Taxi Nice — Théoule-sur-Mer
The Corniche d'Or and the red rocks of the Estérel
A taxi between Nice and Théoule-sur-Mer costs between €80 and €100 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 42 kilometres and a journey time of from 40 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A8, exit 40 then D6098 (Corniche d'Or), with ~€4 in tolls via the A8 (none along the coast). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €130. 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.

Théoule-sur-Mer is a small seaside resort nestled at the foot of the Estérel massif, where the spectacular red porphyry rocks plunge into the turquoise Mediterranean. It is the starting point of the Corniche d'Or, one of Europe's most beautiful coastal roads, winding 30 km between Théoule and Saint-Raphaël with breathtaking views of blood-red calanques and crystal-clear waters. The Estérel massif, with its 32,000 hectares of forest and peaks culminating at Mont Vinaigre (618 m), offers a striking contrast with the coast: the red volcanic rocks, 250 million years old, create a landscape unique in the Mediterranean. Théoule has several small sheltered sandy beaches, an intimate marina and the Château de Théoule, a former 18th-century soap factory converted into an events venue. Far from the bustle of nearby Cannes, Théoule is a sought-after haven of peace.
Route
Route Nice → Théoule-sur-Mer
From Nice, take the A8 motorway towards Cannes. Exit 40 'La Napoule / Théoule-sur-Mer'. Then follow the D6098 towards Théoule-sur-Mer (5 km from the exit). The road runs along the seafront, passing the port of la Napoule before reaching Théoule. To enjoy the Corniche d'Or (D6098), continue beyond Théoule towards Le Trayas and Agay: this is the most spectacular section. The driver can suggest an outbound trip via the motorway (fast) and a return via the Corniche d'Or (scenic), for the best of both worlds. Allow an extra 30 minutes for the Corniche.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Nice → Théoule-sur-Mer route
The Corniche d'Or is a must: ask the driver to take it at least one way. The finest viewpoints are at Le Trayas and the Pointe de l'Aiguille. The calanques of Théoule (Calanque de l'Aiguille, Calanque du Petit Caneiret) are accessible via short trails from the road: bring swimwear and a towel. La Figueirette beach, a small sandy cove between the red rocks, is a gem. In summer, traffic on the D6098 can be heavy at weekends: a weekday trip or early morning departure is preferable. Hikes in the Estérel start from the Col de Théoule or the Gratadis car park.
