Off to Nice: smooth transfers with Blacklane’s chauffeur service
“We started the early morning journey to the Airport, and we were kept in constant communication from our driver; we were informed via the Blacklane App of their location and estimated time of arrival as well as a notification to confirm arrival, you can also track your chauffeur on their app. We were greeted to a very warm welcome by our chauffeur who very kindly carried our bags to the executive Mercedes. The vehicle was immaculate, and the lighting and soothing music made us relax straight away. We were also given complimentary refreshments and dropped directly to the airport departure door, effortless first-class travel. Our return journey was equally seamless, and certainly the journey you want to experience after travelling.
Beau Rivage, Nice
We visited Nice which is less than a two-hour flight from the UK and a great location for a short break to refresh and rejuvenate. When in Nice it’s worth staying in style – we stayed at the fantastic Beau Rivage . It’s a four-star hotel with a contemporary design and a chic, refined ambience as you’d expect from the French Riviera. Beau Rivage is located in the heart of old Nice, between the Cours Saleya, with its thousand colours, and the Promenade des Anglais, dominated by its shades of blue. One of Nice’s first hotels, the Beau Rivage has adapted to the times, welcoming famous intellectuals and artists such as Henri Matisse and Chekhov.
Today, it continues to attract the biggest names in music and cinema, who take refuge here during their Cรดte d’Azur escapades. It’s a great option in a perfect location for corporates with seminar prices starting from as little as 75 euros.
See what to expect of your visit to the Beau Rivage.
Cannes
Cannes was only a 35-minute train journey from Nice and indeed worth a visit. Over the centuries, Cannes has grown with those who’ve fallen in love with it and settled there. Today, magnificent monumentsย bear witness to this flourishing history. From theย medieval district of The Suquetย to the majestic hotels of La Croisette, from theย painted walls dedicated to the 7th artย to the sumptuous residences of the Californie quarter, Cannes has an exceptional heritage. Every year, the film world gathers on the Croisette for the unmissableย Cannes Film Festival. But this is not the only event in town. Theatre, dance, music, literature, games, pyrotechnics… The Cannes agenda is full of events for everyone.
