Bordeaux → Sandaya Interlude Campground: Chauffeured transfer, train, car, or tour?
Short answer: Let's be honest — The Île de Ré does not have a train station. If you're traveling by train, get off at La Rochelle; from there, it's about 20 kilometers—including the bridge—by car: there's no direct train service to the campground. If you're driving, you'll have to deal with the toll bridge and, once you get there, parking is hard to find and expensive in the summer—on an island where people mostly get around by bike. The door-to-door chauffeured transfer runs from Bordeaux to the campground in 2 hours and 20 minutes, including the bridge, fixed rate from 339 €, with no additional charges. The chauffeured transfer fare is set before departure and includes the Île de Ré bridge. The taxi fares in the table are approximate estimates; the actual fare depends on the meter, the time of day, and traffic conditions.

How is your transfer to the Sandaya Interlude campground going?
Your transfer from Bordeaux to the Sandaya Interlude campground takes place in four stages: pickup at your location in Bordeaux—airport, train station, or hotel—loading your vacation luggage, a 2-hour-20-minute drive via the A10 and the Île de Ré Bridge (toll included), then drops you off at the campground reception desk in Bois-Plage-en-Ré. The driver handles the luggage, the stroller, and the child seats; you don’t have to carry anything or drive after a flight, and there’s nothing to pay at the toll booth. During your stay, the driver can return to pick you up for a stopover— Les Portes-en-Ré (~30 min) — or for the return trip, timed to match your train or flight schedule. Half-day service starts at 504 € for the half-day tour with a local driver, starting at 552 € For the leg of the trip through Les Portes-en-Ré, in the Eco category: Sedan, Eco Van, and Mercedes Van at their respective category rates.
Coverage
At your hotel, at the Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (with flight tracking), or at the Saint-Jean train station. The driver will load your luggage, stroller, and child seats—you won't have to carry a thing.
Trip to Île de Ré
About a 2-hour, 20-minute drive on the A10 toward La Rochelle, then across the Île de Ré Bridge (toll included). Wi-Fi, USB chargers, free water—and a stop along the way if the kids need one.
Drop-off at the campground reception
The driver will drop you off at the reception desk of the Sandaya Interlude campground in Bois-Plage-en-Ré, with your luggage already unloaded. Your vacation begins without having to worry about parking or navigating bridges.
During the trip and upon return
Transfer to Les Portes-en-Ré (~30 min) upon request, followed by pickup at the campground on the day of departure, timed to coincide with your flight or train schedule.
The campground does not have a train station: no train lines serve Île de Ré; the nearest station is in La Rochelle, about 20 km away (including the bridge). A family with luggage therefore arrives door-to-door with a private chauffeur, with no transfers—the driver knows the route, crosses the bridge, and handles everything from departure to check-in.
A Stop in Les Portes-en-Ré: Round Trip or Customized Stay
On an island where cycling is the best way to get around, transportation can be arranged to suit your needs: a door-to-door one-way trip extended by a stop in Les Portes-en-Ré at the other end of the island, a same-day round trip, or a multi-day stay with a driver who accompanies you. The driver stores your luggage in the trunk, drops you off at the reception desk, and can return during your stay.

Why not a shuttle or a platform?
Transfers sold on platforms like Viator or GetYourGuide add a commission of 15 to 35%, and no group tours serve campgrounds: fixed schedules, meeting points, and luggage restrictions. With direct bookings, you speak directly with the service provider handling your trip: the schedule is tailored to your flight or train, the vehicle is chosen based on your luggage—a van that fits 7 suitcases for a family—and any changes can be arranged in just a few minutes via WhatsApp.
When should I make a reservation?
For a weekday transfer from Bordeaux to the Sandaya Interlude campground, a reservation made 24 to 48 hours in advance is sufficient—confirmation within 30 minutes. Plan further in advance for summer Saturdays—the typical arrival day at the campground—long weekends, and peak season (July–August), when traffic to the island is heaviest. For families and groups traveling by van, allow 5 to 7 days. Drop-off on arrival + pickup at the end of your stay: both trips must be booked together, each at a fixed price.

They traveled to their campground on Île de Ré with our chauffeur service
“We arrived in Mérignac with four suitcases, a stroller, and two tired kids: we had everything loaded in five minutes and dropped off at the reception desk at the campground in Bois-Plage. The bridge toll was included, and the advertised price was the price we paid.”
“We made the reservation in English via WhatsApp; the driver was there even though our flight was delayed, and the child seats were already installed. Two hours and twenty minutes later, we were at the campground—without having to deal with the bridge or look for a parking spot.”
"Five friends, a van, all our gear in the trunk. We'll head straight from Bordeaux on a Saturday, then make a stop in Les Portes during the week. Much easier than taking the train to La Rochelle with a transfer."
