Book your privately chauffeured transfer in the Bordeaux area now or contact us to find out more about our additional services and benefits. Our family-run business looks forward to serving you throughout your stay in Bordeaux and the surrounding area!
Over several generations, the Group has developed unrivalled expertise in the chauffeur-driven transport industry. An expert in bespoke transport, Chabé is Europe’s leading employer of chauffeurs, with more than 350 year-round employees.
Carefully selected and trained to offer a first-class service, our chauffeurs’ professionalism, discretion and in-depth knowledge of the routes guarantee smooth, stress-free journeys.
At Chabé, we are proud of our team of highly qualified chauffeurs. Their commitment to excellence and their constant desire to surpass themselves are the pillars of our reputation. When you choose Chabé, you’re opting for expertise that goes beyond simple driving skills, offering an unrivalled travel experience.
As experienced chauffeurs with an in-depth knowledge of luxury service standards, all speak English and French, and many are proficient in a third language. In addition, some have acquired specific expertise, particularly in accompanying customers to prestigious hotels, as guides or roadshow specialists.
The expertise of Chabé’s chauffeurs goes hand in hand with their people skills. These skills are equally important to the company. Chauffeurs by vocation, they are committed to providing the best possible experience on every journey.
To ensure that our chauffeurs are optimally prepared and to guarantee a quality of service that lives up to our clients’ expectations, all of them receive training as soon as they arrive. This training encompasses the history of the family business, its values, its know-how – all the factors that have made Chabé the Group it is today.
Chabé is always on the lookout for new chauffeurs to match its expertise for sports events.
Anthony Dampa, Head of Recruitment and Training for Chabé chauffeurs, explains: “Initially, we collect applications, organise interviews and test their knowledge of the city. Once the future chauffeurs have been recruited, we put in place an ongoing training programme based on Chabé’s quality standards. Chauffeurs receive detailed information on how to prepare for each journey, with an emphasis on the cleanliness of the vehicle, personal appearance, how to present themselves, etc. Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional passenger experience. This includes punctuality, communication of the expected journey time, and attention to passenger comfort.”
The training of our chauffeurs and their well-being are essential to ensuring a quality service. This last point is fundamental to Chabé. That’s the reason why the family business has a Responsible Employer policy.
At Chabé, we always give priority to permanent contracts for all full-time chauffeurs: 86% of our employees have permanent contracts. Chauffeurs are paid fairly and well above the legal minimum in every city where we operate.
Our Diversity and Inclusion policy demonstrates our commitment to welcoming and promoting all talents to enable them to flourish within the Group. In a predominantly male sector, Chabé is stepping up its efforts to recruit talented women who are passionate about their work.
This charter aims to enrich the company’s diversity and provide an inclusive working environment for all.
By offering everyone a rewarding professional environment, we are contributing to positive change in our industry.
Chabé’s professional chauffeurs play an essential role in the Group’s reputation. Their dedication to excellence and their ability to deliver unrivalled transport experiences are the foundation of Chabé’s prestigious reputation.
Since its creation by Maurice Chabé in 1921, the Group has demonstrated excellence and prestige in many areas of bespoke mobility, particularly in the events sector.
One of our values is rooted in the DNA of the family business and perfectly embodies the investment and dedication of our teams: At Chabé, we like a challenge. We love unusual projects and contexts. Over the years, we’ve learned to do things we’ve never done before. Chabé’s expertise is unquestionable. To meet our clients’ needs as effectively as possible, the family business has developed a real culture of sports events.
As the finals of the Rugby World Cup 2023 in Paris and the Olympic Games 2024 approach, Chabé is preparing to play a key role in the logistics of these global events. Find out how Chabé’s expertise continues to evolve to meet the needs of major sporting events, with a focus on sustainability and exceptional customer experience.
Ever since the Football World Cup in 1998, Chabé has been making its expertise in event transport available to the biggest sports federations. Football, rugby, golf, racquet sports… whatever the scale or logistical difficulty of the event, Chabé does its utmost to rise to the challenge.
Every year, our events teams redouble their efforts to ensure that clients are transported. The upstream work requires several months of preparation, which enables us to be highly efficient every year.
Mélanie Quillier, Events Director at Chabé explains: “Organising an event often requires several months of preparation.
It starts with studying the specifications and understanding the expectations and challenges of each event, so that we can advise the client and offer them a bespoke organisation and timetable.
