Private Jet Charter Paris to Saint-Tropez

Q: How long is Paris to Saint-Tropez by private jet?

About 1 hour 19 minutes over 712 km from Le Bourget to La Mole, and we publish the same figure for the return. Nice is 694 km and Cannes 695 km, so the air time is effectively identical wherever you land on this stretch of coast - the differences are all on the ground. Allow roughly fifteen minutes either side of the flight itself.

Q: Can we land at Saint-Tropez itself?

At La Mole, which is the airfield for Saint-Tropez and a short drive from the port. Whether your aircraft can use it is a separate question: the runway is short by business-aviation standards and the larger cabins are simply excluded. Light jets and turboprops are what operate there. Tell us the party size first and we will tell you whether La Mole stays on the table.

Q: Can we arrive in the evening?

Not at La Mole. It does not operate at night, so a late departure from Paris means arriving somewhere else. Nice is open far later and takes any aircraft, and a helicopter or car finishes the journey. We would rather tell you that when you give us the dates than have you discover it on the day, so give us the hour you want to be at the villa and we will work backwards from it.

Q: Nice or La Môle?

La Mole if the aeroplane fits and the hour works, because the drive afterwards is short. Nice if the party is large, the luggage is real, the arrival is late, or the date is in the first half of August, when the small fields are at their tightest. The honest way to decide is to price both: the difference in the air is minutes, and the difference on the ground in high summer can be two hours.

Paris to Saint-Tropez is 712 km and about 1 h 19 in the air, Le Bourget to La Môle, and on the right aircraft it lands you fifteen minutes from the port. La Môle is a small airfield with a short runway and no night operations, so the aeroplane is chosen to fit the airfield rather than the other way round. Indicative price from €3 800 for the whole aircraft, one way. Send the dates and a written quotation follows within 30 minutes; the desk answers at any hour on +357 95 119759.

Eighty minutes from the capital to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, landing at the little airfield in the valley behind it rather than at Nice and driving for two hours. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs.

The route at a glance

The flying here is trivial and the choice of airfield is not. La Môle sits in the valley a short drive inland from Saint-Tropez, and arriving there instead of at Nice saves the part of a July journey everyone dreads: the coast road. The price of that convenience is a genuinely small airfield — a runway short by business-aviation standards, which rules out the larger cabins, and no night operations. Nice and Toulon carry anything at any hour and cost you the road. That is the whole trade, and it is best made before the aircraft is chosen.

Distances are great-circle figures between airport coordinates in the OurAirports open dataset, so the track flown is longer. The time is a model estimate fitted to flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes on this website, and routing, wind, slots and aircraft type all move it. We describe La Môle’s limits qualitatively on purpose: runway figures and operating hours at a small seasonal airfield go stale, and the handling agent holds the current ones.

Which airports we use

One decision, made at the southern end, and it sets everything else. The question is not really which airport: it is whether you would rather land close and accept a limit on the aeroplane, or fly any aircraft you like and accept a drive.

Airport	Codes	Great-circle from Le Bourget	Suits you if
La Môle Saint-Tropez	LTT / LFTZ	712 km	The closest arrival to the gulf and the reason this page exists: a short drive to the port rather than a long one along the coast. The runway is short by business-aviation standards, so what uses it is light types and turboprops, and it does not operate at night. Traffic is seasonal and parking is finite. Raise it first, because the answer decides the aeroplane.
Nice Côte d’Azur	NCE / LFMN	694 km	The practical alternative and, with 37,425 business-aviation movements in 2023, one of the two busiest such airports in Europe. It takes any cabin at any hour and has the deepest handling on the coast. What it costs you is the road west along the Var, slow in high summer. A helicopter transfer from Nice removes that and is a normal part of these trips.
Toulon-Hyères	TLN / LFTH	not published	West of the gulf rather than east of it, which for Saint-Tropez is frequently the shorter drive of the two large-airport options. Handling is lighter than at Nice and the choice of aircraft on the day is narrower, so it works best when the trip is planned rather than improvised.
Cannes Mandelieu	CEQ / LFMD	695 km	The business-aviation field of the Riviera proper, and also size-limited and restricted at night. It is the right answer when Cannes rather than Saint-Tropez is where the week is being spent. Paris to Cannes is a route we publish in its own right.

Aircraft for Paris to Saint-Tropez

712 km is nothing to any of these aircraft, so range plays no part. Two things do. The first is the airfield: a short runway is a hard limit, checked before anything else. The second is luggage, because a summer party for a week carries far more of it than a business party for a night.

Embraer Phenom 300

Six to eight passengers, 2.27 m³ of hold and a flight attendant — the only light jet on this website whose specification page lists one. The type we look at first when the arrival is La Môle rather than Nice.

See the Embraer Phenom 300 ›

Cessna Citation XLS+

Seven to eight passengers in a stand-up cabin and the largest hold of the three at 2.55 m³. A midsize aircraft wants a larger field, so this one usually means arriving at Nice or Toulon and finishing by road or helicopter.

See the Cessna Citation XLS+ ›

Hawker 800XP

Six to eight passengers, full galley, separate lavatory, 5,463 km of range. Far more aeroplane than this sector needs, which is exactly why it is chosen when Saint-Tropez is one stop in a longer Mediterranean week.

See the Hawker 800XP ›

All three have their own pages in our fleet. The binding question on this route is never the distance, it is whether the aircraft fits the airfield — tell us how many of you there are and how much you are bringing, and we will tell you which arrivals stay open. See also luggage limits.

What it costs

From €3 800 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, rounded down. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.

