul-de-Vence transfers

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is about thirty minutes from Saint-Paul by the A8 and then the Vence road. Your driver tracks your flight and meets you in arrivals with a name board.

Because the village is pedestrian, we set you down at the ramparts, a few steps from the Grand Rue. That matters with luggage: the public car parks are below the village and fill early in season.

Allow longer in July and August — the road up to the village is narrow and backs up by late morning.

The Fondation Maeght, the galleries and La Colombe d’Or

Saint-Paul has lived on art for a century. The Fondation Maeght, minutes from the village, holds one of Europe’s finest modern art collections — Miró, Giacometti, Braque — in a building and garden worth the trip on their own.

Inside the walls, the Grand Rue is lined with galleries all the way to the cemetery, where Marc Chagall is buried. La Colombe d’Or still has on its walls the canvases left behind by the painters who stayed there.

Many clients combine the Fondation in the morning, lunch in the village and Vence in the afternoon — a programme that works well as a half-day hire.

Days out in the hinterland

Saint-Paul is the natural base for the hill villages behind Nice: Vence and its Matisse chapel, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, Gourdon perched above the Loup gorges, and Grasse with its perfumeries.

Those roads are beautiful but winding, and parking in each village is limited. A driver on standby by the hour or the day solves both problems at once.
