What is a typical day like at Blaye with a driver?
A day with a chauffeur from Blaye is divided into four parts: pickup at your address in Bordeaux, a 55-minute drive along the estuary, drop-off at the foot of the citadel, and then a custom-planned afternoon in the Haute Gironde and Blayais regions. Throughout the day, the driver is at your exclusive disposal: you relax while he drives and takes you from one stop to the next—Bourg-sur-Gironde (20 min), the Blayais wine estates (10 to 25 min), Saint-André-de-Cubzac (25 min), or Saint-Émilion (45 min). You set the pace and choose the stops; the driver knows the region and handles the driving and parking. Prices start at 277 € for a half-day (round trip + 3 hours on site) and at 308 € for a full day including Bourg-sur-Gironde, in the Eco category; Sedan, Eco Van, and Mercedes Van are priced according to their respective categories.
Coverage
At your hotel, home, Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, or Saint-Jean Train Station. Departure at the time of your choice—no set time slots on the estuary side.
Journey to the Estuary
A 55-minute drive to the Haute Gironde and the right bank of the estuary, via the highway and then the Estuary Road. Wi-Fi, USB chargers, free water—and a coffee break if you'd like.
Drop-off at the foot of the citadel
Blaye offers self-guided tours without a timed ticket: you can explore at your own pace, moving between the city, the ramparts, and the harbor. Meanwhile, your chauffeur remains at your exclusive disposal.
Afternoon à la carte
Direct return to Bordeaux, or stops in the Haute Gironde region—Bourg-sur-Gironde (20 min), one or two wineries in the Blaye region (10 to 25 min), Saint-André-de-Cubzac (25 min), Saint-Émilion (45 min). The itinerary can be adjusted on site.
Blaye is an ideal starting point for exploring the Haute Gironde and the estuary: the vineyards and villages are scattered along small hillside roads—a driver who knows the region will help you avoid detours and allow you to go from one tasting to the next without having to drive yourself.

When should I make a reservation?
For a Bordeaux Blaye transfer or a weekday trip, booking 24 to 48 hours in advance is sufficient—confirmation within 30 minutes. Plan further in advance for long weekends and peak season (July–August), as well as for the “Blaye Wine Festival” in April. For groups traveling by van, allow 5 to 7 days. For business trips or recurring stays: negotiated rates and a dedicated driver are available.

They chose our chauffeured transfer for their day on the estuary
