The French Riviera has drawn those who live beautifully for more than a century, and it still rewards them — but only if you know how to move through it. From the villas of Cap Ferrat to the yachts of Antibes, the beach clubs of Saint-Tropez to the tables of Cannes, the best of the Cote d’Azur is rarely a matter of simply booking. The Grace is a private lifestyle management and luxury concierge on the French Riviera, giving a small circle of clients a single trusted contact for the entire coast, around the clock and with absolute discretion.
A concierge who knows the whole coast
The Riviera is not one destination but a string of them, each with its own character and its own codes. Saint-Tropez in August moves to a different rhythm than Cap Ferrat in June; a table that is impossible on a festival weekend in Cannes opens quietly at another time of year. Knowing the coast means knowing these rhythms — when to move, where to place you, and whom to call for the things that never appear online. Our presence across the Cote d’Azur and neighbouring Monaco means we can reach the villas, yachts, restaurants and clubs that define the region, and reach them at the moments they are hardest to secure.
We take on very few clients on purpose. That is what allows us to learn your preferences — the coast you return to, the kind of evening you enjoy, the pace you like to keep — and to anticipate rather than merely react. One trusted contact for the whole Riviera, and never a detail left to chance, whether you are here for a long summer season or a single unforgettable weekend.
That difference is felt most in the details that others overlook — the villa positioned to catch the evening light, the skipper who knows exactly where to drop anchor for lunch, the maître d’ who keeps your table even when the town is full. These are not things you can request from a catalogue; they come from relationships built patiently over years. We carry them on your behalf, so that everything simply falls into place.
What we arrange on the French Riviera
From the villa that anchors your stay to the smallest reservation, we handle the full experience of the coast with the same care and the same eye for detail.
Villas and private residences
The finest properties on the Riviera are held privately and offered only through trusted relationships — the belle-epoque villas of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the contemporary estates in the hills above Cannes, the discreet hideaways in the countryside behind Saint-Tropez. We source them off-market, match them to your party and the character of stay you want, and staff them fully so that the house runs without a sound from arrival to departure.
- Off-market villas across Cap Ferrat, Cannes, Antibes and Saint-Tropez
- Waterfront estates with private pools, gardens and direct sea access
- Full household service — private chef, housekeeping and dedicated hosts
Yachts and the water
The Riviera is best understood from the sea, and a private yacht turns a stay into something else entirely. We charter vessels of every size from Antibes and the region’s ports, with full crew and chef, whether for a day anchored off the Îles de Lérins or a season cruising the coast. Everything around the water — tenders, provisioning, dining on board and the reservations waiting on land — is coordinated end to end.
- Yacht and superyacht charters with full crew and chef
- Day boats and tenders with a skipper for the Îles de Lérins and beyond
- Berthing, provisioning and onward transfers, handled seamlessly
Dining, beach clubs and nightlife
The coast’s most coveted tables and beach clubs are booked long ahead and, in high season, are all but impossible without the right relationships. Whether you want lunch at a legendary club in Ramatuelle, a quiet dinner above the sea in Villefranche, or an evening that runs late in Saint-Tropez, we remove every point of friction so the only decision left to you is where to sit.
- Tables at the coast’s finest restaurants, including short-notice requests
- Daybeds and access at the most sought-after beach clubs
- Nightlife, private events and after-hours arranged around your preferences
Travel and transfers
- Helicopter transfers between Nice airport, Monaco and Saint-Tropez
- Chauffeured cars, security and private aviation across the region
- Onward travel to Monaco, Italy and beyond
From Nice to Saint-Tropez — and on to Monaco and Italy
One of the quiet advantages of the Riviera is how much sits within easy reach. A morning in Cap Ferrat can become lunch in Saint-Tropez, an afternoon in the perched villages of the hinterland, or an evening across the border in Monaco or on the Italian Riviera. Because we plan across the whole region rather than a single town, we weave these together seamlessly — a helicopter here, a chauffeur there, a yacht for the crossing — so your days flow without the seams showing. For clients building a longer stay, we design complete itineraries that use the coast as the base for a wider journey through Monaco and Italy, always with the same single point of contact.
The Riviera calendar — be where it matters
The Cote d’Azur keeps one of the most glittering calendars in the world, and its biggest moments are precisely those where access is hardest to secure. We plan around them so that you are never left watching from the outside. The Cannes Film Festival in May transforms the town, and villas, yachts and invitations are at their most competitive; the neighbouring Monaco Grand Prix falls in the same season; the Cannes Lions follows in June, and the Saint-Tropez summer runs from Bastille Day through the warm months that follow. For the headline cultural and sporting moments, our dedicated Global Access service secures presence where it counts, from festival pavilions to hospitality over the harbour.
Discretion is the default, not an extra
The Riviera has always attracted people for whom privacy is not a luxury but a necessity, and we treat it that way. Arrivals, seating, security and the simple question of who knows you are on the coast are all managed so that visibility is always your choice. We do not name our clients and we never trade on their trust — that quiet is part of what we offer, and part of why the same guests return to us year after year.
Why clients choose The Grace on the French Riviera
We treat every request with immediate attention, full ownership and zero friction. We do not pass you between departments or disappear once a booking is confirmed — a single dedicated contact stays engaged until the outcome is delivered exactly as intended. We are available 24/7, every day of the year, and we plan across the whole region, so a week on the coast can flow effortlessly into Monaco, Lake Como or wherever your year takes you.
Whether you need a single arrangement handled beautifully or an ongoing partner for life on the Cote d’Azur, we would be glad to help. Explore our approach to dedicated lifestyle management, our private travel service, or simply begin a conversation.
