« Nice is the silent capital of the Riviera. »
I
A portrait of the place
Nice is the largest city of the Riviera, and by far the most inhabited. Its Promenade des Anglais runs seven kilometres along the seafront, its Italian Old Town climbs the Castle hill, its Cimiez quarter lines up the Belle Époque palaces where Queen Victoria once stayed. Above, the Mont Boron and the Parc Impérial concentrate the most discreet upmarket residential quarter of the Coast.
Maison Vehira serves here both the principal gateway of the Riviera — Nice Airport, the third in France — and the more intimate habits of Niçois residents: transfers to Cimiez, drop-offs at the Negresco or the Boscolo, by-the-hour service for visits to the Old Town's galleries, conveyance to dinners at the port Lympia.
Nice is also the aerial relay to Monaco by helicopter, with the service at the NCE-MCM heliport. The Maison coordinates connections there with particular precision, guests often chaining four transitions in one hour (private jet, motorcar, helicopter, motorcar).

The Maison in Nice
Vehira operates in Nice with particular intensity at the airport. Its chauffeurs know the terminals, the arrival zones of private jets, the protocols of the great private companies, and know how to intervene with absolute discretion for arrivals in anonymity — without sign, ever.
The Maison habitually serves NCE transfers to the palaces of the Coast (Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez), the permanent residents of Cimiez and Mont Boron, and the invitees of the Negresco or Boscolo soirées. For annual residents, it may commit by seasonal or annual attachment.
Its motorcars are Mercedes S-Class or E-Class. For family arrivals with bulky luggage, the Maison places at disposal an accompanying Mercedes V-Class vehicle, coordinated with the principal motorcar.

The addresses of the Maison
Vehira regularly serves the guests of the Niçois palaces — the Negresco facing the sea, the Hyatt Regency, the Boscolo, the Marriott and several Belle Époque hotels which the Maison permits itself not to name. It is known to their concierges, as well as to the resident families of Cimiez, Mont Boron, Parc Impérial, and the Coast.
For arrivals at the airport, the Maison applies the habitual discreet welcome protocol — golden palm for the regulars, silent waiting at the exit for the others. It has access to a dedicated parking within the terminal for private jets, and particular protocols for the arrivals of personalities.

The Niçois attachment
For permanent residents of Cimiez and Mont Boron
For families residing in Cimiez, on Mont Boron, at the Parc Impérial, or in the enclosed villas of the coast, Maison Vehira proposes an annual attachment. A single chauffeur is then dedicated, with reserved motorcar, schedules adapted to the household's rhythm, and precise knowledge of schools, medical appointments, habitual social engagements.
This attachment is the rarest and most personal of the Maison's commitments. It is established by preliminary conversation with the founder, and according to a limited number of families served per year.
