Chauffeur service in Bordeaux

Private chauffeur service across Bordeaux
Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is about 12 km west of the centre, and transfers to hotels in the Golden Triangle or near the Place de la Bourse take around 25 to 30 minutes, more at rush hour on the ring road. Saint-Jean station, with fast trains to Paris in about two hours, sits on the southern edge of the centre.
The city's UNESCO-listed riverside, the Chartrons wine-merchant quarter and the Bassins à Flot docks are popular bases. Most visitors, though, come for the vineyards: the Médoc châteaux along the D2 towards Pauillac and Margaux, Saint-Émilion and Pomerol on the right bank, and Pessac-Léognan and Sauternes to the south. Harvest in September and October is a busy and atmospheric time, and the Atlantic coast at Arcachon and Cap Ferret is about an hour away.

Getting around Bordeaux, the easy way
How do transfers from Bordeaux Airport work?
Bordeaux-Mérignac (BOD) is a compact airport west of the city. Your chauffeur waits in arrivals holding a name sign and tracks your flight, so your pick-up adjusts to delays. The drive to the centre takes about 30 minutes, though the ring road can slow at peak times. Direct transfers to Médoc or Saint-Émilion châteaux are also straightforward.
- Name-sign meet & greet in arrivals
- About 30 minutes to the centre
- Direct transfers to wine estates
How to plan a Bordeaux wine day by car
Bordeaux's main wine areas sit in different directions: the Médoc and its classified growths around Margaux, Saint-Julien and Pauillac to the north, Saint-Émilion and Pomerol to the east, and Pessac-Léognan and Sauternes to the south. Most châteaux receive visitors by appointment only. Two or three visits a day is a comfortable pace, and a chauffeur lets everyone taste freely.
- Médoc: 45 min to 1 hour
- Saint-Émilion: about 50 min
- Book château visits in advance
Day trips to the Atlantic coast
Arcachon and its oyster villages are about an hour from Bordeaux, and the Dune du Pilat, Europe's tallest sand dune, lies just beyond. Cap Ferret takes a little longer by road around the bay. Further south, Biarritz and the Basque coast are about two hours away, making them realistic as a long day out or as a one-way transfer.
- Arcachon and Dune du Pilat: about 1 hour
- Cap Ferret: around 1 h 15 min
- Biarritz: about 2 hours
Business travel in Bordeaux
Business visitors arrive mainly via Saint-Jean station and Mérignac Airport, with offices around Euratlantique near the station and the aerospace companies around Mérignac. The Parc des Expositions and the Palais des Congrès in Bordeaux-Lac host trade fairs and conferences in the north of the city. Hourly hire keeps a car and driver on standby between meetings.
- Saint-Jean station pick-ups
- Bordeaux-Lac exhibition and congress centre
- Hourly hire for meeting days
