The French Riviera (Cap-Ferrat & Saint-Tropez)
Aviation & Transfers
The primary gateway is Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), accommodating both commercial first-class and private aviation. For properties in Saint-Tropez (Lily of the Valley), we highly recommend booking a helicopter transfer via Monacair directly from Nice (20 minutes) to avoid the notorious coastal summer traffic.
Best Season
Late May to September is prime season. To experience the warmth without the crowds, September offers a glossy, serene atmosphere with the Mediterranean sea at its warmest.
Provence (Gordes)
Aviation & Transfers
Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) is the closest international hub, located 50 minutes away. Alternatively, the Avignon TGV station welcomes high-speed trains from Paris in just 2 hours and 40 minutes. Chauffeur services in Mercedes S-Class or Range Rovers are standard protocol for arrival at Airelles Gordes.
Best Season
Late June to Mid-July is mandatory if you wish to witness the iconic lavender fields in full bloom. Autumn offers incredible wine harvest experiences and golden light.
Calanques & Cassis
Aviation & Transfers
Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) serves Cassis perfectly (45-minute drive). For a more dramatic entrance, yachts can moor in the Cassis harbor, with tender services directly to the cliffside docks of Les Roches Blanches.
The French Alps (Méribel)
Aviation & Transfers
Geneva Airport (GVA) or Lyon (LYS) are standard entry points. The luxury standard is a private helicopter charter from Geneva directly to the Méribel Altiport, turning a 2.5-hour drive into a breathtaking 30-minute aerial tour of Mont Blanc.
Best Season
Late January through March ensures optimal powder for skiing and clear blue skies for the indoor-outdoor infinity pool experiences.
