The service in the field
Key service points
The Nice Carnival from a chauffeur's seat
In February, Nice closes the Promenade and Place Masséna for one of the world's great carnivals — dense crowds and reshaped traffic.
Every February, the Nice Carnival animates the city for two weeks: carnival corsi on Place Masséna and flower battles along the Promenade des Anglais. During the parades, these arteries are closed and the centre is saturated. A chauffeur who knows the authorised drop-offs gets you near the stands without the parking ordeal.
Nice Côte d'Azur airport is minutes from the centre, but the Promenade closures complicate the links on parade nights. With flight tracking and an adapted route (Voie Mathis, eastern access), we secure a direct transfer to the hotel despite the crowds.
The Carnival is a family-friendly, public event: premium sedans and vans for families, children and groups of friends, with the same chauffeur all day. And since February also brings the Lemon Festival to Menton, we happily combine a day trip to Menton, Monaco or Èze.
