Discover the French Riviera hiking or by VTC
The French Riviera and the surroundings of Beausoleil are full of splendid places to discover. Situated between sea and mountains, this gives rise to magnificent landscapes perched at medium altitude and offering a glimpse of the blue expanse of the Mediterranean.
These landscapes are moreover visible thanks to our VTC drivers who take the roads connecting Nice and the principality during a transfer with a private driver from the airport for example.
A hike from Beausoleil to Nice ?
To enjoy the French Riviera for a few hours and its landscapes, there are several hikes along the coast. By the sea or slightly climbing in the heights, there is something for everyone.
One of the most beautiful walks connects the Beausoleil train station to the Riquier train station in Nice. After the departure from the principality, the path climbs up to La Turbie and then passes under the park of La Revère. It then turns westward to go along the park of the great corniche and passes by the Plateau de la Justice and then by the Vinaigrier.
The private driver option
The points of interest that this hike crosses are also accessible by car with one of our VTC drivers. This allows you to avoid the five to six hours of walking required for this easy but long hike, but above all to be sure to travel in comfort.

In 2021, the dates chosen are from January 20 to 24, but the current pandemic could turn everything upside down.
Is it necessary to cancel?

For the moment, the organizers of the Monte-Carlo Rally are maintaining the prestigious race.
Modified routes
But to be sure, the rally will change its route slightly. Firstly, it is important to respect the closed-door schedule established by the government until January 20 and the night stages are also modified.
Do not forget the Alex storm
Last November a storm hit the south of France and many roads have already been destroyed. These changes come on top of the current health crisis and are even impacting the journeys of our private drivers.

A new surface out of the water
The work site does not stand on the seashore, it stands in the sea! Indeed, located between the beaches and the mountains, the city of Beausoleil has difficulty to expand. In fact, it is one, if not the first, of the densest cities in the world in terms of number of inhabitants per square kilometer. To add six new hectares, it was therefore necessary to make room where it was possible, which means by extending towards the sea.
Technical feats
It is expected to be completed by 2025 and will house five buildings and fourteen villas. However, it was not a foregone conclusion. Between safeguarding the local fauna and flora, soundproofing and succeeding in backfilling all the volume of water that this represented, the construction site is on a large scale.
The foundations are supposed to be finished by the end of 2020, hoping that the pandemic has not delayed everything.
Finally, the first buildings will be completed by 2022 and our private drivers will be able to transport you to the extension of the Grimaldi Forum scheduled for 2024.
An anti-covid label to reassure in Beausoleil
The Principality of Beausoleil was affected like the whole world by the covid-19 epidemic. Although there are only two deaths to be regretted, out of 260 recorded cases, the government has taken measures to reassure the population as well as visitors and to support economic recovery. This includes the Beausoleil Safe label. Our company of private drivers in Beausoleil tells you more.
How to properly set up for driving?
We all remember our driving lessons at driving school, “adjust your seat, move the mirrors, adjust the steering wheel and put on your seat belt”. Indeed, these are elementary safety rules that allow you to feel more comfortable at the wheel, but also to react more easily and to carry out your checks more efficiently.
Here are a few tips that any driver from our transport company in Beausoleil could give you.
Start by adjusting your body …
Adjusting one’s body of course means getting comfortable in the seat, so that you should be able to press down on the pedals without moving. Also, the height of the seat and headrest allows you to have a global view of the road while being comfortable, as does the inclination of the backrest.
Finally, the steering wheel must be in a good position in front of you so that you can control it without stretching or bending your arms. Moreover, too high will obstruct the vision of the road and too low will not be comfortable for the arms.
… Then adjust in relation to the eyes
Visibility is perhaps the most important thing for drivers. The interior mirror and both exterior mirrors should provide a picture of just about everything behind the car. Of course, there are blind spots that you will have to check by turning slightly. That is actually one of the reasons why it’s important to be comfortable in your seat.
