Private Chauffeur

Fête des Lumières is one of the most prestigious events in the French social calendar: five days of world-class flat racing, extraordinary fashion, and the enduring traditions of the VIP enclosure. For those fortunate enough to attend, the journey there is part of the occasion itself.

FFGR Lyon has been providing chauffeur services to Fête des Lumières Racecourse for over a decade. Our chauffeurs know every approach route, every traffic pinch-point, and every protocol required for a seamless, on-time arrival. Your vehicle is presented immaculately, your chauffeur is dressed impeccably, and the entire experience, from doorstep to racecourse gate, is handled with the quiet precision that has become the hallmark of FFGR Lyon.

Whether you require a solo transfer in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a paired arrival for two in the Ghost Black Badge, or a corporate group transfer aboard our luxury VIP Sprinter, FFGR Lyon provides the right vehicle and the right level of service for every Fête des Lumières occasion.

Your FFGR Lyon chauffeur does not simply drop you at the gate and leave. They remain on standby throughout the entire race day: available to assist with champagne hampers and picnic deliveries, repositioning the vehicle as required, and ensuring your departure is as effortless as your arrival, regardless of what time you choose to leave.

For corporate hospitality groups and private house parties, our luxury VIP Sprinter and V-Class fleet accommodates up to 19 passengers in surroundings that rival the finest private lounges. Chilled refreshments, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an attendant on longer journeys are available on request, transforming the transfer itself into an extension of your Fête des Lumières hospitality experience.

FFGR Lyon also coordinates with hotels including the Cour des Loges, the Villa Florentine, and Cliveden House for guests requiring seamless door-to-racecourse arrangements as part of a wider Lyon luxury itinerary during race week.

FFGR Lyon operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Early morning departures, late-night returns, last-minute changes at midnight: your chauffeur is reachable, responsive, and ready. A single WhatsApp is all it takes to set the day in motion.

Every FFGR chauffeur is background-verified, DBS-cleared, and trained in advanced VIP protocols. Immaculate dark uniform, white gloves on request, formal vehicle presentation before every journey. The person opening your door represents the standard of the house, and that standard is impeccable.

What is said in an FFGR vehicle does not leave it. No phones, no records, no curiosity. NDAs are available on request for long-term arrangements and high-profile clients. Your privacy is not a feature: it is a fundamental commitment.

Share your chauffeur's real-time position with your PA, your security team, or your family. FFGR Lyon provides live tracking on every journey, so the right people always know where you are, and everyone else does not.
