The Corniches: The World's Most Spectacular Roads
Three legendary roads carved into the cliffs between Nice and Monaco. Hairpin bends, sheer drops to the azure sea, and views that will make your heart race. Let your chauffeur handle the driving while you drink in the scenery.
Why You Need a Private Driver for the Corniches
These roads are spectacular but demanding. Tight hairpin bends, vertiginous drops, distracted tourists snapping photos... Driving yourself means missing the very scenery you came to see.
With ECOFUNDRIVE, you're the passenger. Gaze at the views, take unlimited photos at the best viewpoints, and stop whenever something catches your eye. Our chauffeurs know every curve by heart – and the secret spots tourists never find.
