Experiences

Every journey becomes a visit. Every stop, a memory.

Since 1983, we have driven our passengers well beyond the Paris ring road. Our private-chauffeur experiences and excursions pair a high-end fleet (S-Class, EQS, BMW i7, Maybach and the V-Class for groups) with English-speaking chauffeurs who know the Île-de-France, Champagne, Normandy and the Loire Valley. Every day is built to measure, from pick-up at 18 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré to the return, with bookings, timings and routes handled for you.

How we organise your day

01

Your request

You tell us the date, the number of passengers and the places you have in mind. We propose a costed itinerary, the right vehicle and a door-to-door duration estimate.

02

Planning and bookings

Once the excursion is confirmed, we book skip-the-line tickets, cellar or château visits and the lunch table. You receive the timed plan and the name of your chauffeur.

Your chauffeur collects you at 18 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré or at your hotel. He stays on hand between each stop, adjusts timings to your pace and gives you information in English or French.

04

The return

At the end of the day, we bring you back to your starting point or to any other address, station or airport. A quick debrief lets us fine-tune your future excursions.

Does the chauffeur wait on site during visits?

Yes. The chauffeur stays at your disposal for the whole excursion, between each stop and during the visits. You never have to park or watch the clock.
