Day trips from Paris with your private chauffeur
A chauffeur and vehicle for the day: your chauffeur waits during the visit or lunch and drives you back to Paris. In Île-de-France — Versailles, Fontainebleau — the half day (5 hours, 150 km included) and the full day (10 hours, 350 km included) are at a fixed price. Further afield — Giverny, Champagne, Normandy — the price is per kilometre and confirmed before you book.
Packages in Île-de-France
The chauffeur stays at your disposal for the whole package: drops you off, waits, drives you from one address to the next. Beyond the hours or kilometres included, extra hours and kilometres are charged at the vehicle’s rate.
