The Riviera’s big weeks, without the stress
During the major events the roads are filtered and chauffeurs are in high demand. Book early: we know the access routes and organise your movements.
The year’s dates
The dates below are the ones published by the organiser or the venue, recorded on 18 September 2026. When an edition is not yet dated, we give the usual month and we say so: we never announce a date that does not exist.
- 9 → 28 February 2027Published by the organiser Nice Carnival
Tram line 1 is split into two shuttles and the Masséna, Opéra and Cathédrale stops close for the whole period. A chauffeur-driven car depends on none of those stops.
Nice - 16 → 19 March 2027Published by the organiser MIPIM
The world property show, at the Palais des Festivals. A useful reminder: the car park under the Palais stops at 1,80 metre, and a van does not get in.

Its 25th edition moves from the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco to the Palais des Festivals, with more than 15,000 participants announced.
