Cannes, Antibes, Saint-Tropez. The summer season here is intense — villa parties, yacht charters, rotating guests. Household staff need stamina, hospitality instincts, and the ability to stay calm when things get busy.
Cannes and Saint-Tropez represent the pinnacle of Mediterranean luxury living. During the season — roughly May through October — the population of UHNW families and their staff swells dramatically. Villas in Super-Cannes, Cap d'Antibes, and the hills above Saint-Tropez require full household teams.
Irving Scott places villa managers, private chefs, housekeepers, and butlers with families who own or rent properties across the Côte d'Azur.
Many positions involve managing high-profile entertaining during the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix season, and the summer social calendar. French language skills are highly valued but not always essential.
We've placed villa staff and yacht stewardesses for the summer season along the Riviera. Accommodation can be a challenge — many families provide staff housing nearby.
