Chauffeured Stretch Limousine Hire in the Paris 18th

A chauffeur-driven limousine across the whole of the 18th

The 18th arrondissement (postcode 75018) sits at the northern edge of Paris, wrapped around the Butte Montmartre and running down to the ring road at Porte de la Chapelle and Porte de Clignancourt. It is one of the most photographed corners of the city and one of the trickiest to move around by car, which is exactly why a professional chauffeur makes the difference. We run American stretch limousines and a Mercedes V-Class van with a driver, collecting you at your address anywhere in the arrondissement and taking care of everything from the route to the champagne kept cold on board.

Our fleet covers the whole range: the Lincoln Town Car and Chrysler 300C stretch limos for a classic red-carpet arrival, the Lincoln Navigator and Hummer H2 for a bigger group that wants to be seen, and the V-Class when you would rather travel discreetly with luggage and space to spare. Every booking comes with a uniformed chauffeur, and pricing is always given on quote once we know your date, pick-up point and the number of guests.

Where we take you in Montmartre and beyond

Most visitors to the 18th come for Montmartre. The Sacré-Coeur basilica crowns the hill, with Place du Tertre and its painters just behind it, the Espace Dalí, the Musée de Montmartre and the little vineyard on Rue des Saules a short walk away. Down the slope you reach the Wall of Love in Square Jehan-Rictus at Abbesses, whose metro station is the deepest in the network and still has its original Guimard glass canopy. On the southern boundary, the Moulin Rouge and the cabarets of Boulevard de Clichy mark the Pigalle end of the arrondissement.

The 18th is far more than the hill, though. On a Saturday or Sunday morning we take clients up to the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen at Porte de Clignancourt, the largest antiques market in the world, and there is no better way to carry home a find than with a chauffeur waiting outside. The markets of Barbès and the West-African streets of Château Rouge and La Goutte d'Or give the eastern half of the arrondissement a completely different, buzzing character. Wherever your day leads, the driver stays with the car so you never worry about parking or getting back.

The one thing to know about Montmartre streets

Here is the honest local point. A stretch limousine cannot drive up the Butte itself. The lanes around Place du Tertre, Rue Lepic and Rue des Abbesses are narrow, steep, cobbled and partly pedestrian, and the funicular exists precisely because the gradient defeats vehicles. A long car simply will not fit or turn up there. So for anything on the hill we set the pick-up and drop-off at the foot of Montmartre, along Boulevard de Clichy, Boulevard de Rochechouart or near Place Pigalle and Place Blanche, where a stretch limo has room to pull in cleanly. Your chauffeur will agree the exact spot with you in advance so there is no confusion on the day, and the walk or funicular ride up is short. For the flatter streets around Jules Joffrin, Marcadet or the flea market, we come to your door directly.

Getting married at the Mairie du 18e

Civil weddings in the arrondissement take place at the Mairie du 18e, at 1 Place Jules Joffrin, served by line 12 of the metro. It is a popular choice, and the surrounding streets get busy on Saturdays. We handle the wedding car so you don't have to think about it: the limousine collects the couple at home, brings you to the town hall for the ceremony, and then carries the wedding party wherever the celebration continues, whether that is a reception venue in the city or a photo stop below the Sacré-Coeur with all of Paris spread out behind you. Ribbons, champagne and a chauffeur who knows how to time an arrival are all part of it.

Celebrations, nights out and business travel

The 18th knows how to have a good time, and a limousine turns an ordinary evening into the main event. For a birthday, a hen or stag party, or a prom, we can build a Paris-by-night loop that takes in the lit-up Moulin Rouge, sweeps along the boulevards and out to the great landmarks on the far bank, with music and champagne on board throughout. Groups heading to the cabarets and clubs of Pigalle like being dropped at the door and picked up again at the end without hunting for a taxi at two in the morning.

For business, we cover corporate transfers, client roadshows and event pick-ups with the same driver for the whole day. If you are staying in one of the hotels around Montmartre and need reliable, presentable transport for meetings across the city, the V-Class and the Town Car both do the job quietly and on time.

Airport transfers to and from the 18th

The 18th is well placed for both Paris airports. Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle is the closest, reached by the A1 motorway straight up through Porte de la Chapelle, and the run usually takes around thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic. Orly sits to the south and is generally a forty-five to sixty minute drive across or around the city. We track your flight, so an early landing or a delay is our problem, not yours. The chauffeur meets you in the terminal, handles the luggage and takes you door to door, which beats dragging cases onto the metro at Barbès or Château Rouge after a long flight. The same applies in reverse for early departures, with the car at your address in good time.

Booking your limousine in the 18th

Tell us the date, the pick-up address, how many of you there are and roughly what you have in mind, and we will recommend the right vehicle and send a clear quote. Everything is all-inclusive: the car, the fuel, the chauffeur and the champagne. For Montmartre, remember that the meeting point will be at the base of the hill rather than on the summit, and we will confirm exactly where. From a wedding at Place Jules Joffrin to a late night around Pigalle or a smooth transfer out to CDG, we make the 18th easy to travel in style.
