Saint-Martin-de-Ré and its citadel, the Phare des Baleines lighthouse, the salt marshes of Loix, La Flotte in the late afternoon. The driver drops you in the heart of each village and waits for you.
The bridge, Saint-Pierre and Le Château-d'Oléron, the colourful oyster huts, the Chassiron headland. A view of Fort Boyard from the coast, or boarding for a cruise.
The Green Venice from Coulon or Arçais, a boat ride, lunch by the water, back via Niort or through the villages.
A visit to a major house or a small producer, Jarnac, the Charente river. The driver drives, you taste.
A day in the vineyards or the city: Saint-Émilion, the Médoc, or Bordeaux and the Cité du Vin. Early start, evening return.
The Old Harbour (Vieux-Port) and its towers, the aquarium, Châtelaillon, Fouras and the Pointe de la Fumée: half a day to see the essentials.

How it works
You are not following a group, the driver follows your plan. He waits for you at every stop, loads your shopping, suggests a detour if the weather turns.
From your hotel or the port
A stopover at La Pallice, a hotel in La Rochelle, a rental on the Île de Ré: the driver collects you and brings you back at the agreed time.

A vehicle and a driver just for you, from 3 hours to several days. You decide the stops, he drives, waits and advises.
The driver collects you from your hotel or rental at the agreed time. You may have a plan or just a few wishes: he knows the region, the market days, the lanes where you cannot park and the beaches where you can. He drops you as close as possible, waits while you visit or have lunch, and sets off again with you. The vehicle stays at your disposal for the whole agreed duration, with your belongings on board.
You choose the duration at the start: a half day of 3 or 4 hours, a full day, or several days in a row to explore the coast, the islands and the vineyards. The fare is set beforehand, based on the duration and the planned mileage.
The Île de Ré in a day: Saint-Martin, Ars, the Phare des Baleines lighthouse, the salt marshes and a beach on the west coast. Oléron: Le Château, Saint-Pierre, the Chassiron headland. On the way, Fouras and the pier for the Île d'Aix or a cruise past Fort Boyard.
The cognac houses are about 1 h 30 from La Rochelle: a day with two visits, lunch and a driver to bring you home. Towards Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion and the Médoc, allow a long day or two days with a night there. The driver drives, you taste.
The Green Venice is an hour from La Rochelle: a boat trip in the morning, lunch in Coulon, back via Niort or along the coast. Rochefort with the Corderie Royale and the Hermione, Brouage and its ramparts: half a day is enough, a full day lets you add Fouras and the beaches.


No, per vehicle and per duration. A van for seven therefore works out cheaper per person than an organised tour. The fare is confirmed before departure and includes the driver, fuel, the Île de Ré bridge toll and waiting time.
He drives, waits for you, advises on stops and timings, and knows the region. He is not a licensed tour guide: for guided visits of monuments, he drops you at the entrance and collects you at the exit.
Yes, that is the point of having a driver at your disposal. Only the agreed duration counts; if you extend it, the driver tells you the additional amount before continuing.
3 hours. Beyond that, half a day, a full day or several days.
Île de Ré, Oléron, Marais Poitevin, Cognac, Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion are the most frequent. Any other destination on request.
He is not a licensed tour guide, but he knows the region, advises on stops and timings, and drops you in the right place. For a guided visit, we can put you in touch with a guide.
Yes. Two days between Cognac and Saint-Émilion, three days along the coast between Ré, Oléron and Royan: the quote covers the driver, the vehicle and travel expenses. Accommodation is at your expense, we are happy to advise.
Date, duration, number of passengers and what you would like to see: we come back to you with a plan and a fare.
