Luxury private driver in Saint-Malo

Every year, Saint-Malo welcomes travellers from all over the world: British visitors stepping off the ferry, Americans arriving from Paris by train, lovers of thalassotherapy and fine dining. Signature Bretagne offers them a luxury private driver service: one dedicated driver for the whole stay, a prestige saloon prepared before every pick-up, and a programme planned with you.

All our drivers speak English. From the quote to the last journey, you deal with the same house, by phone, by email or on WhatsApp, in English or in French.

• Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW i7, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz van for up to 7 passengers
• Personal welcome at the rail station, the ferry terminal and Dinard airport
• Trains, ferries and flights tracked in real time
• A detailed written proposal before every booking

Guests at an ocean-race start, executives attending a seminar, public figures staying at a hotel within the ramparts: a VIP service is all about the details. Your driver, in dark attire, knows the permitted access routes into the walled city, arrives ahead of time, carries the luggage and knows how to stay discreet.

In the evening, he drives you to a Michelin-starred table in Saint-Malo or Cancale, then brings you back whenever suits you. For a full day, a chauffeur at your disposal stays with you from one meeting or visit to the next.

There are three ways into Saint-Malo. The station, served by direct high-speed trains from Paris-Montparnasse in under three hours. The ferry terminal, where ships arrive from England and the Channel Islands. And Dinard airport, across the Rance estuary, about a quarter of an hour away, for private and business flights.

At each of them your driver waits at the exit with a sign bearing your name. If you arrive through Rennes airport, we provide the direct journey to your hotel, in about an hour.

The old town, enclosed within its ramparts and known as Intra-Muros, has narrow streets and restricted access. Hotels inside the walls do not always have a stopping place at the door. Your driver knows the permitted access routes, drops you as close as possible and carries your luggage.

Beyond the ramparts, the long Sillon beach leads to Paramé and its sea-water spa. In Saint-Servan, the Solidor tower watches over the Rance estuary. At low tide you can walk out to the Grand Bé, where the writer Chateaubriand is buried.

• Hotels inside the walls and along the Sillon
• The Paramé thalassotherapy spa
• Restaurants and Michelin-starred dining in Saint-Malo and Cancale
• Ocean race starts and major sailing events

Saint-Malo sits at the centre of three classic excursions. Cancale, some twenty minutes away, for oysters eaten facing the bay and the view from the Pointe du Grouin. Mont-Saint-Michel, under an hour away, best approached early in the morning or late in the day, once the crowds have gone.

And Dinan, half an hour inland: an almost intact medieval town, with its ramparts, half-timbered houses and its port on the Rance. These three stops can be combined in one day, or enjoyed one at a time.

The Saint-Malo area hosts weddings, seminars and major sailing events throughout the year. We organise guest arrivals, shuttles between hotels and venues, and late-night returns.

During a stay, the same driver is with you each day: dinner in Cancale, a day along the Emerald Coast as far as Cap Fréhel, a drive across the Rance barrage to Dinard. Everything is handled in English or in French, which our many British and American clients appreciate.

A British couple step off the ferry with luggage for a week: a welcome at the ferry terminal, check-in at the hotel, then three outings during the stay, to Cancale, Mont-Saint-Michel and Dinan. An ocean-racing crew need regular shuttles between the harbour, the hotel and Dinard airport.

An American family tracing a relative’s history wish to travel from Saint-Malo to the D-Day beaches in Normandy and return in the evening. Friends celebrating a birthday at a restaurant in Cancale want to go home together, by van, whenever they please. Every request receives a written proposal.
