Located near the Gare du Nord, Chabé has recently opened a relaxation area in the heart of Paris.
The mission of this lounge is to transform our clients’ travel experience by offering them a haven of tranquility in the heart of one of Europe’s most dynamic rail hubs.
Nordine Ichou, Lounge Manager, oversees the smooth running of operations and manages a team of 8 employees dedicated to providing exceptional service to our clients.
In this interview, Nordine talks about the service offered at this new lounge.
What are the main services offered by the Chabé lounge?Our lounge offers a full range of bespoke services to ensure a luxury travel experience for our clients. Upon arrival, we offer an “end of platform” service, where our agents wait for our clients and then accompany them from their train to the lounge. Conversely, for departures, our clients can enjoy the lounge while waiting for their train, before being accompanied to the station by one of our agents.
Once at the Chabé lounge, our clients can enjoy a quiet space to work or simply relax while waiting for their connecting train. We also offer luggage assistance services, with the option of using a cart to transport suitcases, as well as services for People with Reduced Mobility (PRM).
In short, we take care of everything. The lounge is often used as a waiting room for Eurostar passengers, offering all the amenities they need to start or finish their journey.
The Group has designed this lounge to meet a strategic need, placing the comfort of our clients at the heart of our approach. Accustomed to luxury service, our passengers deserve a smooth, pleasant travel experience. It was therefore unthinkable for them to have a complicated or stressful experience in the station.
We couldn’t remain passive in the face of this situation. So the Group took the initiative to change things.
The Chabé lounge was designed to improve the way we welcome our clients, while optimizing working conditions for our chauffeurs. By providing a dedicated space, we have not only made it easier to welcome clients, but also reduced parking problems around the station, enabling our chauffeurs to work in better conditions. This guarantees a smooth and serene service, contributing to a high-quality client experience.
Our lounge is designed to offer maximum convenience to our clients, whatever the length of their stay. We’ve created a space where everyone can relax or work.
For everyone’s comfort, the lounge is equipped with a TV with news channels, WIFI, a meeting room that can be privatized for business meetings, a selection of hot and cold drinks, and changing rooms where our clients can change.
Our team is also trained to offer concierge services such as booking a private chauffeur for a city outing or organizing a specific service as required. Our mission is to put ourselves entirely at the service of our clients, to offer them an unforgettable experience.
Traveling with complete peace of mind, being taken care of by a century-old family business specializing in luxury mobility, is an essential asset for our clients. The personalized support provided by our coordinators plays a key role in this experience.
We take particular care in recruiting and training our teams to offer a luxury service. Our team of nine coordinators is entirely dedicated to the management of this new space, guaranteeing smooth, efficient service. They are on hand from 6 a.m. to midnight, 7 days a week, to welcome, guide and ensure that every visit to the station is as pleasant as possible.
Personalized follow-up of our clients is set up before their arrivals, with an eye on train departure and arrival times, so that we can adapt our services and be proactive. This bespoke service ensures total flexibility, enhancing our travellers’ peace of mind.
For some clients, particularly 5-star hotels and palaces, we need to be perceived as an extension of the establishment. To achieve this, we personalize the welcome, even down to the detail of the umbrella, for example, bearing the colors of each hotel. This strengthens the relationship of trust and enhances the experience of our clients, ensuring continuity of service from the station to their destination.
We regularly receive feedback from our clients who use the lounge, delighted by the quality and efficiency of our services.
One striking anecdote is that of a Director of a Parisian Palace, who needed to change before catching his train. Our lounge enabled him to get ready in complete tranquillity, just before his departure, perfectly illustrating the usefulness of our space.
During this summer’s major sporting event, we had the opportunity to welcome numerous athletes and teams, including the Chinese delegation, the Argentine basketball team, and the Los Angeles Organizing Committee.
Finally, we also had the opportunity to “save” a VIC’s trip: his cat, who didn’t have a passport, couldn’t accompany him. We therefore kept the animal in our lounge until the client could return the next day to collect it, an anecdote that clearly demonstrates our commitment to offering a bespoke service.
We’re delighted to see that, despite its recent opening (only five months ago), the Chabé lounge has quickly proved its efficiency and ability to meet clients’ expectations.
Today, our team is dedicated to operating in all Paris stations, which reinforces the relationship of trust we have with our clients. In just a few months, the Chabé lounge has become a benchmark for personalized, bespoke service.
Since its creation, Chabé has established itself as an expert in bespoke mobility, offering exceptional services in over 100 countries worldwide.
