What is a typical day like at Vendays-Montalivet with a driver?
A day with a driver at Vendays-Montalivet consists of four parts: pickup at your address in Bordeaux, a 1.5-hour drive along the D1215 through the Médoc, drop-off in the village of Vendays or at Montalivet-les-Bains—whether you’re staying at a rental, campground, or vacation center—followed by a custom-planned afternoon. Throughout the day, the driver is at your exclusive disposal: you enjoy the experience, he drives—the beach in the morning, the town at noon, the ocean in the evening, or a detour through the villages of the Northern Médoc. You set the pace; the driver handles the route and parking, which can often be difficult in the height of summer. There’s no set return time: you decide on the spot whether to head back early or extend the evening. Plan for 306 € for a same-day round trip, starting at 322 € For a half-day rental (one-way trip plus 3 hours on-site) in Eco class; Premium Sedan, Eco Van and Mercedes Van are priced according to their respective vehicle classes.

They chose our private chauffeur to travel to the Nord-Médoc