We then organise and take part in a large number of meetings, such as site scouting, kick-off meetings with the client and the various parties involved, training and briefings for our teams, etc. Planning the project, defining human and material requirements, selecting suitable profiles, monitoring the budget(s), etc. Our know-how, acquired over many years, means that Chabé is now the expert in getting you around on the day(s) of the event.”
However, these events would not be possible without our ambassadors, the Chabé private chauffeurs.
Initiated into the codes of luxury, they all receive training as soon as they join the Group. Over a two-week period, Chabé chauffeurs take part in a training programme that includes English and history classes, as well as a module focusing on emotional development. In addition, they are made aware of the correct behaviour to adopt and have to pass two driving tests in the company of customers.
Then there’s the event training, adapted to each event. Before the event, the chauffeurs receive detailed information about the event, the dress code, where to park and drop off passengers, how to introduce themselves, etc. “Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional customer experience. This includes punctuality, communicating the expected journey time, and paying attention to passenger comfort…” explains Anthony Dampa, Head of Chauffeur Recruitment and Training.
Thanks to our rigorous training, we maintain a prestigious quality of service, which has earned us the trust of many well-known sports clients.
Chabé has established itself as a trusted partner for sporting events. Over the years, the family business has built up a wealth of references, including the 2018 League Cup Final in Bordeaux, the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the Women’s Alpine Skiing World Cup in the Alps, the Ryder Cup and many others.
What’s more, the family business is proud to be able to meet the ecological needs of certain sporting events. The last tournaments in 2023 confirmed the Group’s environmental commitment. We observed a 15% increase in the number of low-carbon vehicles for the same event compared with the previous year, 2022.
At these sporting events, our expertise encompasses a multitude of services. To meet the needs of all our clients, Chabé offers, in addition to the event transport service, a transfer service to and from stations and airports for the arrival and departure of sports players, VIPs, the organising team, etc.
In addition to this expertise in managing the travel of players, staff and others, the family business also offers a punctual transport service for individuals wishing to travel to the event venue, as well as for all travel before and after the event.
Chabé’s expertise in the field of sports events has therefore developed well both in France and internationally, and we continue to establish ourselves as a leading international player in event transport.
The strategic location of our various agencies and our network of international partners means we can support you throughout your event, wherever it takes place.
For each sporting event, a project team made up of a project manager, experienced planners, dispatchers and coordinators deploys its expertise to manage the transport of events that are often out of the ordinary, involving up to 300 chauffeurs.
A team of experts is dedicated to managing the transport of events upstream of the event for each client in France and abroad.
After analysing requirements, a site survey is organised to propose the best route between passenger departures and arrivals.
On site, the teams recruit, select, train, supervise and coordinate, with the utmost discretion, to ensure that the transport experience matches the events imagined by its customers.
In addition, a team is dedicated to IT and admin support for the event, available 24/7.
Whether it’s an event with just a few cars or a large-scale event, everything is thought out and put in place to ensure that transport fits in as naturally as possible with what has preceded it or what will follow.
Last week, Chabé’s teams in Paris and Bordeaux played a key role in organising the transport of the British royal couple and their delegation. This large-scale mission required the mobilisation of almost twenty vehicles, demonstrating our ability to provide a high-quality bespoke transport service.
Transporting the British royal couple was an exceptional mission that highlighted our expertise in managing the travel of internationally renowned personalities. The sheer scale of the assignment presented a logistical challenge that we successfully met, ensuring that every detail of the journey was efficiently coordinated.
In addition, discretion and professionalism are at the heart of our services. We understand the importance of preserving the privacy of our clients, particularly when they are royalty. Our team of chauffeurs and coordinators have been specially trained to ensure a safe and stress-free journey.
This royal transport mission is testimony to our commitment to excellence. Each mission is an opportunity to demonstrate our dedication to providing a superior service. We would like to thank our teams in Paris and Bordeaux for their professionalism and dedication, which contributed to the success of this memorable mission.
We are proud of our ability to meet the unique needs of our clients throughout France and around the world, whether they are royalty, business leaders or discerning travellers. We look forward to continuing to offer French-style bespoke transport services, combining elegance, discretion and efficiency, to a diverse and discerning clientele.
On 22 and 23 September, our team in Marseille had the honour of managing the bespoke transport of Pope Francis and his delegation during his visit to the region. This exceptional mission underlines our commitment to quality of service and discretion, two of Chabé’s core values.