Our fleet of nearly 400 vehicles is one of the largest and most up-to-date in Europe. It is carefully selected to meet the varied needs of our customers.
From France to the United Arab Emirates, via Italy, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Monaco, Chabé continues to renew itself to offer luxury mobility in line with the needs of our clients and today’s environmental challenges.
Chabé has always known how to anticipate trends and meet the needs of its clients.
From its very beginnings, the family business has distinguished itself through bold choices: from the Renault exterior drive to iconic models such as the Renault Reinahuit in the 1930s, followed by the Cadillac Fleetwood in the 1950s and the Cadillac Limousine in the 1960s, marking a new era of prestige and comfort.
From its beginnings in Paris, the family business quickly expanded to several French cities, and today the Group’s activities extend far beyond the borders of France.
Chabé is not limited to a local presence, but extends to six countries: France, United Kingdom, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Italy.
Our offices, located in strategic cities such as Biarritz, Bordeaux, Cannes, Megève, Courchevel, Lyon, Paris, Saint-Tropez, Toulouse, Monaco, London, Geneva, Zurich, Milan, Rome and Dubai, enable us not only to respond quickly and efficiently to our clients’ requests, but also to guarantee a uniform and irreproachable quality of service.
A fleet spread across these different offices is therefore essential to meet the varied needs of our international clientele, while offering continuity of service and a luxury mobility experience, whatever the destination.
Last but not least, our presence in over 100 countries around the world is made possible by our trusted partners, carefully selected by the Group for the quality of their fleet and the excellence of their chauffeurs.
Chabé offers a complete range of vehicles to meet every demand and ensure mobility adapted to your needs. Renewed every two years, the Group’s fleet guarantees the highest quality of service and unrivalled comfort for our passengers.
Our fleet includes prestige vehicles, ideal for important events or high-class journeys. You’ll find the Rolls Royce Cullinan in Paris, the Maybach S680 by Virgil Abloh in Dubai and Mercedes Maybachs.
For unrivalled comfort and discretion on your daily commute, Chabé offers Sedans including the latest Mercedes E-Class hybrid, the BMW i7 and the Mercedes S-Class hybrid.
More spacious and robust, SUVs are ideal for more complex routes or trips requiring more space. Chabé offers the Maybach GLS 600 and the Range Rover Autobiography and Autobiography P440E, both hybrids.
For group or family mobility, our minivans, with the Mercedes V-Class and EQV-Class, guarantee comfort and flexibility.
The Group also offers a bespoke motorcycle transport service. The Honda Goldwing makes your journeys smooth and comfortable.
Finally, for specific security needs, we offer armored vehicles such as the Audi A8 and Renault Espace VR6, which comply with the strictest ballistic protection standards.
As part of our commitment to greener mobility, we offer a wide selection of electric and hybrid vehicles.
The evolution of Chabé’s fleet is not just a question of prestige, it’s also a strong commitment to sustainability.
Aware of environmental challenges, Chabé has begun a rapid transition to greener mobility. Today, low-carbon vehicles (electric, hybrid and hydrogen-powered) account for almost 60% of the Group’s total fleet, rising to 50% by 2023.
Recent acquisitions include flagship models such as the :
True to its pioneering spirit, Chabé continues to innovate in order to offer exceptional mobility that meets the expectations of its clients, while resolutely contributing to a more sustainable future.
As we approach 2025, the luxury travel landscape is evolving with a strong emphasis on wellness, multigenerational travel, and emotionally enriching experiences. According to recent insights from Virtuoso Travel and Globetrender, travelers increasingly seek bespoke journeys that prioritize comfort and serenity.
At Chabé, we meet these expectations through our bespoke mobility solutions, ensuring every journey is a seamless experience in our premium vehicles. With over 100 years of expertise, we offer VIP Meet & Greet services at airports and train stations, providing assistance with tax refund formalities and check-in. Our knowledgeable private chauffeurs navigate the city expertly, ensuring you avoid traffic while enjoying your ride.
Furthermore, our commitment to eco-friendly transportation with low-carbon vehicles enhances your travel experience, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable practices in luxury travel.
Here’s a look at some emerging trends for 2025 and how Chabé is perfectly positioned to accommodate them:

The summer of 2024 will be remembered not only as a moment of global sporting celebration, but also as an extraordinary logistical challenge. This historic event, which captured the world’s attention, also represented a major milestone for Chabé. As a key service provider, the Group played an essential role in transporting thousands of people with remarkable precision and efficiency.
