The road rather than the airport
Between Saint-Tropez and Northern Italy or Switzerland, the road is often the most elegant option. You leave from your hotel or villa, no luggage to carry, no airport to cross, and you arrive directly at destination. Saint-Tropez to Milan takes about 6 hours under normal conditions, Saint-Tropez to Geneva around 6h30, Saint-Tropez to Monaco 1h30 out of season.
The Mercedes van, built for long distances
We favour the Mercedes Classe V and Vito vans for these long distances: generous space, quiet ride, and a high seated position that stays comfortable over several hours.
How far do you go from Saint-Tropez?
No set limit. The most requested destinations are Monaco, Nice and Cannes, then Northern Italy (Genoa, Milan, Turin) and Switzerland (Geneva). Saint-Tropez to Milan takes about 6 hours, Geneva about 6h30.
How are breaks handled on a long journey?
At your pace, not ours. The driver suggests regular stops and pulls over wherever you want; no break is imposed beyond statutory driving rules.
How much luggage can we bring?
The Mercedes V-Class and Vito vans take several large suitcases without eating into passenger space, unlike a saloon. Tell us the number of bags when booking so we assign the right vehicle.
