Dedicated vehicle & chauffeur
Back in 1934, the Pic saga began in Valence; today Anne‑Sophie Pic’s three‑Michelin‑starred house sits a mile from Valence‑Ville station, with the Rhône Valley’s grands crus—Hermitage and Crozes‑Hermitage—just 25–35 km away. This is where concentrated jus meet precision pairings, and rare vegetables thrive on alluvial soils. Between a sleek dining room and a storied bistro, the plate is designed with the cellar in mind, not just the stove.
Your dedicated driver collects you at your Valence hotel in a Mercedes, on standby for the evening, and keeps the pace effortless. Direct drop‑off for your reservation at Maison Pic or a curated Rhône‑side table; you taste, they drive. If you wish, add a cellar call at M. Chapoutier or Paul Jaboulet Aîné in Tain—about 20 minutes—then an unhurried ride back along the N7. With a private chauffeur in Valence, distances shrink and discreet doors tend to open when timing is tight and bookings are secured.