Pope Francis’ visit to Marseille was a moment of great importance for the city. For Chabé, it represented a major logistical challenge. We took responsibility for ensuring that every aspect of the trip ran smoothly, drawing on our expertise in managing the transport of high-ranking personalities.
At the heart of this mission was our commitment to excellence. Our chauffeurs and coordination team were meticulously prepared to ensure the comfort and safety of Pope Francis and his delegation during their journey.
Discretion has always been an essential feature of our services. We understand the crucial importance of preserving our clients’ privacy, especially when dealing with high-profile personalities. In the case of the Pope’s visit, this discretion was paramount, and we scrupulously respected it.
Expert in bespoke journeys, Chabé has recently acquired a new generation prestige vehicle. Born from the merger between Mercedes-Benz and the former Louis Vuitton’s Artistic Director, Virgil Abloh, the Mercedes-Maybach S Class S680 completes our luxury fleet.
Redefining luxury was the objective of this cooperation. A unique and futuristic work, the Virgil Abloh combines technological prowess and avant-garde design.
Created by Mercedes-Benz’s customization and craftsmanship team at the Sindelfingen factory, the S-Class is distinguished first by its aesthetics. A two-tone desert harmony of black and sand, a special “Mercedes-Maybach Virgil Abloh” logo, cushions and headrests in Nappa leather, comfort worthy of first-class.
Strictly limited to 150 units, the Mercedes-Maybach pushes the limits of experience. The comfort and space in the back of the vehicle are sufficient for working on your computer, especially during roadshows or business trips with a private chauffeur. There is a fridge to keep your drink cold and for any extras, a bottle of champagne can be provided on request. The highest levels of craftsmanship condensed into one vehicle.
The cooperation with Abloh is just one way in which Mercedes-Maybach stays grounded in innovation and evolution. A unique logo inscribed on the middle of the centre console, black floor mats with sand-coloured leather trim, at this level of prestige, even the smallest details of the S-Class strengthens its luxurious appearance.
At Chabé, we see technology as a means of providing an “enhanced service” to our clients. Two years ago, Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, said in an interview that “the future of mobility will be digital, on the condition that the technology allows us to improve the passenger experience”. This prediction is now coming true. The limited-edition S-Class is equipped with a customised user interface, which presents to the driver an even more luxurious variant of Maybach’s MBUX system. Handpicked visual elements are used to enrich the digital content: from the home button with coloured border to profile pictures decorated with luxurious fashion accessories.
Sometimes a video is worth a thousand words, discover the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach by Virgil Abloh in one minute:
The Mercedes-Maybach by Virgil Abloh can answer your most demanding expectations. Whether it’s a travel service to and from the region’s airports or a tour to discover the city of Paris, the art of French service at Chabé is reflected in its prestigious fleet.
Chabé firmly believes in the ability of its employees and values the ambition, determination and talent of each individual. The Group cultivates a culture of opportunity, the chance to grow and develop professional skills.
Today, the family business is proud to share the story of Anthony Dampa, a committed and passionate employee.
After obtaining his HR degree, Anthony Dampa decided to continue his studies in organisational management. At the same time, he joined Chabé in 2017 as a professional chauffeur, working on a series of fixed-term contracts. “I’ve never seen this job as a constraint. I started at the Paris International Air Show, and I immediately developed a real passion for my profession” shares Anthony. This vision and his commitment will enable him to sign his first permanent contract with the family business in 2019.
In 2020, thanks to his studies and his professionalism, Anthony is helping to organise a sporting event that is highly prized both in France and internationally. Asked to help again in 2021, Anthony says: “Thanks to my years as a professional chauffeur, I know what it’s like on the ground. That’s a real plus during interviews, as I can easily get a feel for the candidate based on their profile, presentation and way of expressing themselves, and above all test their knowledge of the city“. This opportunity gives her a new perspective on his future career…
From October 2021, Anthony Dampa will be moving on and enthusiastically embarking on his new role as Chauffeur Recruiter and Training. Thanks to his dedication and rigour, in 2023 he was appointed Manager of the same department, responsible for driver monitoring and quality control. To prepare this year’s events as effectively as possible, Anthony has trained and manages a team of 4 people.
