Premium private chauffeur in Le Mans

Driver & Butler provides professional private chauffeurs in Le Mans and across the Sarthe. Founded in Nantes, in the same region, and operating since 2017, we pick you up at Le Mans station, your hotel, your office or the gates of the circuit, in a Mercedes sedan or van. We also drive you to the airports of Paris, Nantes and Tours, and to the Loire châteaux.

The price is fixed and known before you book: our engine calculates it as soon as you enter your journey. No surge pricing: night, weekend and public holiday surcharges are set in advance and shown in the quote. Tolls are extra.

Le Mans station and the airports around Le Mans

Le Mans station is the city's gateway. On the high-speed line, Paris-Montparnasse is about 55 minutes away, and other TGV services run to Rennes, Angers and Nantes. The station has two sides: the north exit leads to the city centre and tram lines T1 and T2, the south exit to the Novaxis business district. Give your train number when you book: your chauffeur follows your actual arrival time.

Le Mans-Arnage Airport (LME), about 7 km south of the centre, has no scheduled flights: it mainly handles private aviation, especially during the big races. Arriving by private jet? We can pick you up there too.

For scheduled flights, there are three options: Paris-Charles de Gaulle, the major international hub; Nantes Atlantique Airport; or Tours Val de Loire Airport, the closest, which has a handful of routes, including Marrakesh. We cover all three at a fixed price (see the sample prices above). Give your flight number when you book: your chauffeur tracks your actual landing time. As an option, your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign.

You can follow your flight or train live on our flight tracking and train tracking pages.

Business travel, meetings and conferences (MICE)

The Palais des Congrès et de la Culture, on rue d'Arcole in the Cité Cénomane, is a few minutes from the station. Its main lecture theatre seats 1,400, alongside smaller auditoriums and reception rooms. A renovation and extension programme for the building is under way, so check with the venue which spaces are available on your dates.

The 24 Hours circuit, south of the city, also hosts corporate events: the permanent Bugatti Circuit and the 24 Hours Museum, with more than a hundred vehicles on display, suit seminars and client days. During the big races, hotels are full and traffic is heavy, so book your transfers early.

For companies, agencies and event organisers:

• transfers between the station, the airports, hotels, the circuit and event venues, in sedans and vans;
• chauffeur by the hour or by the day, on request, for back-to-back meetings;
• corporate account with monthly invoicing and negotiated rates;
• Factur-X (EN 16931) electronic invoices and the carbon footprint of every ride, calculated with the ADEME method.

For an event or regular volume, tell us what you need on our business and partners page.

Extend your stay: racing, heritage and the flavours of the Sarthe

One more day in the area after your meetings? There is far more to Le Mans than the race. A few ideas with a chauffeur, for lovers of motor sport, history and good food.

• The 24 Hours circuit: the race track is 13.626 km long, partly on roads that are open to traffic the rest of the year. The 24 Hours of Le Mans takes place every June (13 and 14 June in 2026); the 24 Heures Motos is held in April and the French motorcycle Grand Prix in May. The 24 Hours Museum, at the circuit entrance, tells more than a century of motoring history.
• The Cité Plantagenêt: the old town, high above the River Sarthe, keeps its half-timbered houses, cobbled lanes and one of the best-preserved Roman city walls in France, which earned Le Mans its nickname of "the red city". In summer, after dark, the Nuit des Chimères projects images onto its façades and walls.
• Saint-Julien Cathedral: a Gothic choir consecrated in 1254 and some of the oldest stained glass in France, including the Ascension window, dated to around 1120.
• The Royal Abbey of l'Épau, on the edge of the city: a Cistercian abbey founded in 1229 by Queen Berengaria of Navarre, widow of Richard the Lionheart, whose tomb effigy it houses.
• Solesmes Abbey, near Sablé-sur-Sarthe: a renowned centre of Gregorian chant, whose services are open to the public.
• The Loire châteaux: Villandry and its Renaissance gardens, a World Heritage Site as part of the Loire Valley, and the whole Touraine château route.

For local flavours, rillettes are the great speciality of Le Mans; to the south, the Loir valley produces Jasnières, a white wine made from Chenin Blanc. For visitors from further afield, including Asia, the trip extends easily to Paris, Nantes or the châteaux, and we drive you door to door.
