From Paris to Deauville, in Time for the Screening
Chauffeur-driven transport for the Deauville American Film Festival: guests carried from Paris and the airports to the Normandy coast, timed to the screenings and the galas.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
A Deauville American Film Festival chauffeur service is private, chauffeur-driven transport for the festival of American cinema on the Normandy coast each September. It carries talent, guests and press from Paris and the airports at Charles de Gaulle and Deauville-Normandie to Deauville, and between the hotels, the screenings and the galas along the seafront. The festival sits two hours from Paris, so the value is in the journey and the timing: a comfortable transfer that arrives in time for the screening, a chauffeur who knows the coast and the venues, and one contact holding a schedule that runs from the city to the sea and back. The result is a festival reached without the drive becoming the event, and a guest delivered to the carpet unhurried.

Who we serve
For Those Who Bring Guests to the Coast
Deauville is two hours from Paris, a seafront of screenings and galas, and guests who should arrive rested and on time. We carry them from the city and the airports to the coast, and between the hotels, the screenings and the galas, arranged directly or through the people who run the festival presence. We work most closely with four profiles.
Talent & Production Companies
Discreet, comfortable transport for talent and crews: a rested arrival from Paris or the airport, transfers between the hotel, the screenings and the galas, and confidentiality held as a matter of course across the festival.
Press & Media
Transport for journalists and crews between Paris, the coast and the venues, timed to the schedule, so the festival is covered without the drive becoming the day.
Five-Star Hotels & Concierges
A brand-aligned partner for guests staying on the seafront, with cars timed to the screenings, chauffeurs who present as the hotel would wish, and late returns from the galas, so the concierge offers the festival as part of the stay.
Family Offices & Private Guests
Discreet arrangements for a principal at the festival, with confidentiality as a matter of course, NDAs on request, a comfortable transfer from Paris, and quiet coordination with security where needed.
From the departure in Paris to the last gala, every journey around Deauville is below, timed to the screenings and coordinated from one contact. Deauville is one date in a full calendar, and the same team looks after the rest of it. For the drive see our long-distance car service, and for the wider programme our events chauffeur service.
Paris to Deauville
A comfortable transfer from Paris to the Normandy coast, timed to arrive in good order for the screening, with Wi-Fi, water and a calm, private cabin.
Airport Arrivals
Guests met at Charles de Gaulle and Deauville-Normandie, with a chauffeur who waits for a delayed flight, brought to their hotel on the seafront.
Hotel to Screening & Gala
Your car timed to the screening and the gala, taking the cleanest approach to the venue and setting you down at the agreed point.
Discreet Talent Transport
Quiet transfers for talent and guests between the hotel, the screenings and the dinners, with confidentiality held throughout the festival.
Late Returns From the Galas
Return transfers held for the dinners and the galas, however late they run, so the night ends with a waiting car rather than a search.
Chauffeur by the Day
A car and chauffeur at your disposal across the festival, for the screenings, the meetings and the coast, without rebooking each leg.
The DBS Difference
What a Festival on the Coast Asks For

Paris-to-Coast Comfort
A comfortable transfer timed to the screening, so a guest arrives rested and in good order rather than tired from the road.
Deauville Knowledge
Chauffeurs who know the coast, the seafront venues and the festival's arrangements, so a guest arrives close and unhurried.
Screening & Gala Timing
Cars timed to the screenings and the galas, with late returns held, so the festival is worked without a wait between the venues.
Discretion for Talent
Confidentiality as a matter of course, NDAs on request, and quiet coordination with security for sensitive arrivals.

How It Works
From Paris to the Last Gala, in Four Steps
Share Your Schedule
Tell us your dates, your screenings and your numbers. We advise on the vehicles, the Paris transfer and the arrivals at the airports.
We Plan the Festival
We time the transfer to the screening, agree the drop-off at the venues, and brief the chauffeur on the coast and the festival's arrangements.
We Run the Days
A car is with you between the hotel, the screenings and the galas, talent moves discreetly, and one contact holds the schedule, adjusting live.
Across the Festival
One contact holds your days across the festival, so each screening is reached on time and each gala ends with a waiting car.
In practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Works in Real Life
Talent for a Premiere
A production brings talent from Paris for a premiere. We provide a comfortable transfer timed to arrive rested, an S-Class to the screening, and discreet journeys between the hotel and the galas, with late returns and confidentiality throughout.
A Guest From the Airport
A guest flies into Charles de Gaulle for the festival. We meet the arrival, transfer them to Deauville in good order, and keep a car for the screenings and the coast, so a two-hour journey is a rest rather than a chore.
A Group for the Weekend
A hotel arranges a group for a festival weekend. We provide a minibus from Paris and cars on the coast, timed to the screenings and the galas, so the group moves together and reaches each venue without a wait.

À chaque arrivée de nos dirigeants à Paris, le chauffeur est déjà là quand ils passent la douane. Les vols bougent, la prise en charge ne bouge jamais. Cela retire la seule variable que nous ne maîtrisons pas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you arrange transport from Paris to Deauville at short notice during the festival?
Yes. The festival is a busy weekend and we hold capacity for it. With 25-plus vehicles, 30-plus chauffeurs and a 24/7 desk answering within the hour, we arrange a transfer from Paris or a car for the coast at short notice, and add a vehicle for extra guests without unsettling the rest of your schedule.
How long is the transfer from Paris, and what is the car like?
Deauville is about two hours from Paris by road. The transfer is in a Mercedes-Benz kept immaculate, with a calm, private cabin, Wi-Fi and water, and a chauffeur who plans the departure so you arrive in good order for the screening. For arrivals by air, we also meet flights at Charles de Gaulle and Deauville-Normandie.
Is transport for talent and guests kept confidential?
Yes. Names, schedules and journeys are held in confidence, our chauffeurs work to a confidentiality standard as a matter of course, and we sign non-disclosure agreements on request. For talent and public figures we coordinate quietly with your team and security, so arrivals and departures are handled with care.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles for Deauville transport?
Yes. Hybrid and electric options are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus vehicles, where the route allows, so the journey to the coast can be arranged with a lighter footprint while keeping a first-class standard for every guest.
Can you hold the car for the galas, however late they finish?
Yes, and it is part of the service. The festival galas run late, so we do not tie your car to a fixed hour. The chauffeur stays nearby and is at the agreed point as you leave, however late the night runs, so a gala on the coast ends with a waiting car and a comfortable return to the hotel.
