Saint-Émilion is one of the most visited destinations in Gironde — and for good reason. A medieval village listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, exceptional vineyards, troglodyte cellars, and refined gastronomy. Just 40 kilometers from Bordeaux, it's the ideal day trip. And the best way to get there? By VTC, without worrying about driving or parking.
What is the distance between Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion?
Saint-Émilion is located about 40 kilometers east of Bordeaux, which is a 35 to 45-minute VTC ride depending on traffic. The road runs along the Dordogne and passes through vineyard landscapes — a foretaste of the journey from the start.
Why travel by VTC rather than a personal car?
Parking in Saint-Émilion is limited and often paid, especially during high season. The village's narrow streets are not well-suited for traffic. And above all — you come to taste. Leaving your car in Bordeaux and entrusting the driving to BordeauxRide is the wisest decision.
What to do in Saint-Émilion?
Visit the underground cellars and the monolithic church carved into the rock. Stroll through the medieval streets and on the ramparts. Taste the appellation's grand cru wines in the many cellars and wine merchants' houses. Don't leave without the famous Saint-Émilion macarons — an unmissable local specialty.

Absolutely. BordeauxRide offers a full-day chauffeured service — your driver accompanies you from estate to estate, waits during your visits, and brings you back to Bordeaux at the end of the day. You set the itinerary, we manage the logistics.
