Private Helicopter Flight: Cannes, Monaco & the Côte d'Azur from Above

Ascend above the Riviera in a private helicopter and see in 20 breathtaking minutes what takes hours by road — the crimson Cap d'Antibes, the white yachts of Cannes bay, and Monaco's toy-box principality tumbling to the sea. The ultimate luxury perspective on the French Riviera.

What to expect

Transfers from the port bring you to Cannes-Mandelieu heliport in minutes. As the rotors lift you clear of the coast, the full sweep of the Côte d'Azur unfolds — the red-roofed villas of Cap d'Antibes, the Esterel massif glowing terracotta, the Lérins Islands floating in turquoise. Flying east, Monaco appears like a jewel soldered to a cliff, its harbour dense with superyachts. The return arc over the Bay of Cannes frames the Croisette and your own ship below — a view you will never forget. Flight time 20–40 minutes depending on route.
