Private chauffeur
in Saint-Tropez.
Villas in Ramatuelle, the beaches of Pampelonne, the port and Place des Lices: Velour handles your movements around the gulf of Saint-Tropez, including at the most gridlocked hours of summer and for late-night returns.
The gulf of Saint-Tropez is its own logistics problem
In July and August, the Pampelonne road and the RD98A entrance into Saint-Tropez can double journey times. Beach car parks fill by 11 a.m., the sea shuttles run to fixed timetables, and returns from dinner after midnight take narrow, poorly lit roads. A private chauffeur here is not a luxury: it is the only way to keep control of your own schedule.

Hourly hire for a villa stay
The format that suits Saint-Tropez best is hourly hire: a vehicle and chauffeur assigned to your stay, available from morning until the evening return, with no need to book each movement. Families and groups favour the V-Class Exclusive VIP for its seven seats and boot space, couples the S-Class or the Maybach. The minimum is 2 hours, rising to 6 hours for the Range Rover Vogue SV and the Maybach models.
From Paris or Nice airport
Velour drives the direct Paris–Saint-Tropez run, around 880 kilometres, with a single chauffeur. From Nice, allow around 1 h 30 depending on traffic; from Toulon-Hyères, around one hour. See also our services in Cannes.

Seasonal presence
in the gulf.
In July and August the village closes to traffic and the gulf roads seize up. Our chauffeurs are based on site for the season: they know the hours when Pampelonne becomes impassable, the beach service accesses, the spots where a car can wait without being in the way. From the villa to dinner, from the port to Ramatuelle, the car is where it should be, when it should be.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take from Nice to Saint-Tropez?
Allow around 1 h 30 out of season and up to 2 h 30 in July and August depending on traffic on the A8 and at the entrance to the gulf. Our chauffeurs adjust the route live and build that margin into the pick-up time.
Can I book a chauffeur for a whole stay?
Yes, and it is the most common arrangement in the gulf. A chauffeur and vehicle are assigned to your stay under hourly hire, with a reduced rate from three consecutive days.
Does Velour serve the Pampelonne beaches?
Yes, all the beach clubs at Pampelonne, plus Ramatuelle, Gassin, Grimaud and Port Grimaud. Drop-off is as close as possible to the club entrance.
Are late-night returns available?
Yes, 24 hours a day, at the same rate as daytime. No night or public holiday surcharge is applied.
