Nice Airport to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
Nice Airport to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat by private chauffeur — route, journey time, guide prices and quiet, door-to-door arrivals on the peninsula.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is one of the quietest and most exclusive addresses on the French Riviera — a green peninsula of grand villas and gardens between Villefranche and Beaulieu, about 20 kilometres east of Nice Airport. It rewards a calm, private arrival, and a chauffeur transfer is the natural way to reach it. Here is what to know about the Nice Airport to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat transfer.
How far is Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat from Nice Airport?
Cap-Ferrat lies about 20 km east of Nice Airport, roughly 25 to 30 minutes away depending on traffic through and around Nice. The route runs east along the coast or the Basse Corniche past Villefranche-sur-Mer.
