What is a typical day like at Lanton with a driver?
A day with a chauffeur in Lanton is divided into four parts: pickup at your address in Bordeaux, a 50-minute drive on the A63, drop-off at the port, the campground, or your rental property, followed by a custom-planned afternoon in the Arcachon Basin. Throughout the day, the driver is at your exclusive disposal: you relax while he drives you from one stop to the next — Andernos-les-Bains (11 min), Arès (17 min) or Arcachon on the other side (53 min). On oyster-tasting days, the driver doesn’t drink, so you never have to get behind the wheel. With child seats installed and luggage loaded, you set the pace while the driver handles the driving and parking. Budget from 246 € for the half-day (travel time + 3 hours on site) and from 431 € for a full day with Andernos, in the Eco class. Other options: Sedan, Eco Van, and Mercedes Van at the rate for the selected class.

They chose our chauffeur service for their vacation in the Bassin
"Two kids, a stroller, and our beach bags: the van dropped us off right at the campground at Lanton. Car seats were ready, and the price was as advertised. No stress at all compared to taking the train with a transfer in Biganos."
"Once we arrived in Bordeaux-Mérignac, we headed straight to the Bassin—Lanton is very close to the airport. Our driver arranged everything in English via WhatsApp. Fixed price, no surprises."
“Seven friends, a van, a day of oyster tasting around the Bassin. Dropped off at the port, then a stop in Andernos with the driver, who didn’t drink. Much easier than taking several cars.”