This success is the result of 6 months of intensive preparation. Nearly 2,000 interviews were conducted by a dedicated team of 7 people to select and train chauffeurs capable of meeting the specific needs of this event. Over a period of several days, the 550 chauffeurs recruited benefited from bespoke training provided by our teams, to guarantee an impeccable quality of service.
At the same time, the events team scouted out the various locations to define the best routes between passenger departures and arrivals. Launch meetings were also organised with the various stakeholders.
To meet our clients’ requirements, a team of experts ensured 24/7 availability to deal with requests and unforeseen events in real time, with an optimised response time of 90 minutes.
In this exceptional context, Chabé mobilised considerable resources to ensure the transport of thousands of people across France, in 9 cities (Bordeaux, Châteauroux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, Saint-Étienne), including Paris.
These services were made possible by the mobilisation of 550 professional chauffeurs, supported by a team of over 300 employees from various departments. The scale of this project illustrates Chabé’s ability to orchestrate bespoke transport solutions that meet the most exacting requirements, while pursuing our day-to-day commitments with the same rigour.
In addition to its operational expertise, Chabé reaffirmed its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The Group stood out for its strong commitment to inclusion, in particular by recruiting people who are far from employment.
Around 20% of the drivers mobilised for this event were people in rehabilitation, a choice that reflects the company’s values in terms of diversity and inclusion.
Chabé’s commitment to people with reduced mobility was also demonstrated by the adaptation of its fleet. Of the 900 vehicles mobilised for the event, a number were specially designed to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility, ensuring maximum accessibility.
In addition, with a view to reducing the ecological footprint, measures have been taken to optimise journeys and select less polluting vehicles, in line with national environmental objectives.
This event marked a crucial milestone for the family business, demonstrating once again its ability to manage very large-scale operations while maintaining an irreproachable level of service.
For Chabé, this mission represents a high point in its long history, confirming its position as an expert in the bespoke mobility sector and opening up new prospects for the future.
Chabé, an expert in event transport organization, once again demonstrated its expertise by providing services for a prestigious private event in Seville. For more than four days, the Toulouse agency handled the transport of top executives with a fleet of Mercedes V-Class vehicles, ensuring an experience of comfort, safety, and complete confidentiality.
With a team of experienced private drivers and dedicated coordinators, the agency meticulously organized every airport transfer with a driver and local trip, showcasing its ability to manage large-scale events, both in France and internationally.
Already well-established in the South-West of France, Chabé Toulouse continues to expand its expertise beyond borders, offering VTC services in Toulouse and event transport for prestigious clients in Spain. Whether it’s for a chauffeured tour of Toulouse, a transfer within the region, or event transport organization, the agency tailors its expertise to meet the most demanding needs.
In addition, the agency’s services go beyond cars with chauffeurs. Its ability to organize coach transport in Toulouse for events of all sizes, and to coordinate VTC transfers to airports or for private visits, further strengthens its position as a regional leader.
With Chabé Toulouse, clients can rely on bespoke mobility solutions for their most sensitive and prestigious trips, whether in Toulouse, the South-West, or even in Spain. The agency offers premium transport services, combining discretion, efficiency, and dedication in every mission.
On 4 and 5 October 2024, the town of Villers-Cotterêts and the Grand Palais hosted a historic event: the Francophonie Summit, organised in France for the first time in 33 years. This major international event brought together heads of state and government and influential figures from the French-speaking world to celebrate the richness of the French language and culture.
Chabé had the honour of contributing to this event by providing transport for more than 110 VIPs, including 35 heads of state and government. A fleet of 110 top-of-the-range vehicles was mobilised to ensure smooth, comfortable travel between the various summit sites.
Thanks to meticulous organisation and a tailor-made service, Chabé played a key role in the logistical success of this event, while meeting the security and discretion requirements inherent in this type of diplomatic gathering.
We would like to pay tribute to the professionalism and dedication of the 110 drivers mobilised for the occasion. Their expertise and commitment reflected the values of excellence and service that have characterised Chabé for over a century.
This summit highlights our ability to accompany major international events, while celebrating the French-speaking world and its influence throughout the world.
Thank you to our teams and partners for their contribution to this historic moment!
Every year, Paris Fashion Week transforms the capital into a theater of Haute Couture shows, attracting thousands of visitors.
Since 2010, Chabé has been orchestrating the movements of these prestigious guests behind the scenes, ensuring bespoke mobility.
