Private chauffeur in Menton
The last French town before Italy, Menton owes its lemon trees, exceptional gardens and tightly packed ochre façades around the Saint-Michel basilica to its microclimate. City of the IGP lemon, of Jean Cocteau and of the restaurant Mirazur, it cultivates a gentleness unique on the Riviera. Your private chauffeur in Menton links Nice airport, Monaco fifteen minutes away, neighbouring Italy and the hillside villas, at a fixed price, by sedan or premium van.
From Menton, the border melts away: Ventimiglia and its Friday market, Monet’s beloved Dolceacqua, San Remo and Bordighera are under an hour away; on the French side, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the perched village of Sainte-Agnès and the Serre de la Madone gardens fill days between two rivieras. In February, the Lemon Festival imposes its own logistics — your chauffeur knows them by heart.

Experiences
5 experiences with your chauffeur in Menton
Beyond transfers, your chauffeur becomes the key to the region — private itineraries, fixed prices, vehicle on standby at every stop.
The gardens of Menton
Val Rahmeh and its botanical collections, Serre de la Madone designed by Lawrence Johnston, the citrus grove of the Palais Carnolès. A day of acclimatisation gardens unique in Europe — no secateurs, wonder guaranteed.
Dolceacqua and the Italian Riviera
The medieval bridge Monet painted and the Doria castle, a tasting of Rossese di Dolceacqua, then Ventimiglia or Bordighera as time allows. A seamless border crossing, fresh pasta lunch in the village.
Cocteau, old town and lemon groves
The Cocteau-decorated Bastion museum and the wedding hall he painted, the Saint-Michel basilica and its ramps, then a Menton IGP lemon confectioner. The town in three hours, without climbing a single hill.
Sainte-Agnès and Gorbio
Europe’s highest coastal village at 780 metres, its Maginot Line fort and a view reaching Corsica on clear days, then Gorbio and its medieval lanes beneath the olive trees. Menton’s vertical hinterland.
Monaco evening with late return
Fifteen minutes from Menton: dinner at the Louis XV or on Port Hercule, the Monte-Carlo casino, the Salle Garnier opera. Your chauffeur waits as long as it takes and brings you home along the illuminated corniche.
