Private chauffeur for the Route du Rhum 2026 in Saint-Malo
For the 13th Route du Rhum, the village runs from 20 October
to 1 November 2026 and the race starts on 1 November 2026 at
13:02. Plan transfers in advance around access and traffic
constraints.
Route du Rhum 2026: key information in Saint-Malo
The 13th edition of the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe
is announced in Saint-Malo in autumn 2026. The event village
is scheduled to open from Tuesday 20 October to Sunday 1
November, and the race is scheduled to start on Sunday 1
November at 13:02.
The City of Saint-Malo presents the village around the Vauban
and Duguay-Trouin basins, Intra-Muros and the Saint-Vincent
esplanade. With the expected crowds, arrival times, hotels,
luggage, business appointments and return journeys should be
planned in advance.
Private chauffeur travel during the event
A chauffeur service does not replace the public transport
recommended for reaching the village. It can be used to
arrange arrival in Saint-Malo and travel around your
programme: a train-station transfer, hotel connection, return
after a day at the event, business appointment, guest
transport or a journey from the surrounding area.
S.C.O considers requests from private visitors and
professionals by telephone, SMS, WhatsApp or booking form. An
estimate is provided before confirmation according to the
journey, vehicle, time and information supplied; it does not
replace booking confirmation.
Traffic and access: plan a suitable drop-off point
During the event period, motor traffic is regulated in the
Intra-Muros and Sillon areas. The City provides passes for
authorised vehicles in the relevant zones, with restrictions
announced between 10:00 and 20:00, and until 22:00 on certain
days. Rules and routes may change and should be checked before
departure.
S.C.O does not guarantee direct drop-off inside the event
village or any restricted area. The practical drop-off point
depends on traffic conditions and the access rules in force:
it may be a hotel, the train station, a location in the wider
urban area or another meeting point compatible with
restrictions.
Train station, hotel and return transfers
Saint-Malo train station is a practical reference point for
visitors arriving with luggage or needing to make a
connection. Give the train, time, hotel or meeting point,
passenger number and luggage details so that a meeting point
can be planned in line with the announced traffic conditions.
For a stay, the request can cover arrival at a hotel, a
journey before the activities, a scheduled return or a
connection to another town in Brittany. The exact destination
always remains subject to the access conditions on the day.
Groups, families and businesses
A saloon or VIP vehicle can accommodate up to four passengers.
For a family, team, guests, seminar or more luggage, S.C.O can
consider a van or minibus request for up to eight passengers.
Passenger numbers, luggage, journey numbers and timings help
identify a suitable solution.
For businesses, arrangements can include guest transfers,
hotel appointments, seminars or a chauffeur at disposal on
request. Business invoicing can be requested from the booking
information provided.
Why book ahead?
Booking ahead does not guarantee special access or automatic
availability, but it allows time to prepare the journey.
Provide the date, preferred time, address or hotel, passenger
number, luggage, one-way or return requirement and preferred
vehicle.
Keep the official instructions available until the day of
travel: a traffic or safety update may affect how the transfer
is arranged.
