What is a typical day like at Souillac with a chauffeur?
A day with a chauffeur at Souillac consists of four parts: pickup at your address in Bordeaux, a 2-hour, 35-minute drive via the A89 and then the A20, drop-off in the heart of Souillac, followed by a custom afternoon exploring Quercy and the Périgord Noir. Throughout the day, the driver remains at your exclusive disposal: you relax, he drives, and takes you from one stop to the next— Rocamadour (25 min), the Padirac Chasm (less than 30 min), Sarlat (30 min) or Lascaux (40 min), with no worries about parking during peak season. You set the pace and the stops; the driver knows the area and handles the driving and parking. The half-day (travel time + 3 hours on site) starts at 552 €; a full day starts at 756 € with Rocamadour, in the Eco category: Sedan, Eco Van, and Mercedes Van at the rates for their respective categories.
