Taxi Nice — Mandelieu-la-Napoule
Golf, castle and gateway to the Estérel
A taxi between Nice and Mandelieu-la-Napoule costs between €75 and €90 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 38 kilometres and a journey time of from 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A8, exit 40, Mandelieu, with ~€4 in tolls (Nice–Mandelieu section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €120. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Mandelieu-la-Napoule is a seaside town stretching between the foothills of the Tanneron and the Gulf of la Napoule, at the gates of the Estérel massif. It is best known for its two prestigious golf courses: the Riviera Golf de Barbossi (18 holes in a woodland setting) and the Old Course Cannes-Mandelieu (founded in 1891, one of the oldest in France), attracting golfers from around the world. The Château de la Napoule, a medieval fortress rebuilt by American sculptor Henry Clews in the 1920s in a whimsical style blending Gothic and Art Deco, stands by the sea with its romantic gardens. Mandelieu is also the capital of mimosa: in February, the Mimosa Festival celebrates the golden bloom of the Tanneron massif, Europe's largest mimosa forest. The port of la Napoule and the Raguette beach complete the picture of this elegant resort.
