South of France to the Monaco Grand Prix: A Bespoke Route Idea
Riviera and Provence driving roads, exceptional hotels and a finale at Formula One's most glamorous race: a route idea for private and corporate groups.
Our Most Popular Journey, Made Bespoke
Our most popular journey has been the drive to the Monaco Grand Prix: since 2014 we have run around ten Monaco Grand Prix tours, starting from London, Spain and the South of France.
We have started these journeys from all over Europe. The sweet spot turned out to be the South of France: shorter transfers mean more time spent enjoying the hotels each day, with many great roads close by, before the convoy arrives in Monaco for Grand Prix weekend.
For private groups and companies, this route idea can be shaped around your dates, guests and hospitality, with decades of experience behind every detail.
A Sample Outline: About Eight Nights
This is a route idea to inspire your own journey, not a fixed package. Every Renisetté tour is designed around your dates, group, cars and pace, and priced individually. Hotels, restaurants and experiences are subject to availability.
Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Arrive at Domaine du Mas de Pierre, about 20 minutes from Nice Airport, for a relaxing afternoon and a welcome dinner at La Table de Pierre.
Into the Var: Château de Berne
Backroads past the olive groves of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the shores of Lac de Saint-Cassien and the hilltop villages of the Pays de Fayence, then ridge-to-ridge roads through the vines to Château de Berne, a Relais & Châteaux wine estate, for a Michelin-starred dinner.
Le Castellet and Circuit Paul Ricard
Lunch at Hôtel du Castellet, then the spa or a driving experience at Circuit Paul Ricard, home of the French Grand Prix. Dinner at Restaurant Christophe Bacquié.
Saint-Tropez
Through vineyards and pine forests over the Massif des Maures to Hotel Sezz, then a long lunch at Club 55 on Pampelonne Beach and a relaxed evening at the hotel.
Gorges du Verdon and Terre Blanche
Lunch at La Bastide de Moustiers, a scenic drive through the Gorges du Verdon on part of the Route Napoléon, and a private dinner at Terre Blanche in Tourrettes.
Into Monaco
Lunch at Chef Alain Llorca's Michelin-starred restaurant near Saint-Paul-de-Vence, then the drive into Monaco, taking in parts of the Route Napoléon.
Grand Prix weekend
Qualifying and race day with VIP hospitality, for example aboard a trackside superyacht in the harbour or on a VIP terrace, subject to availability.
The Lead Vehicle & Convoy
The lead vehicle is the heartbeat of the convoy. Driven by a professional driver with an experienced tour manager navigating, it stays one step ahead, confirming routes, checking conditions and refining timings, with clear radio briefings and smooth convoy spacing.
A support vehicle follows at the rear, with luggage vehicles and support staff carrying bags between hotels, nightly valeting, pre-loaded navigation and in-car radios.
- Lead vehicle: Porsche 992 GT3 Touring or similar
- Rear support vehicle: Aston Martin DBX or similar
- Navigation pre-loaded with the route, and in-car radios
- Luggage vehicles, support staff and nightly valeting
