American Stretch Limousine Hire in Chatou (78)

Chatou sits on the western edge of Paris, on the great bend of the Seine between Rueil-Malmaison and Le Vésinet, about fifteen kilometres from the city centre. For visitors, expatriates and business travellers based here, our chauffeur-driven American stretch limousines turn an ordinary journey into part of the occasion itself. We collect you at your door, in the quiet residential streets above the river or on the island itself, and the rest of the evening is ours to handle.

Our fleet covers the classics of the genre: the long Lincoln Town Car and Lincoln Navigator, the Hummer H2, the Chrysler 300C, and the Mercedes V-Class van for larger groups who want to travel together. Champagne is on board, the service is all-inclusive, and pricing is always given on quote so you know exactly where you stand before you book.

A town made for arriving in style

Chatou is best known for its island in the Seine, the Île des Impressionnistes, once called the Île de Chatou. This is where Renoir set up his easel at the Maison Fournaise, the riverside restaurant that inspired his Luncheon of the Boating Party in the early 1880s. Monet, Degas and Caillebotte all passed through the same boating haunts. The house still stands, with its museum and terrace above the water, and remains one of the prettiest spots on this stretch of the river.

Nearby you will find the eighteenth-century Nymphée de Soufflot, a garden folly built in 1777 to shelter a spring, and the twice-yearly Foire de Chatou (the national ham and antiques fair) that fills the island in spring and autumn. A limousine drawing up outside your hotel or your home before dinner or a fair day suits the setting: this has always been a town people came to for pleasure on the water.

One practical note about the streets

A stretch limousine is a long vehicle, and Chatou's older centre near the church of Notre-Dame and the lanes running down to the river are narrow, with tight turns and limited kerbside space. Access onto the Île des Impressionnistes itself, across the bridge, is restricted and cramped for a vehicle of this length. Our chauffeurs know the town: they will agree a sensible, comfortable pick-up and set-down point with you in advance, usually on one of the wider avenues, rather than attempting a manoeuvre that keeps you waiting. It is a small detail, but it is the kind of thing that separates a chauffeur who knows the ground from one who does not.

Airport transfers to and from Chatou

Chatou is well placed for both Paris airports. Charles de Gaulle (CDG) lies to the north-east, typically around forty-five minutes to an hour by road depending on traffic through the ring roads. Orly, to the south, is a similar run via the A86. Le Bourget, for private aviation, is also within easy reach.

Rather than juggling luggage on the RER A from Chatou–Croissy station, you step straight out of your home and into the car. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, waits if you are late, and meets you in arrivals. For a family arriving with cases, or a business group landing after a long-haul flight, the difference is felt the moment you walk out of the terminal.

Weddings on the Seine

Chatou marriages are registered at the town hall (mairie) before any religious or civil celebration. A stretch limousine between the ceremony, the photographs and the reception gives the day a clear rhythm, and the riverside settings around the island make for photographs you will actually want on the wall. We coordinate timings with your venue and your photographer, and we can carry the couple in one car with the wider party following in the V-Class. Champagne travels with you.

Birthdays, hen and stag parties, and Paris by night

For a birthday or a hen or stag celebration, the car becomes the first venue of the evening. From Chatou it is a short run into western Paris and La Défense, and a straightforward drive to the Champs-Élysées, the quays along the Seine and the clubs of the 8th arrondissement. Paris by night from the back of a lit limousine, glass in hand, with a chauffeur who handles the traffic and the parking, is a genuinely good way to see the city after dark.

• Weddings between the mairie, the church and the reception
• Airport transfers to CDG, Orly and Le Bourget
• Birthdays and milestone celebrations across the Yvelines and Paris
• Hen and stag parties with a night out in the capital
• Corporate travel to La Défense, meetings and events
• School proms and end-of-year celebrations
• Paris by night and evening tours of the monuments

Corporate travel from a western suburb

Chatou's location makes it a sensible base for business travel. La Défense, France's principal business district, is only a few minutes away by the A14 and the neighbouring towns, so a discreet, comfortable car for a client or a visiting executive is easy to arrange from here. The same applies to events, product launches and evenings out that need everyone to arrive together and on time.

How booking works

Tell us the date, the number of guests, the vehicle you have in mind and the outline of the day. We confirm the route, agree the pick-up point that works for a long car in Chatou, and send you a clear quote covering everything, with no surprises added later. On the day, your chauffeur arrives ahead of time, the champagne is chilled, and you simply enjoy the occasion. Whether you live on the residential streets of the town, are staying near the island, or are passing through the Yvelines for a wedding or a business trip, we bring the car to you and take care of the rest.
