Nice Airport to Èze Transfer Guide
Nice Airport to Èze by private chauffeur — the corniche route, journey time, guide prices and arrivals at the perched village and Èze-sur-Mer.
Èze is the Riviera's most famous perched village — a medieval maze of stone lanes clinging to a peak above the sea, halfway between Nice and Monaco. Reaching it means climbing the corniche roads, which is exactly where a chauffeur earns their keep. About 15 kilometres from Nice Airport, Èze rewards a driven arrival with some of the best views on the coast. Here is how the Nice Airport to Èze transfer works.
How far is Èze from Nice Airport?
Èze is about 15 km east of Nice Airport, but the drive takes around 25 to 30 minutes because the village sits high on the Moyenne Corniche. The climb up from the coast is part of the experience.
There are two Èze: the perched medieval village on the Moyenne Corniche, and Èze-sur-Mer down on the shore. A chauffeur takes you to either, along one of the three spectacular corniche roads.
- Distance: about 15 km east, high on the corniche
- Journey time: 25–30 minutes with the climb
- Two destinations: the perched village and Èze-sur-Mer
- Some of the finest sea views on the Riviera
The corniche drive to Èze
The three Corniches — Basse, Moyenne and Grande — thread between Nice and Monaco at different heights, each with its own views. The Moyenne Corniche delivers you to the foot of Èze village; the Grande Corniche climbs even higher for panoramic stops.
A chauffeur who knows these roads can turn a simple transfer into a scenic arrival, pausing at the best viewpoints if you have time before check-in at La Chèvre d'Or or Château Eza.
- Moyenne Corniche to the perched village
- Optional scenic stops on the Grande Corniche
- Direct arrival at La Chèvre d'Or and Château Eza
- Easy to combine with Monaco, just minutes away

What to expect on arrival
The perched village is pedestrian, so vehicles stop at the entrance and a short walk leads into the lanes. Your chauffeur drops you as close as the road allows, whether for a hotel stay, a garden visit or lunch with a view.
Because Èze sits between Nice and Monaco, it is a natural stop on a chauffeur-driven tour of the eastern Riviera.
