Landing in Lyon still makes sense if your flights are easier there, or if you are spending time in the city first: your chauffeur can collect you at the airport, at Part-Dieu station or from an address in Lyon. On winter Saturdays, leave some margin.

In Megève, at the heart of the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, the chauffeur can stay with you during your holiday, by the hour or by the day: dinner, an evening out or a day in Chamonix. The car and its chauffeur in a suit and tie come from our agency in Chambéry, with no subcontracting.