Once again this year, Chabé has risen to the challenge, particularly during the most eagerly awaited shows of the season.
Chabé’s commitment to prestige and discretion enables us to offer a bespoke transport service, fully in line with the prestigious image of its clients.
For this edition of Mode Féminine Spring/Summer 2025, our teams got off to a flying start, with over 300 transfers made available from the very first show, rigorously meeting the requirements of the luxury Houses and their guests.
With an average of more than 100 chauffeurs mobilized for each fashion show, and a fleet of mainly luxury vehicles such as the Mercedes S-Class and V-Class, the Group was on hand to ensure the smooth running of Paris Fashion Week.
In addition to managing the logistics of this international event, Chabé is committed to offering an unrivalled experience, where comfort and discretion are at the heart of the service.
The family-run company stands out for its bespoke service, designed to meet the specific expectations of luxury House. Chabé is present at every stage of Fashion Week, from runway shows to gala dinners.
Whether at the Rodin Museum, the Grand Palais, the Louvre Pyramid or the Opéra Garnier, the Group is on hand to take care of all guest movements. Each guest or VIP, whether from America, Asia, Australia or Europe, received personalized care, guaranteeing smooth, punctual transport.
By combining expertise, discretion and bespoke service, Chabé was able to meet the expectations of the luxury Houses and their guests throughout Paris Fashion Week.
Thanks to its fleet of luxury vehicles and experienced chauffeurs, the Group has established itself as a preferred partner for future event transportation in Paris and beyond.
As part of the fourth European Week for Sustainable Development (EWSD), we are highlighting one of the key aspects of our environmental commitment: eco-driving.
Over several generations, Chabé has developed unrivalled expertise in the private chauffeur services sector. As Europe’s leading employer of chauffeurs, with over 350 year-round employees, we are fully aware of our role in combating climate change and reducing our carbon footprint.
At Chabé, our chauffeur training goes far beyond technical skills and client service. We have set up an eco-driving training program designed to promote more responsible, environmentally-friendly driving.
Eco-driving is a set of practices designed to reduce fuel consumption and, consequently, CO2 emissions. This approach fits in perfectly with our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, making an active contribution to protecting the environment while ensuring the comfort and safety of our clients.
Thanks to eco-driving training, every chauffeur trained significantly reduces CO2 emissions. On average, this represents a reduction of 236 kg of CO2 per person trained each year. This reduction contributes directly to our overall objective of reducing our carbon footprint.
Eco-driving is not just about reducing emissions. It also includes driving techniques aimed at making the driving experience more serene, thus reducing stress for our chauffeurs. Smooth, soothing driving not only ensures safe journeys, but also enhances passenger comfort.
Eco-driving focuses on anticipatory and safe driving, which reduces the risk of accidents while promoting better management of fuel consumption.
Chabé’s eco-driving training is a concrete illustration of our commitment to sustainable development. By reducing CO2 emissions and promoting more responsible driving, we are actively contributing to the fight against climate change.
During this fourth SEDD week, we are reaffirming our determination to continue developing initiatives that have a positive impact on the environment, while offering our clients a quality transport service that respects the planet.

In the heart of the Château de Vincennes, on Sunday October 6, 2024, Chabé employees gathered to take part in the Odysséa run, a solidarity sports event supporting the fight against breast cancer.
Combining physical effort and charitable action, the 5 and 10 kilometer courses were an opportunity to highlight team spirit and solidarity.
Odysséa is a charity race created in 2002, which organizes sporting events throughout France every year.
The aim? To raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.
Since its inception, Odysséa has raised several million euros, which are donated to research institutes to fund programs to combat this disease.
Every year in Paris, the Odysséa race brings together thousands of participants, dressed in pink, to run or walk in support of women with breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, and it seemed essential to us to support this cause.
As in 2023, taking part in the Odysséa 2024 run is a concrete way of taking action, while cultivating team spirit within Chabé.
Once again this year, we were on hand to take up this sporting and charitable challenge.
This day is an opportunity to strengthen links between employees, in a friendly and positive atmosphere. This kind of initiative reminds us that, collectively, we have the power to change things.
On the occasion of this third European Week for Sustainable Development (EWSSD), we would like to highlight our ongoing commitment to more environmentally-friendly mobility.
For several years now, Chabé has been pursuing an ambitious Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy aimed at reducing its CO2 emissions and promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of its activities.
The transition of the Chabé fleet to greener mobility has become essential to reduce our carbon footprint, while meeting our clients’ growing demand for sustainable mobility solutions.
