Area

TLDR

We've put together an interactive map of the area to give people context on the location. Hopefully this helps with booking and/or planning to explore the area before, during or after the wedding.

French Riviera, Côte d'Azur

NOTE!

There is a different town in France named Cap FerrEt, with an "E" not an "A". This is a different place, very far away. We'll be in Cap FerrAt, with an "A". Don't get these confused or we will be sad.

Stay

TLDR

Hotels & AirBnBs in Cap Ferrat are the best option, but supply is limited & costly... this is the most painful part of this location. Villefranche and Beaulieu-sur-mer are very close (5min drive) and you really can't go wrong.

HOTELS

Hotels in the region can be a bit… tricky… and don't do room blocks the same way as the US. The luxe hotels also block-off summer wknd room availability on their websites, even when they do have rooms available. You might have to call the hotel to get the actual room availability or search for more than 3 days.

The prices for the high-end hotels that target Americans/foreigners are pretty extreme, but below is our rough breakdown of the hotel market:

5 STARS

Max luxe, max price... money no object

4.5 STARS

Approachable luxury... pricey but less crazy

AIRBNBs

AirBnBs are a great option for larger groups/families and there is an abundance of options. Please note that these are public beaches and beautiful marinas with gorgeous restaurants, bars and shops all within walking distance so what some of these lack in amenity offerings, is more made up for in the neighborhoods.

Please note we have personally reserved a number of the Cap Ferrat AirBnB listings and are planning to help organize larger groups.

Travel

TLDR

Nice (NCE) Côte d'Azur Airport is where to fly. It's a ~25 min drive, clean, modern and easy

No need to rent a car unless you want to. Everything is within ~20 min walk or quick/easy Uber

GETTING THERE

Airport Options:

  • From the US

GETTING AROUND

Cap Ferrat itself and the greater area are both very small, so getting around is pretty easy. You don't need a car at all. FYI, some of the roads are a bit tricky/tight/windy which is relevant for both walking or rental cars.

Transportation options:

  • Ubers + walking
    • Ubers are very reliable, easy, safe and reasonably priced.
    • All of the venues are very walkable, its europe.
  • Rental Cars
    • Definitely not needed but nice to have if you really want to explore the extended area
  • Shuttles
    • We'll provide shuttle service on Friday for main event to/from most locations
FAQ

DRESS CODE?

More details to come, but directionally you can't go wrong with Riviera Chic: light, airy & elegant linens & pastels.

The temperature is usually in the 70's and 80's. (Definitely no black tie)

CHILDCARE?

For anyone planning to bring their children to France and may be looking for local childcare options, we have been recommended English-speaking Silly Billy's English speaking babysitters in France. The hotels all also provide top-class childcare services. While the main event is for adults, we can potentially provide nanny services suring the main event and beach club day if needed, please let us know.

GIFTS?

We are extremely grateful anyone would make the journey to celebrate with us in France and we do not take for granted the large time/effort/cost commitment. Your presence is the greatest present.

In lieu of gifts, we simply ask that you contribute generously to the European economy during your stay (and/or donate to your favorite charity).
