Booked via a request
Tell us the date, time, pick-up address, appointments and vehicle class; we send you a quote, all prices including VAT. For several days, vehicles or delegations we put together one combined quote.
Good to know for business trips to Paris
Paris and the neighbouring municipalities inside the A86 ring road form a low-emission zone (Zone à faibles émissions); only vehicles with a suitable Crit’Air sticker may enter.
The Boulevard Périphérique and the approaches to La Défense are often congested in rush hour. For departures and fixed appointments we therefore plan with a buffer.
The chauffeur drives you right to the door and handles arrangements about drop-off, hotel entrance or car park in French.
Day trips from Paris: meetings in the region
Versailles
Palace and town south-west of Paris, a destination for delegation programmes and receptions. From the Opéra: approx. 21 km, about 32 minutes without traffic.
Roissy and Villepinte
Around Charles de Gaulle Airport you find hotels, office locations and the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre – easy to combine with airport pick-ups.
For longer journeys, for example from Paris to Brussels or to Germany, the chauffeur drives you door to door – read more about city-to-city rides.