“Chauffeur follow-up is essential” explains Anthony. “Initially, we collect applications, organise interviews and test their knowledge of the city. Once the future chauffeurs have been recruited, we put in place an ongoing training programme based on Chabé’s quality standards. Chauffeurs receive detailed information on how to prepare for each journey, with an emphasis on the cleanliness of the vehicle, personal appearance, how to present themselves, etc. Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional customer experience. This includes punctuality, communication of the expected journey time, and attention to passenger comfort… In addition to quality standards, chauffeurs must acquire a deep knowledge of the city’s topography and tourist information. During this training, they also have the opportunity to discover Chabé’s characteristic values and expertise.
As experienced professional chauffeurs, they know how to adapt to every type of clientele. All speak French and English, and many have a command of a third language.
During specific events, I visit the site to ensure that assignments are running smoothly and to exchange advice, always with a view to continuous improvement. I’m proud to work for Chabé, because my professional development goes hand in hand with my desire to help the Group grow.”
Chabé is a fast-growing company on a human scale, encouraging versatility and giving everyone the opportunity to express their talents. Team spirit, essential to the smooth running of operations, is omnipresent, as is customer culture.
If you’re looking for fascinating opportunities and want to work for a family business with expert in the field of mobility, join Chabé!
Once again, Chabé is proving its expertise with an internationally renowned sporting event. Attracting thousands of visitors to Paris, organising such an event requires rigorous planning and a taste for challenges.
To give you an idea of the scale of the preparations, logistics and coordination involved, take a look at some of the key numbers for this tournament, which ran from 22 May to 11 June:
5 months of organisation to prepare this exceptional event
… 35 days operation, 7 days a week
… more than 300 chauffeurs, aged between 22 and 65
… 184 partner vehicles, including 140 low-carbon vehicles (hybrid and electric), representing over 77% of the fleet
… an expert’s team of 20 people dedicated to the overall coordination of the event
These figures testify to Chabé’s team spirit, one of its main values, and reinforce its position as an expert in event transport.
This event is an opportunity to reinforce the company’s commitment to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). The organiser aims to reduce the carbon footprint of its tournament, reflecting the Group’s ambition to be a committed actor in favour of the environment.

After France, Switzerland, Monaco and the UK, Chabé is continuing to expand internationally with the opening of an office in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
As the hub of the Middle East, Dubai has rapidly established itself as a key destination for the Group: the highly fragmented local market offers mainly standardised transport services, while the region’s luxury hotel offer continues to expand, attracting a growing number of travellers, business people and prestigious events in sectors as varied as air defence, luxury, sport, tourism and the diplomatic sector.
At the end of 2022, Chabé took the strategic decision to set up in Dubai to offer a bespoke , differentiated and responsible chauffeured services across the country and the Gulf.
The project came to fruition with the acquisition of TLT Limo, a local car transport service provided by a chauffeur company renowned for the quality of its services and sharing the same values of excellence as Chabé. TLT Limo’s clients include several luxury hotels in Dubai, such as the Four Seasons Jumeirah, the Four Seasons DIFC, the Mandarin Oriental and the iconic Burj Al Arab.
Chabé Dubai is headed up by Laurent Euzet, who was previously head of Chabé Cannes and helped launch several of the Group’s other agencies, particularly in Monaco and the Alps.
The team on site has almost 40 people and a fleet of 35 vehicles: Mercedes V-Class, S-Class, Lexus, Cadillac Escalade, etc. Between now and the end of the year, we will be integrating new, latest-generation, low-carbon vehicles, in particular the new BMW I7, in order to offer a responsible transport service in line with the country’s objectives and the Group’s strategy.
“Opening our new office in Dubai is a key step in our development. We are convinced that our expertise, our highly personalised approach and our strong commitment to sustainable mobility will enable us to offer a new transport experience with a level of service unrivalled in the region,” shares Guillaume Connan, CEO of the Group.
Chabé is now present in 5 countries – France, Switzerland, Monaco, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates – with its own teams and fleet of vehicles. In addition to its own resources, the Group has forged strong partnerships with the best operators around the world, enabling it to accompany its customers wherever they go with the same level of quality.

The city’s architecture also contributes to its renown, with the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde basilica, the picturesque Panier district and the Mucem, a museum emblematic of Mediterranean culture.

Paris recently hosted to two major events in the fashion world. Men’s Fashion Week took place in Paris from 20 to 25 June, followed by Haute Couture from 3 to 6 July.
From the Pont Neuf to Place Fontenoy, Chabé is proud to have taken part in these two international events. In total, almost 445 vehicles with private chauffeurs were deployed to ensure the smooth running of Fashion Week. Once again, Chabé provided transportation for VIPs, journalists and employees of the greatest Luxury Houses.

