About this route
Route overview
Paris is the capital of France, one of the most visited cities in the world (38 million tourists a year) and a global capital of art, fashion, gastronomy and luxury. Most clients fly Vienna-Paris (LH/AF/OS 2 h 15 min), but the private cross-border chauffeur transfer over 1240 km Vienna-Paris is regularly chosen by art collectors moving paintings and sculptures (climate-controlled V-Class boot, no airport X-ray), Christie's and Sotheby's auction guests, couples travelling to a Paris wedding (a wedding dress carried flat without folding), buyers at Fontainebleau luxury auctions, and clients who value privacy and discretion. Route: A1 Vienna-Linz-Salzburg (300 km, 3 h), A8 Salzburg-Munich (140 km, 1 h 30 min), A8/A5 Munich-Stuttgart (220 km, 2 h 15 min), A5/A4 Stuttgart-Strasbourg border (170 km, 1 h 45 min), A4 Strasbourg-Reims-Paris (470 km, 4 h 30 min). Total 1240 km, 12-13 h of driving plus breaks. A 2-day option with an overnight in Strasbourg (Hotel Cour du Corbeau, Régent Petite France) or Reims (Domaine Les Crayères) — day 1 Vienna-Strasbourg 850 km 8 h, day 2 Strasbourg-Paris 400 km 4 h. The service runs 24/7 with flight tracking on a VIE pickup. A standard plan for art collectors: 6:00 hotel pickup in Vienna, drive across Germany, 18:30 overnight in Strasbourg, day 2 8:00 departure, 12:30 Paris and a drop-off at Hotel George V (31 Avenue George V, Four Seasons) or Le Meurice on Rue de Rivoli, an afternoon at the Louvre or the auction. Alternative drop-offs: a private CDG Charles de Gaulle terminal for an onward flight, or Le Bourget LBG for a private jet pickup. From EUR 2800 in a Mercedes E-Class for 1-3 passengers (1-way, 2-day plan with overnight), from EUR 3200 in a V-Class for 4-6. A Vienna-CDG flight costs around EUR 200-450 economy or EUR 1200-2500 business — for four passengers the chauffeur transfer is competitive on time (no 3 h check-in, no security, no baggage wait) and gives door-to-door without connections.