Today, this ambition is a reality: 60% of our fleet is now made up of low-carbon vehicles, compared with just 27% in 2020. This significant evolution has been made possible by our ongoing investment in high-performance hybrid and electric vehicles.
Recent additions to our fleet include iconic vehicles such as the Range Rover P440e, the BMW i7, as well as the Mercedes EQV, EQE, and the new Mercedes E-Class. These vehicles combine elegance, comfort and performance, while offering greener transportation solutions.
Continuing our commitment to low-carbon mobility, we are pleased to announce the addition of the Bentley Bentayga hybrid to our fleet.
This exceptional vehicle embodies the marriage of ecological performance and luxury, and is equipped with a 462 hp V6 hybrid engine. This engine offers exceptional power, surpassing the 340 hp of a conventional combustion engine, while considerably reducing CO2 emissions.
The Bentayga Hybrid represents our commitment to offering a premium mobility experience that respects environmental standards.
This transition to a greener fleet has not gone unnoticed. Chabé was recently awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal, a distinction that underlines our excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility. With an overall score of 70 out of 100, we rank in the top 7% of companies assessed by EcoVadis, and even in the top 2% of the ground passenger transport sector.
Guillaume Connan, Chairman of the Group, comments: “It’s a source of great pride for us to confirm our silver medal, which testifies to our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This distinction is of particular importance, especially at a time when the 4 EcoVadis evaluation criteria have become more demanding than in the past. Our progress since 2020 illustrates our voluntary and committed approach to CSR. We will continue to work to improve our CSR results.”
This recognition testifies to our concrete commitment and determination to go beyond standards to promote luxury and sustainable mobility.
At Chabé, we believe that every small step counts in the fight against climate change.
That’s why we will continue to invest in innovative, sustainable mobility solutions to meet our clients’ expectations and protect our planet.
In this, our third SEDD, we reaffirm our commitment to reconciling prestige and environmental responsibility. We are proud to be able to offer our clients transport options that combine comfort, luxury and respect for the environment.
Because at Chabé, sustainability isn’t just a trend, it’s a promise.
We are incredibly proud that our Italian agency, Palazzi Agency by Chabé, took part in the 2024 edition of the prestigious Venice International Film Festival, a landmark event in the world of cinema. This year, our presence at the festival was amplified by the historical expertise of Palazzi Agency, combined with our know-how in transportation and security services.
During the festival, we provided a wide range of bespoke services, showcasing our ability to meet the diverse needs of this internationally renowned event. In numbers, here’s what we achieved during the festival:
The planning for this venture began in February, a full 8 months before the festival, with careful work to anticipate all the necessary resources.
Our dedicated team was essential to the success of this operation. In addition to the chauffeurs, greeters, security agents, etc., a team of nearly 30 people, including project managers, dispatchers, sales representatives, and water taxi coordinators, ensured comprehensive coverage throughout the festival.
This edition not only marks a successful participation but also a new chapter for Palazzi Agency by Chabé. We look forward to continuing this journey and bringing our expertise to other prestigious events worldwide.
A big thank you to our clients, partners, and the team for their dedication and professionalism, which made this experience a true success!

In this second European Sustainable Development Week (ESDW), let’s look back at an important achievement for Chabé: our confirmation of the EcoVadis silver medal. This award, which recognizes our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices, fits perfectly with our celebration of sustainability.
The EcoVadis Silver Medal is awarded to companies that stand out for their CSR performance. With a score of 70 points out of 100, Chabé is proud to be among the top 15% of companies this year, and to rank in the top 2% in the “other passenger land transport” sector.
Since 2020, our participation in the EcoVadis assessment has enabled us not only to demonstrate our successes, but also to set ourselves targets for continued progress. This silver medal testifies to our ability to meet increasingly demanding environmental, social and human rights, ethical and responsible purchasing criteria. It is recognition of our voluntary and committed approach to greater sustainability.
Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, comments: “Confirming our silver medal is a source of great pride, which testifies to our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This distinction is of particular importance, especially at a time when the 4 EcoVadis evaluation criteria have become more demanding than in the past. Our progress since 2020 illustrates our voluntary and committed approach to CSR. We will continue to work to improve our CSR results.”

European Sustainable Development Week (ESDW) is a key initiative to promote the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across Europe.
This week, Chabé is delighted to reinforce its commitments by joining the United Nations Global Compact, a decisive step in our journey towards a more responsible and sustainable company.