“All for one, one for all” is the value illustrated by the organisation of these two events. Chabé’s employees, united and prepared, analyse your needs and then locate places to provide you the best possible itinerary. During Paris Fashion Week, several coordinators are assigned to a specific event such as a catwalk show, dinner, photo shoot, etc. To ensures the follow-up of the vehicles in real time, a back-office agent is dedicated to IT and admin support. Finally, a debriefing meeting following these two events is organised to prepare future Fashion Weeks, whether in Paris or internationally.
When success comes down to delivering the finest details, an organisation is only as strong as every player in the team. Chabé’s culture is deeply rooted in collaboration and team work; the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Our teams can answer your most demanding expectations to make your events shine.

In the last few years, Chabé has gradually developed its environmental commitment through a number of concrete actions. With a more eco-responsible fleet, plant-based bottles, a partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation and its contribution to carbon neutrality, the Group is evolving to become a major player in the fight against climate change in its field.
In 2022, Chabé joins the Great Challenge to rethink its role and responsibility in the face of this ecological challenge.
The ecological Great Challenge stems from an environmental observation: global warming. The question surrounding this issue is how to stem the tide.
These days, businesses play an important role in the ecological transition. As key players in the fight against climate change and the decline in biodiversity, it is vital for companies to join forces. This is the purpose of the Great Challenge:
Mobilising businesses and their ecosystems to create a new
model of economic prosperity, humanist and regenerative
Networks of companies, trade unions, associations and institutions, scientists, managers, students and citizens: the Great Challenge brings together a wide range of partners to strengthen its legitimacy and promote its deployment. Thanks to the financial support received from the sponsors, the ecological Great Challenge has gone from being a project to Great Consultation.
Through an inclusive and participatory process, Virginie Raisson-Victor and Jérôme Cohen, founders of the Great Challenge, want to bring companies together in the form of a “citizens’ convention”. The ultimate aim of the Great Challenge is to generate 100 proposals in favour of the environment.
Therefore, before any initiative, it is essential to carry out a survey of stakeholders in order to identify environmental obstacles and opportunities. This survey is officially known as the “Great Consultation”.
After several weeks of data processing by Bluenove, the Great Consultation will gather over 65,000 responses. Thanks to all this feedback, the project will move on to a new stage: the Great Deliberation.
After analysing the results, a draw was held to select several companies. At the end of the Great Challenge, these companies will be asked to put forward 100 proposals for overcoming environmental obstacles.
Thanks to this selection process, the companies chosen represent the diversity of the French economic fabric in the best possible way, based on four key criteria: number of employees, business sector, geographical location and company status.
From a base of 120,000 INSEE companies, 18,000 were selected to take part in this ecological challenge. In the end, only 100 companies were selected, and then had to nominate a manager, shareholder or employee to become a Delegate.
In May 2022, Chabé received the news of its participation and chose Flora Chaise, CSR Manager within the Group, to represent the family business as Delegate.
Following the draw, 6 sessions of 2 days each follow. Each plenary meeting is accompanied by experts of climate, biodiversity and the economy, to give the Delegates the best possible training and advice.
Each meeting, held in a different city, deals with a predefined theme:
A total of 50 conferences and 150 workshops were held over a period of 7 months to generate effective ideas. Following the Great Deliberation, 100 of these ideas were selected to move on to the next stage: the Great Diffusion, during which they will be communicated and shared.
The 100 proposals are divided into 11 topics: Governance, Commitment, Financing, Production Tools, Production, Logistics, Packaging, Distribution, Communication, Accounting and Remuneration.
In the form of an action manual, this booklet of 100 proposals is being distributed to business networks, Great Challenge partners, political players (President, government, elected representatives) and academic institutions.
Communicated to all, the objective remains the same since the Great Consultation: to accelerate our ecological transition and become a committed player in environmental issues.
Chabé actively supports the Great Challenge initiatives. The Group has already taken concrete action on some of the proposals, such as establishing a purpose associated with environmental objectives. In addition, the family business has implemented a packaging recycling system, the latest ecological innovation being the use of plant-based bottles.
The other proposals, which are feasible in our sector of activity, represent a real challenge for Chabé. Developing employee training and setting ambitious environmental targets – these new challenges will enable the family business to make a significant contribution to preserving the environment in the years to come.
