Vintage Riviera: A Classic Convertible Drive

Vintage Riviera: A Classic Convertible Drive

Begin your classic car adventure in Saint-Tropez, where you step into the driver’s seat of a beautifully restored convertible and prepare to experience the Côte d’Azur from behind the wheel. After selecting from icons such as a Jaguar E-Type, Mercedes Pagoda, Porsche, Mustang, or similar vintage car, you receive a short briefing before joining a guided convoy with escort cars at the front and rear. The route leaves the port for Port Grimaud, then turns inland onto quiet country roads scented with pine and Mediterranean scrub, continuing toward Cogolin and the wide valley of Le Mole.

Your drive carries you into the hills behind the coast, where open-air motoring reveals Provençal village scenery, winding roads, and the character of each classic car. In Bormes-les-Mimosas, pause for coffee, tea, or a soft drink and take time to admire the vehicles before continuing the journey.

The return journey follows the coast toward La Lavandou, Royal Canadel, and Cavalière, with the Mediterranean opening beside the road in a sequence of striking sea views. With the convertible roof down and escort cars guiding the way, you drive one of the Riviera’s most scenic coastal stretches before returning to Saint-Tropez. Your experience concludes at the port with a brief debrief and farewell after an exhilarating circuit of vintage motoring, Provençal hills, and sparkling coastal roads.

Notes: The price of this experience is charged per car, not per person. Each booking includes one car and accommodates up to 2 guests. Guests may be required to walk a short distance on the pier to reach the cars. In order to participate, guests must meet the following limits: maximum height: 203 cm (6 feet 8 inches); maximum weight: 127 kg (280 lbs) maximum. A waiver is required to sign in order to participate in this tour. Drivers are required to carry a valid driver’s license and will be asked by the onboard team, once the voyage begins, to confirm whether they prefer to drive an automatic or manual transmission car. Guests do not choose the specific car; they only request the type of transmission. Vehicles are assigned on the day of the excursion, and specific models cannot be guaranteed. The tour is self-driving, with a lead car and a following car, and driver/guides positioned in the front and rear vehicles. The convoy follows a regular pace, and guests are required to follow the lead of the group at all times; this is not a fast-paced experience. During the experience, you may have the opportunity to exchange your classic car with fellow participants, should both parties agree. The driving time is approximately 3 hours, although this may be affected by traffic conditions. The itinerary and driving pace may be adjusted locally based on traffic, weather, road conditions, or operational requirements. Air conditioning may not be available in all cars, and as most vehicles are convertibles, guests should be prepared for sun exposure, wind, and seasonal temperatures. All vehicles are convertibles and are equipped with a roof that can be raised if weather conditions require. Comfortable clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are recommended. Guests should also wear suitable footwear for driving; high heels or open-back sandals are not recommended for drivers. Storage space in the vehicles may be limited, so guests should avoid bringing large bags. Guests who are under the influence of alcohol, or who appear otherwise unfit to drive, will not be permitted to participate in the driving portion of the tour for safety reasons, and no refund will be given. Guests who plan to drive must not consume alcohol before or during the driving portion of the tour.