Launched in 2000, the United Nations Global Compact provides a global platform for companies, organizations and governments to promote responsible business practices. By joining this initiative, Chabé is committed to aligning its operations with ten universal principles relating to human rights, labor law, the environment and anti-corruption.
With over 20,000 companies and 4,000 non-profit organizations in more than 160 countries, the Global Compact is the world’s largest initiative dedicated to sustainable business development. It also highlights the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), calling on members to take concrete bespoke action to achieve these crucial goals for the future of our planet.
By joining the Global Compact, Chabé affirms its commitment to a rigorous CSR strategy, focused on concrete actions in favor of the environment. This commitment translates into more sustainable operational practices, reducing our ecological footprint, and promoting innovation to minimize our environmental impact. The Global Compact provides a framework for integrating these objectives into the heart of our business, aligning our strategy with recognized international standards.
The Global Compact network in France, with over 2,000 companies and 100 organizations, is a dynamic community dedicated to promoting best practices in sustainable development. For Chabé, joining this network means actively participating in local and international initiatives aimed at protecting our environment while contributing to responsible economic growth.
During European Sustainable Development Week, we are reaffirming our determination to make a positive contribution to the planet, and to inspire others to do the same. Our CSR strategy, supported by our participation in the Global Compact, guides our efforts to minimize our environmental impact while promoting sustainable and responsible mobility.
We invite you to discover how Chabé, through its commitments and initiatives, actively participates in building a more sustainable future. Together, let’s make a difference for our planet.
At Chabé, our ambition is to contribute to a sustainable future. With this in mind, in 2021 we have initiated a strategic partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation, an organization recognized as being in the public interest. This partnership represents a key pillar of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy in the fight against climate change.
For the 2023 business year, we have once again offset our CO2 emissions in sustainable development programs via the GoodPlanet Foundation, to the tune of €50,000.
Since the beginning of our collaboration with the GoodPlanet Foundation, we have worked hand in hand to support projects with a significant and lasting environmental impact. In 2023, this commitment translated into a contribution of 2,087 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, as evidenced by our latest certificate of contribution to carbon neutrality.
This contribution demonstrates our desire to take concrete action for the planet, while supporting initiatives that directly improve the lives of local communities.
Thanks to our partnership with GoodPlanet, the Group has been able to invest €50,000 in initiatives that not only mitigate climate change, but also generate tangible benefits for local populations. Here are just a few examples of the projects we have supported:
This project aims to improve household waste management through sorting and composting, thereby reducing its environmental impact. In addition, compost production helps to promote sustainable local agriculture while creating employment opportunities for disadvantaged populations.
The installation of solar cookers helps limit deforestation by offering a clean, sustainable energy alternative to local populations.
This project has enabled the construction of biodigesters, providing clean energy to rural families and reducing GHG emissions.
Our partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation illustrates our commitment to a more sustainable future. By joining these projects, we play an active part in reducing carbon emissions while promoting the economic and social development of the regions concerned.
At Chabé, we are convinced that every gesture counts in the fight against climate change. That’s why we will continue our commitment to concrete, innovative solutions that have a positive impact on the environment and on the communities we serve.

As France celebrates its bank holidays, it’s important to celebrate what makes our country proud: French expertise.
Chabé, with its luxury transport services, embodies this tradition of excellence. Today, this expertise is increasingly in demand around the world, propelling the Group onto the international stage.
Since it was founded in 1921, Chabé has embodied the excellence of French expertise in the luxury mobility sector.
Founded by Maurice Chabé on his return from the Great War, the family business began serving the clientele of the Parisian Palaces during the Roaring Twenties.
Over several generations, the Group has developed unrivalled expertise in this industry. The founder’s daughter, Eliane Lo Jacomo, took over the management of the company in 1959, continuing the family legacy. In 1989, Agnès Lo Jacomo, the founder’s granddaughter, took over the reins, continuing the family tradition. Finally, in 2014, the fourth generation marked the history of Chabé with the arrival of Guillaume Connan, who became Chairman of the Group.
Alongside his mother, he brings innovation and modernity while preserving the traditional values for which Chabé is renowned. Today, Chabé is proud to celebrate this enduring family history, the symbol of an unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
An expert in bespoke mobility since 1921, Chabé meets the growing demand for luxury, made-to-measure travel services.
In fact, customisation and attention to detail are what make our expertise the best match for your requirements. Our professional chauffeurs don’t just transport clients, they create unique experiences that reflect the art of French service.
