Premium private chauffeur in Orléans

Driver & Butler provides professional private chauffeurs in Orléans and across the Loiret. Founded in Nantes and operating since 2017, we pick you up at Orléans or Les Aubrais station, your hotel or your office, in a Mercedes sedan or van. We also drive you to the Paris airports, Orly and Charles de Gaulle, and to the châteaux of the Loire.

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.

Orléans stations and the Paris airports

Orléans has no direct TGV to Paris, but TER and Intercités trains link Paris-Austerlitz with Orléans station or Les Aubrais, in Fleury-les-Aubrais, in just over an hour. Orléans station is in the heart of the city, on tram line A. Give your train number when you book: your chauffeur follows your actual arrival time.

Orléans – Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel Airport has no scheduled flights: it mainly handles business aviation. Arriving by private jet? We can pick you up there too.

For scheduled flights, the airport to use is Paris-Orly, about an hour and a half by road. Paris-Charles de Gaulle is further away but handles most long-haul flights. We cover both 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)

Opened in January 2023 on rue du Président Robert Schuman, south of the Loire, CO'Met brings together an exhibition centre, a convention centre with an auditorium of about 1,000 seats, and an arena for up to 10,000 spectators. The neighbouring Zénith d'Orléans completes the site.

In the city centre, the Fine Arts Museum can be hired for receptions. For a truly special gala dinner, the Chambord national estate is less than an hour's drive away.

For companies, agencies and event organisers:

• transfers between the stations, the Paris airports, hotels and event venues, in sedans and vans;
• chauffeur by the hour or by the day, on request, for back-to-back meetings or site visits;
• 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: Orléans and the Loire châteaux

Orléans is the gateway to the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 from Sully-sur-Loire to Chalonnes. One more day after your meetings? A few ideas with a chauffeur.

• The historic centre: the Gothic Sainte-Croix Cathedral, rebuilt after the Wars of Religion and completed in 1829; the Hôtel Groslot, the former town hall where King Francis II died; the Joan of Arc House and place du Martroi.
• Chambord: the largest of the Loire châteaux, begun in 1519 under Francis I, set in a vast forest estate.
• Cheverny: home to the same family since the 16th century and open to the public since 1922. Hergé used it as the model for Marlinspike Hall in Tintin, and its pack of about a hundred hounds can be visited.
• Sully-sur-Loire, upstream: a waterside fortress remodelled in the early 17th century by Sully, minister to Henri IV.
• The Parc Floral de La Source, south of the city, where the Loiret river rises.

Two highlights: the Joan of Arc Festival (Fêtes johanniques), every year from 29 April to 8 May (a sound and light show on the cathedral on 7 May, a parade on 8 May); and the Festival de Loire, every two years in late September, which brings traditional boats to the quays. For local flavours, Orléans is still known for its vinegar and its cotignac, a quince paste. For visitors from further afield, including Asia, the trip combines easily with the châteaux and Paris, and we drive you door to door.
