Bordeaux → Armillac: Chauffeur service, train, car, or tour?
Short answer: Armillac does not have a train station. The nearest operating train station is Marmande, about an hour from Bordeaux by TER, but then there's still about twenty kilometers without public transportation: you then need a connecting taxi or rental car for the final leg of the trip. The door-to-door executive car service eliminates that very step: the advantage is that you can arrive right at your doorstep, in a group, with luggage, and travel throughout the Lauzun region (Lauzun, Marmande, Duras, and its vineyards) without having to worry about schedules or rent a car.

What is your day like in Armillac with a driver?
A day with a chauffeur in Armillac is divided into four parts: pickup at your address in Bordeaux, a 1.5-hour drive via the A62 and then through the Garonne Valley, drop-off at your doorstep in the Val du Dropt, followed by a custom afternoon exploring the Duras vineyards and neighboring villages. Throughout the day, the driver remains at your exclusive disposal: you relax while he drives and takes you from one stop to the next—Lauzun (13 min, 10 km), Marmande (23 min, 20 km), Duras (28 min, 25 km), Miramont-de-Guyenne (8 min, 6 km), or a winery in the Côtes de Duras region. You set the pace and the stops; the driver knows the area and handles the driving and parking. Plan on 370 € for the half-day (travel time + 3 hours on site) and from 555 € for a full day with Lauzun, in the Eco tier; Executive Sedan, Eco Van and Mercedes Van follow their respective tier rates.

Why not a group outing or a platform?

When you book directly, you speak with the service provider who organizes your tour: the itinerary adapts to your pace and preferences—Armillac and the Val du Dropt in the morning, a winery in Duras or the bastide of Lauzun in the afternoon—and any changes can be arranged in just a few minutes via WhatsApp.
When should I make a reservation?
For a transfer from Bordeaux to Armillac or a weekday trip, booking 24 to 48 hours in advance is usually enough — confirmation within 30 minutes. Plan ahead, especially during long weekends and peak season (July–August), when the Duras vineyards and the markets in the Lauzun region are very crowded. For the groups travelling by van, plan on 5 to 7 days. Wine tourism trips or recurring trips: negotiated rates and a dedicated driver may be available.

They chose our private chauffeur for their stay in the Lauzun region
"We made a stop in Armillac to see the family home: the driver dropped us off right at the door, without stopping in Marmande. The advertised price was the price we paid, including tolls."
“A day trip from Bordeaux: Armillac, the bastide of Lauzun, and a winery in the Côtes de Duras. Our driver arranged everything in English via WhatsApp. A fixed price, no surprises on these small roads through the Val du Dropt—and no one had to drive after the tasting.”
“Five friends, a van, a day trip between Armillac, Marmande, and Duras. The driver knew the area and handled the distances between stops. Much easier than taking a series of trains to Marmande and then a taxi to the village.”