Our service goes far beyond simple transport. Fabien Brignon, a Chabé chauffeur since January 2023, tells us: « A few weeks ago, some clients shared with me their passion for France and Cédric Grolet’s famous pastries. After dropping them off at the Louvres museum, I went straight to one of these pastry shops to surprise them. Exceeding the client’s expectations is one of the things you learn when you work at Chabé ».
This culture of excellence and attention to detail has contributed to Chabé’s rapid growth.
In just a few years, Chabé has multiplied its international acquisitions, opening offices in strategic cities such as London, Dubai, Megève, Zurich, Rome and Milan.
This expansion testifies to the recognition of our French expertise, respected in particular by leading luxury brands.

As we celebrate the French bank holidays, Chabé reminds us that French expertise is a guarantee of quality and trust.
Thanks to sustained growth and ever-increasing international demand, the Group is much more than just a transport company. It is an ambassador for French expertise around the world, proving that excellence is a universal value.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) addresses the social, societal, environmental and economic impacts of our business. Today, CSR has become a pillar of Chabé’s strategy, and we are committed to being a responsible player in our industry.
Because a company cannot simply grow without taking into account the consequences of its actions on society, it must reinvent itself. That’s why Chabé is proud to join the UN Global Compact.
What is the United Nations Global Compact?
Launched in 2000, the United Nations Global Compact is a call to companies around the world to align their operations and strategies with Ten Universal Principles.
Today, the Global Compact brings together more than 20,000 companies and 4,000 non-profit organisations based in over 160 countries around sustainable development issues.
It is the largest corporate sustainable development initiative in the world.
What is Chabé’s commitment?
The Global Compact France Network brings together more than 2,000 companies and 100 organisations around CSR and sustainable development issues. It offers its members a commitment based on ten principles to be respected in the areas of human rights, labour law, the environment and the fight against corruption.
The UN Global Compact is also a call to take bespoke action to support the goals and issues of the United Nations through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Joining the UN Global Compact embodies Chabé’s commitment to fundamental responsibilities for people and the planet.
A source of pride for the family business
Today, Chabé is pleased to announce that we have joined the United Nations Global Compact initiative.

5 June marks an important date for our planet: World Environment Day. This year, the Group has decided to celebrate this day by issuing a challenge to Flora Chaise, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Manager.
The aim? To share our commitment to a more sustainable future in just 30 seconds.
A fleet with a low carbon footprint
One of the pillars of our CSR strategy is to develop a fleet with a low carbon footprint. In the space of a few years, our fleet has gone from 13% to 70% low-carbon vehicles. We are investing in electric and hybrid vehicles, significantly reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. This transition to greener mobility is essential if we are to achieve our carbon neutrality objectives
Raising employee awareness
We firmly believe that change starts from within. That’s why we have set up awareness-raising programmes for our employees. Workshops, training courses and internal communication campaigns are all initiatives aimed at instilling a green culture within our company. We encourage everyone to adopt more responsible practices, both in their professional and personal lives.
Towards a more sustainable future
World Environment Day is a reminder that every gesture counts. Thanks to the commitment of Flora Chaise and the whole team, we are moving towards a future that is more respectful of our planet. Together, we can make a difference and build a world where sustainability is at the heart of every decision.

Tourism on the Basque coast
The South-West region has so much to offer, so why not treat yourself to a tour along the coast or inland for an unforgettable holiday. From France with Biarritz, Anglet and Bayonne, to Spain with Navarre, Pamplona and Bilbao, visit the riches of the region from the comfort of the back of a vehicle.
For several years now, Chabé has been implementing a CSR strategy aimed at reducing its CO2 emissions.
The transition of the Chabé fleet to greener mobility was essential to both reduce our carbon emissions and meet the growing demand from our clients.
Today, 60% of the Group’s fleet consists of low-carbon vehicles, rising to 27% by 2020.
This development has been made possible by the acquisition of hybrid and electric vehicles, notably the Range Rover P440e, the BMW i7 and the Mercedes EQV, EQE and, more recently, the Mercedes E-Class.
In recognition of this development, Chabé was recently awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal for excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). With an overall score of 70 out of 100, Chabé ranks in the top 7% of companies assessed, and even in the top 2% in the passenger land transport sector.
At Chabé, this development not only represents progress, but also a commitment to luxury mobility that is more respectful of the environment.
This desire to reconcile prestige and environmental responsibility is at the heart of our strategy.

