Frequently asked questions — Nice

Real questions from APEX clients in Nice: matching, booking, hotels, travel, dress code.

How quickly is a model matched in Nice?

30-60 minutes in an ordinary week for selection and agreement; the full cycle from first message to confirmation is 30-120 minutes. For the same evening out of season — usually 30-40 minutes. During the May festival weeks and in August — up to two hours, because availability is checked across the whole coast rather than the city alone.

How much does companion service in Nice cost?

€1,500 for 2 hours, €2,000 for 4 hours in the base segment. Media segment — from €3,500 for 2 hours and from €5,000 for 4 hours. Prices in euros; payment in cash, by transfer or in cryptocurrency.

And a night, 24 hours, two days — how much?

On request. Those formats carry too many variables: the date in the coastal calendar, the route, the overnight stay, the return transfer. The manager states the terms straight away when you ask, before any booking.

Can we take a trip to Monaco?

Yes, it's one of the most frequent scenarios: 25 minutes on the A8, about 22 kilometres. Terms for the trip are on request, separately from base Nice pricing. It's agreed at least a day ahead, and for the Grand Prix at the end of May — two to four weeks ahead.

Do you work in Cannes, Antibes, Èze, Saint-Tropez?

Yes, along the whole coast. Cannes 30 minutes, Antibes 25-30, Èze 20, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 20, Menton 40, Saint-Tropez 1.5 hours out of season and up to three hours in August. Anything closer than Cannes fits into one evening; Saint-Tropez in high season is planned as a separate day.

Which hotels in Nice do you work with?

The core circle is Hôtel Negresco, Anantara Plaza Nice, Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée, Le Méridien Nice and Boscolo Nice. Out of town — Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Cap d'Antibes and the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat. We also work with apart-hotels and rented residences on request.

Is it realistic to arrange a meeting right after landing at NCE?

Yes, if the flight is known in advance. The model meets you in the Terminal 2 arrivals hall or waits at the hotel — we suggest the second option more often, it's calmer. The airport to the centre is 20 minutes by car, about half an hour on tram line 2.

How much travel time should I allow along the coast?

Count in time, not kilometres: Èze 20 minutes, Monaco 25, Cannes 30, Saint-Paul-de-Vence 30, Menton 40, San Remo around 50 minutes. In July and August, and on festival days, add anywhere from 30% to double. We always work the route out with you before booking, so the drive doesn't swallow half the slot.

Is companion service on a yacht in Port Lympia possible?

Yes, it's a regular format from May to October. The model arrives at the quay at the agreed time and boards at the crew's invitation; we fix the name of the vessel and the name of the captain in advance — a standard safety measure. If the yacht goes out to sea, the route, duration and return transfer are agreed separately.

What's the dress code at the Michelin-starred restaurants?

For Le Chantecler at Negresco — jacket for the guest, cocktail or long dress for the companion. Flaveur and JAN are smart casual, but a dress works better than jeans. La Chèvre d'Or in Èze is evening elegant. The model is briefed for the specific venue; you don't need to remind her of anything.

How far ahead do I need to book a table?

Flaveur — a small room and two Michelin stars, so two to four weeks in season. La Chèvre d'Or in Èze — two weeks minimum, more for the terrace in summer. JAN — one to two weeks. La Petite Maison and Le Bistrot d'Antoine — a few days, earlier in August.

May on the coast — is everything really booked out?

Essentially, yes. The Cannes Film Festival takes the middle of the month and the Monaco Grand Prix the last weekend, and those two weeks fill the entire coast. Plan two to four weeks ahead, with a deposit and the model fixed. Nice is the most workable base in those days: 30 minutes to Cannes, 25 to Monaco.

Do you work in winter, out of season?

Yes, all year round. From October to January the choice is wider and agreement faster — same-day is common — and since part of the beach restaurants are closed, evenings move into the city: Vieux Nice, Carré d'Or, hotel restaurants. In February the city wakes up for the Carnival.

What's the minimum meeting format?

2 hours; we don't take less, and that's a rule across the whole APEX network. But in Nice two hours really only covers the city format: an aperitif and dinner. For any trip out — Monaco, Cannes, Èze — the working minimum is 4 hours, otherwise most of the time goes on the road.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Cash in euros, bank transfer by SEPA or SWIFT through the manager, cryptocurrency — USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20) and BTC. We accept dollars at the current rate, by agreement. Returning clients have access to post-payment and a season deposit.

Is a deposit required for the first booking?

Yes, usually 30-50% the day before the meeting, the balance on meeting. On peak dates — festival May, August, the Monaco Yacht Show — the deposit is higher and is paid two to four weeks ahead with a specific model fixed. Returning clients work without prepayment.

Can we meet at a villa or in rented apartments?

Yes. For returning clients with no further conditions; for new ones we usually suggest a neutral hotel or restaurant for the first meeting and a private address from the second. For a monthly or seasonal rental in Nice, on Cap Ferrat, in Mougins or on Cap d'Antibes we work from the moment the lease is confirmed. The address isn't kept on file and is passed only to the model for the specific meeting.

What about confidentiality?

Communication only through end-to-end encrypted messengers, no calls and no e-mail. Client data goes to no one; meeting details and addresses are wiped from working chats within 72 hours. We operate within the GDPR framework, with data deletion on request within 24 hours.

How do I cancel or reschedule?

Free of charge — at least 24 hours ahead in an ordinary week and 7 days ahead on peak dates (festival May, August, the Monaco Yacht Show). Later than that, a compensation share, usually 30-50% of the fee; for cancellation an hour before the meeting, half the slot. Rescheduling to another date with the same model carries no penalty if she's free.
