Private chauffeur in Bordeaux and the vineyards
A world wine capital and a UNESCO listed city, Bordeaux reads through its cellars as much as through its eighteenth century facades. We run discreet logistics here, linking the city, the airport and the great growths.
Our service in Bordeaux
Private chauffeur, transfers and day hire
Maison Chevalier Prestige has driven its clients to Bordeaux from Paris and within the region itself. Our house has operated since 1983 with a fleet of 52 vehicles, from the Mercedes S-Class saloon to the Maybach, under REVTC licence. The chauffeur knows the left bank, the quays and the access roads to the chateaux. His driving stays measured, his discretion practised.
The vineyard day forms the core of our Bordeaux offer. We build a tailored route through the Medoc, from Margaux up to Pauillac, or towards the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion. The chauffeur waits through each tasting, handles the cases you purchase and adjusts timings to the estates' appointments. You taste freely. We take the wheel and the road home.
Worth the drive
The places we drive you to
The Place de la Bourse and its water mirror open the city onto the Garonne, facing the reclaimed quays. The Cite du Vin traces the history of the terroirs beneath its glass shell. The Chartrons district, the old merchants' stronghold, lines up antique dealers and wine bars. The Grand Theatre recalls the neoclassical golden age. To the south-east, Saint-Emilion unwinds its medieval lanes and monolithic church. Further north, the Medoc chateaux route runs through Margaux, Saint-Julien and Pauillac, where the first growths cluster. We link these points at your pace.
Place de la Bourse et miroir d'eau
Eighteenth century classical ensemble whose water mirror reflects the facades, a natural starting point for a tour of the quays.
Cite du Vin
Museum of undulating architecture devoted to the cultures of wine, upstream on the Garonne, fitting before a day among the estates.
Saint-Emilion
Listed medieval town with its rock-cut monolithic church and right-bank estates around forty minutes away by road.
Quartier des Chartrons
Former wine merchants' quarter, its warehouses now galleries, wine bars and a Sunday market along the quays.
Grand Theatre
Victor Louis's neoclassical house, colonnade and grand staircase, at the centre of Bordeaux's golden triangle.
Chateaux du Medoc jusqu'a Pauillac
Great growths route through Margaux, Saint-Julien and Pauillac, home to several first growths of the 1855 classification.
Airports & stations
Your arrival points
Bordeaux-Merignac airport sits about 15 km west of the centre; our chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall. Gare Saint-Jean places Paris around 2 hours away by TGV, some 580 km, and remains our most frequent pickup point. From either, we reach your hotel, then the Medoc or Saint-Emilion to the agreed plan.
Why us
A Paris house since 1983
A day in the vineyards demands more than a car: a chauffeur who keeps to the estates' timings, carries your purchases without fuss and lets you taste without restraint. Since 1983, we have held to that standard. A fleet of 52 vehicles, REVTC licence, an oenophile's eye for detail.
