About this tour
Launch from Cannes seafront for a helicopter circuit above the French Riviera. Pick your duration—12 minutes skimming the Croisette and Lérins Islands, 25 minutes west to the rust-coloured Estérel peaks, 45 minutes along the Saint-Tropez coastline, or a full hour inland to Europe's answer to the Grand Canyon at Verdon Gorge. Your pilot narrates throughout. No shuttle included; arrive at the helipad yourself.
Highlights
- Turquoise shallows around the Lérins Islands from above
- Red volcanic cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean
- Saint-Tropez's wild southern capes and rocky inlets
- Verdon Gorge's emerald canyon carved inland
- Pilot commentary tailored to your route choice
- Flexible durations from quarter-hour to full hour
What to expect
You'll board a helicopter at Cannes and rise over familiar ground—the festival palace, the seafront promenade—then head toward your chosen zone. Shorter flights stay close to coast and islands. Longer circuits push west into the Estérel's dramatic geology or east toward Monaco, or veer inland where the Verdon cuts a deep emerald scar through limestone. Weather permitting, visibility is excellent. The rotor noise is managed but present. Your pilot will point out landmarks and answer questions.
