Gare du Nord, Lyon, Montparnasse, Est, Saint-Lazare and Austerlitz.
TL;DR — In short
Airports are built around waiting. Paris stations are not. They sit in dense streets, the taxi ranks were designed for a fraction of today’s traffic, and the drop-off points at Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon are among the most congested addresses in the city.
That is precisely why a pre-arranged car changes the experience. Your chauffeur knows which entrance is workable at that hour, meets you at the head of the platform where regulations allow it, and takes the luggage from there.
Eurostar arrivals at Gare du Nord are our most frequent station work. The concourse is busy, the exit is narrow and the taxi queue at six in the evening is a serious proposition. A car booked in advance removes all of it.
We track the train, so a delay out of St Pancras or Brussels costs you nothing and requires no phone call. The same applies to TGV arrivals at Gare de Lyon and Montparnasse.
Cross-Paris connections between two stations are common and awkward, particularly Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon with luggage. We handle them as a single booking, with the car held if your inbound train slips.
Airport-to-station and station-to-airport combinations are quoted as one journey rather than two, and the same chauffeur handles both legs.
At the head of the platform or at the designated meeting point, depending on what the station allows that day. You are told which before you travel.
We track it. The pick-up moves automatically and the delay is not recharged.
Yes, and it is one of the journeys where a private car earns its cost most obviously, particularly with luggage.
Thirty minutes from the scheduled arrival, and longer by arrangement for group movements.
