Private Chauffeur Aix-en-Provence
by Eminence Prestige
Aix-en-Provence, a city of art, thermal springs and academia, historic capital of the Aix region, combines outstanding cultural prestige (Opera Festival, Vasarely Foundation, Cézanne heritage) with economic vitality (Arbois Technology Park, corporate headquarters, international business schools). Eminence Prestige deploys a private chauffeur service tailored to discerning clients: MRS and NCE airport transfers, business travel, Aix-en-Provence Festival accompaniment, and drop-offs at Relais & Châteaux hotels in the historic centre.
Our fleet of Mercedes 2026, Range Rover Vogue LWB and Luxury Sprinter covers the entire Aix region as well as routes to Marseille (30 min), Avignon, Cassis, the Luberon and the French Riviera (Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Saint-Tropez).
Airport Transfers: MRS and NCE
Marseille Provence airport (MRS) is the natural gateway to Aix-en-Provence: 25 minutes via the A51, 25 km, transfer on request with meet & greet in the arrivals zone and real-time flight tracking. For clients arriving at Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE), we operate the long-distance journey via the A8: 1h45 to 2h, 180 km, also on request. Our chauffeurs are familiar with alternative routes in the event of congestion on the A51 (Marseille rush hours) or the A8 (French Riviera high season).
Aix-en-Provence Festival (opera, July)
The Aix-en-Provence International Opera Festival, founded in 1948, draws an international audience of music lovers (Europe, North America, Asia) every July to the Grand Théâtre de Provence, the Théâtre de l'Archevêché and the Théâtre du Jeu de Paume. Eminence Prestige deploys a coordinated transport service: transfers from MRS and NCE, early-evening drop-offs, late-night returns to hotels and villas in the Aix region, the Luberon or the French Riviera. As-directed hire is available for the full duration of the festival for season subscribers and institutional delegations.
