FTC RIDER

offers private chauffeur transfers to and from Bordeaux, whose 18th-century riverfront quays earned the city its UNESCO World Heritage listing as the “Port of the Moon” — named for the crescent bend of the Garonne river around which the old town curves. Bordeaux is the world’s wine capital, at the heart of a region producing some of the most celebrated reds on the planet, from Saint-Émilion and Pomerol to the grand châteaux of the Médoc.

FTC Rider covers transfers between Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport and the city centre (around 30 minutes drive), plus connections to Bordeaux Saint-Jean station for TGV arrivals from Paris (just over 2 hours) and beyond.

Beyond the city, FTC Rider drivers regularly take clients on wine-country excursions to Saint-Émilion, the Médoc châteaux, and the Arcachon Bay and Dune du Pilat — Europe’s tallest sand dune — making Bordeaux an ideal base for both business travel and leisure touring.