We have found no published whole-aircraft route price for Paris to Saint-Tropez from a source we would reprint, so the figure above is calculated: the bottom of the published European light-to-midsize hourly rate applied to the flight time on this page, rounded down. It is a floor derived from market rates, not a quotation and not a tariff.

On a sector of eighty minutes the hourly rate is only part of the story, and in July and August the smaller part. What dominates is positioning: the Riviera fields fill with aircraft that have delivered somebody and have nowhere to sit, so a quotation is really a question about where a suitable aeroplane already is. It is why the same aircraft is priced differently on two consecutive Fridays.

The other lever is the shape of the trip. If you know the return date, ask for both legs together: the aircraft repositions once instead of twice, and on a short sector that is a larger share of the bill than the choice of type. Because the coast generates repositioning flights all summer, empty legs are worth asking about on any date that can move.

When to fly, and when to book early

This is a holiday route and it has one of the sharpest seasonal curves on the website. For nine months of the year it is quiet and easy; for about ten weeks it is one of the busiest short sectors in Europe, and the thing that runs out in those weeks is ground capacity at the southern end rather than aeroplanes in the sky.

Period	What happens	What to do
July and August	The peak, and an unusually concentrated one. Fridays and Sundays carry most of it, the small coastal fields fill, and the road from Nice slows exactly when everyone wants it.	Three to four weeks for a Friday or a Sunday, and settle the arrival airfield before the aircraft type. If the dates are fixed and the party is large, plan on Nice and a helicopter.
June and September	The best weeks of the year to fly this route and, in September, arguably the best to be there. Demand is real but not concentrated into two days, and parking and handling become available again.	One to two weeks. September is where short notice and good weather overlap, which is a rarer combination than it sounds.
May and October	The shoulders. The coast is open, the Riviera events calendar fills part of May, and prices fall away sharply once the first week of October has passed.	A week is usually enough, except across the May event weeks, when the whole coast books early.
November to April	Out of season. La Môle keeps a seasonal rhythm rather than a year-round one, and traffic to the gulf is a fraction of the summer figure.	Short notice is realistic, but ask us to confirm that the airfield is open on your date before you plan around it — and expect Nice or Toulon to be the sensible answer.

Along the coast from Saint-Tropez

Almost nobody flies to this part of the Côte d’Azur and goes straight home again, and the sectors between the coastal fields are short enough to be afterthoughts.

Cannes and the Riviera

Paris to Cannes is 695 km and about 1 h 17 — within a kilometre or two of this route, and the better arrival if the week is being spent east of the gulf.

Nice, and everything beyond it

Nice is the coast’s deep-water port for aircraft: any cabin, any hour, the widest choice on the day.

Questions we get about this route

How long is Paris to Saint-Tropez by private jet?

About 1 hour 19 minutes over 712 km from Le Bourget to La Môle, and we publish the same figure for the return. Nice is 694 km and Cannes 695 km, so the air time is effectively identical wherever you land on this stretch of coast — the differences are all on the ground. Allow roughly fifteen minutes either side of the flight itself.

Can we land at Saint-Tropez itself?

At La Môle, which is the airfield for Saint-Tropez and a short drive from the port. Whether your aircraft can use it is a separate question: the runway is short by business-aviation standards and the larger cabins are simply excluded. Light jets and turboprops are what operate there. Tell us the party size first and we will tell you whether La Môle stays on the table.

Can we arrive in the evening?

Not at La Môle. It does not operate at night, so a late departure from Paris means arriving somewhere else. Nice is open far later and takes any aircraft, and a helicopter or car finishes the journey. We would rather tell you that when you give us the dates than have you discover it on the day, so give us the hour you want to be at the villa and we will work backwards from it.

Nice or La Môle?

La Môle if the aeroplane fits and the hour works, because the drive afterwards is short. Nice if the party is large, the luggage is real, the arrival is late, or the date is in the first half of August, when the small fields are at their tightest. The honest way to decide is to price both: the difference in the air is minutes, and the difference on the ground in high summer can be two hours.

How much does a private jet from Paris to Saint-Tropez cost?

From about 3,800 EUR one way for the whole aircraft as our own indicative floor. We have found no published price for this exact pairing from a source we would reprint, so the figure is the bottom of the published European light-to-midsize hourly band — from about 2,900 EUR an hour, against a published top of roughly 9,700 EUR — applied to the 1 h 19 flight time and rounded down. In July and August what actually moves your number is positioning rather than the rate.

Is there any border formality?

None worth the name. Both ends are in France, so this is a domestic flight: no immigration, no customs. Send us the passenger list anyway, because the handling agents at both ends need it, and at a small seasonal airfield the handling arrangements are the thing worth confirming early rather than the paperwork.

How much luggage can we take?

On a summer trip this matters more than the seat count, and it is volume rather than weight that runs out. The three types here carry 2.27 m³, 2.55 m³ and 1.40 m³ of hold respectively, which is a wider spread than most people expect within what looks like one class of aeroplane. Golf bags and hard cases are the usual culprits. Tell us what is coming and we will size the aircraft to it.

Should we book the return at the same time?

On a short sector, yes, and more than on a long one. Whether the aircraft waits for you on the coast or flies back empty and returns changes the price by a larger proportion here than the choice between aircraft types does, simply because the flying itself is cheap and the repositioning is not. Tell us the shape of the whole trip before you ask which aeroplane.

Are there empty legs, and can I buy a single seat?

This corridor produces empty legs all summer, because the coast runs on aircraft delivering people and needing to be somewhere else afterwards. They are led by dates rather than routes, so tell us which day could move. On flights we open for sharing you can buy a single seat rather than the whole aircraft. Current empty legs and jet sharing.
