A chauffeur, not just a transfer

- Programme changes handled on the spot
- A quiet car to work, make calls or rest between meetings
- Sedan for up to 4 passengers, van for up to 8
Business days and roadshows
Visiting several clients, sites or partners in one day? Your driver collects you at the airport or station, drives you from meeting to meeting across Lyon and the region, and takes you back in the evening. Companies can be invoiced monthly, with a reference or cost centre on each booking.
- Wi-Fi on board
- Water and phone chargers
- Discreet professional drivers
- Monthly invoicing
Weddings, events and evenings out
For a wedding, a gala dinner or an evening at the Opéra, your driver takes you there, waits and brings you back, so you can enjoy the evening without worrying about driving or parking. For guests of a wedding or seminar, see our group transfers.
Wine tours in the Beaujolais and Burgundy
Lyon is the gateway to some of the world’s most famous vineyards: the Beaujolais just north of the city, and Burgundy with Beaune, Meursault and Nuits-Saint-Georges a little further. With a private driver, you go from estate to estate, taste freely and are driven back to Lyon in the evening. Tell us which estates you would like to visit, or ask us for suggestions.

A chauffeur at your disposal is priced by the hour, half day or full day, depending on the programme, the distance covered and the vehicle. Send us your programme and we reply within 10 minutes with a fixed quote, including tolls, parking and waiting time. For simple journeys, see our fixed prices.
