How does the drive from Paris to Barcelona work?

Allow about 11 h of driving for 1,035 km, without traffic or breaks.

The route crosses the Massif Central on the A71 and A75 motorways, then enters Spain at Le Perthus.

The trip exceeds 9 h of driving: we plan an overnight stop or a second chauffeur.

An overnight stop or two chauffeurs: which should I choose?

With an overnight stop, you sleep on the way, in the south of France, and set off again rested the next day.

With two chauffeurs taking turns, you arrive the same day.

Either way, the quote sets out everything before you commit.

Do you have a chauffeur on site in Barcelona?

Yes, through our network of partner chauffeurs in Barcelona.

They handle transfers from El Prat airport or the port, trips around the city and excursions.

You book with Precellence, which remains your single point of contact; the price is on quote.

When should I choose the road rather than the plane?

When your flight is cancelled and the next flights are full: see flight cancelled, strike: we drive you there.

When you travel with a lot of luggage, children or a pet.

Long journeys, in complete peace of mind

On a long journey, your chauffeur stops roughly every two hours, as France's road-safety agency (Sécurité routière) recommends: a few minutes for a coffee, the toilets or a chance to stretch your legs, for you and for your chauffeur. Your chauffeur tells you about the breaks from the start and chooses the moment with you. This is a safety rule we do not compromise on: a rested chauffeur is an attentive chauffeur. Would you rather arrive in one go? Then we recommend two chauffeurs taking turns at the wheel: stops are kept to a minimum, and you arrive at the planned time.
