Bodyguard in Nice — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the wider French Riviera?

Yes. Our Nice-based network extends across Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cap d'Antibes, Antibes, Cannes, Eze and the Maritime Alps, coordinated seamlessly with the region's luxury ecosystem.

Can you coordinate superyacht security?

Yes. For clients with yachts in Port Lympia or chartering through Côte d'Azur coordinators, we manage maritime security, port access, tender operations and crew liaison.

Are your operatives licensed in France?

Yes. Our Nice operatives hold valid French SSIAP licensing, many with French Foreign Legion or National Police backgrounds, fluent in French and English with Italian and Spanish available.

Can protection stay completely discreet?

Yes. Many clients seek protection that remains invisible during leisure. Our operatives are trained to manage security logistics while remaining entirely unseen.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
