Private driver in La Baule, from the bay to Escoublac village
La Baule-Escoublac is home to almost 17,000 people. Along the bay, between Pornichet and Le Pouliguen, the La Baule-les-Pins, town-centre and Benoît districts follow one another, while Escoublac, the old village, lies further inland to the north. S.C.O is based in Saint-André-des-Eaux, which borders La Baule-Escoublac.
Needs here are varied: holidays, hotels, conferences, business travel, restaurants, events, station and airport runs, local trips and long-distance journeys. S.C.O handles them by advance booking only, taking account of times, passengers and luggage. A VTC cannot pick up passengers who hail it in the street, which is exactly why the pick-up time, the meeting point and the right vehicle are all agreed beforehand.

Conferences and events
Hotels, Atlantia and seminars: a VTC chauffeur in La Baule
The Atlantia conference and festival centre hosts conferences, conventions and corporate seminars: its auditorium seats up to 900 people and the venue has around ten breakout rooms. It stands at the heart of the hotel district, a short walk from the beach, and La Baule Événements counts 900 hotel rooms in the immediate vicinity.
For a conference, a seminar, an evening out or a late return, a private car makes timings, luggage and groups much easier to manage. During the resort’s big annual events it pays to book early: the Jumping International de La Baule, held in June at the Stade François-André; the Triathlon Audencia La Baule, in September on the seafront promenade, which draws close to 70,000 spectators; and the La Baule Film and Film Music Festival, whose closing ceremony and concert take place at Atlantia.
The Atlantia and show calendar is published by La Baule Événements, and the tourist office lists the resort’s other highlights.
