Arriving by train with suitcases, staying near Abbesses or heading home after a show in Pigalle? When you book a chauffeur in Montmartre, give your destination and agree on an address where the car can stop. On the hill, even two places that look close on a map can be a steep street or a flight of steps apart.
Where to meet your chauffeur in Montmartre
At your hotel or at the foot of the hill
Give the hotel name and street number. If the hotel has several entrances, specify which one you will use with your luggage. Check the confirmed meeting point before leaving reception. For a pickup near Pigalle or Rue Lepic, include the street number and, on a boulevard, the side of the road where you will wait.
After visiting Sacré-Cœur or Place du Tertre
Agree on your pickup point before walking up the hill. A landmark that is easy to find on foot may have nowhere for a car to stop. Ask your chauffeur to confirm a permitted stopping point and allow time to walk there. If anyone in your party has limited mobility, explain how far they can walk and whether they need a route without steps.
To plan the walking part of your visit, see our guide to Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur.
Transfers between Montmartre, Paris stations and airports
| Journey | Details to give when booking |
|---|---|
| Gare du Nord or Gare Saint-Lazare to your hotel | Give your arrival station, train number and hotel address. Agree on a station exit so you know where to meet your driver. |
| Paris-Orly or Charles de Gaulle Airport to Montmartre | Provide your flight number, arrival date, number of passengers and luggage details. After collecting your bags, go to the agreed meeting point. |
| Montmartre to a station or airport | Give your train or flight departure time. When choosing a pickup time, allow for the walk to the car, traffic and the arrival time recommended by your airline or rail operator. |
One-way transfer, return trip or several stops?
A one-way transfer works well for a station-to-hotel journey. For dinner, a show at the Moulin Rouge or a wedding, you can also book the return journey if you know when you will be leaving. Choose a meeting point that is easy to recognise after dark and share it with everyone in your group.
For a photo shoot or several appointments in Paris, ask about booking a chauffeur by the hour. List your stops and say how long you will need the car. Confirm the waiting arrangements and pickup point for each stop. If you would like a guided visit or assistance in English, mention this when booking.
Before you book
How can I get a quote?
Send both addresses, the date and time, any intermediate stops and your preferred vehicle. If you are comparing two separate transfers with an hourly booking, ask for the price of each option and how much waiting time it includes.
Which vehicle should I book for children or extra luggage?
Tell us how many people are traveling, how many large suitcases you have, whether you are bringing a pushchair and which child seats you need. A saloon may suit a couple. For a family or group, confirm that there is room for your luggage as well as seats for everyone. The Mercedes V-Class carries up to seven passengers. A Mercedes Vito for up to eight passengers is available on request.
Can I book on the day?
Yes, subject to vehicle availability and booking confirmation. For an early departure or a late pickup after a show, book as soon as you know the time. First Class Partner provides pre-booked transfers around the clock, seven days a week. Book a private chauffeur.