A visionary with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Maurice Chabé returned from the Great War and decided to serve the clientele of the Parisian luxury hotels during the Roaring Twenties. He bought his first car and started driving it himself in 1921. Little by little, the « Établissements Maurice Chabé » grew…
From an early age, Eliane Lo Jacomo was involved in the management of the company and took over the reins in 1959, on the death of her father, Maurice Chabé. In 1989, it was the turn of Agnès Lo Jacomo, granddaughter of the founder, to run the family business. Her initial ambitions were to diversify the customer base and develop event transport. She succeeded, managing the 1998 Football World Cup in France with over 500 vehicles, marking the start of large-scale events.
Finally, in 2014, the fourth generation marked the history of Chabé with the arrival of Guillaume Connan as Managing Director of Chabé. In 2020, he became President of the Group, bringing innovation and modernity alongside his mother.
More than 100 years after its creation, Chabé continues to be run by the founder’s family with the same ambition: to support its clients in all their mobility needs, all over the world.
At Chabé, the excellence of our teams remains the cornerstone of our expertise, past and present. The digital solutions we develop are designed to enhance our capabilities, not replace them. Our commitment to the French art of service, which we are proud to promote, remains unwavering.
At Chabé, our expertise comes into its own when it comes to the many different types of travel involved. Whether it’s for international summits, sporting competitions or media events, our coordination expertise is second to none.
We form dedicated teams, prepared for each event. Transporting hundreds of guests with ease and fluidity is our greatest source of pride. Every detail is taken into account to provide an impeccable travel experience.
The expertise of Chabé’s chauffeurs is intrinsically linked to their people skills. As dedicated chauffeurs, they strive to ensure an exceptional experience on every journey.
As experienced chauffeurs with a mastery of luxury, our chauffeurs are highly adaptable towards our clients. They are multilingual, mastering French and English, and often a third language. Some have acquired specific expertise, whether as guides or roadshow specialists.
All our chauffeurs are trained in eco-driving and safe and protective driving techniques. This training includes specific driving methods and encourages the development of appropriate reflexes to ensure passenger safety and comfort.
But this dedication to excellence also extends to our fleet.
Chabé has a fleet of nearly 350 luxury vehicles, making it one of the largest in Europe. Our vehicles are carefully selected from the latest models from the major car manufacturers and are regularly renewed every two years.
Whatever your needs, whether you’re looking for internal combustion, hybrid or electric saloons, SUVs, vans, prestige vehicles, minibuses or even armoured vehicles, we have the model to suit your expectations and requirements.
Because we care about the environment, we are committed to gradually renewing our fleet with a view to limiting its ecological impact. Our aim is to offer a majority of electric vehicles within the next two years, in order to make an active contribution to preserving our planet while offering our clients luxury and responsible transport solutions.
At Chabé, we see technology as an essential lever for providing a superior service to our clients. Our digital solutions, whether adopted or developed in-house, enable us to continually personalise our services, whatever the location or circumstances, whether for an individual journey or for the management of entire fleets.
Our hotel concierge application, for example, is a perfect example of this commitment to a seamless, simplified experience for our clients. This intelligent use of technology helps to optimise every stage of the process, from booking to arrival at the destination.
Wherever you are in the world, if you are looking for an excellent chauffeur service, contact Chabé.
At Chabé, we like a challenge. We love unusual projects and contexts. Over the years, we’ve learned to do things we’ve never done before. Our next challenge? Transporting thousands of passengers, sports fans, sponsors, VIPs, celebrities, dignitaries… during this sporting event taking place this summer. Not even afraid.
Since the Football World Cup in 1998, Chabé has established itself as a trusted partner for major sporting events. The events team is now preparing to provide a luxury transport service, not only throughout France, but also in the other host cities of the next event: Paris, Versailles, Lille, Châteauroux, Marseille, Nantes, Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Nice and Tahiti.
As Europe’s leading employer of chauffeurs, Chabé is anticipating the excitement of the coming months and preparing for the peak in activity, while guaranteeing a quality of service that meets the expectations of its clients.
Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, explains: « For several months now, Chabé has been preparing for this unprecedented event. We have anticipated a significant need for chauffeurs and are preparing to mobilise nearly 1,000 professionals. We have also put in place a specific training programme aimed at integrating people who are far from employment into this adventure, offering them specialised training and a first experience in the field« .
To meet this challenge, we have strengthened our teams with the creation of a dedicated HR team, comprising 8 recruitment officers, who have been mobilised since January 2024.
At Chabé, we believe in the importance of supporting initiatives that promote inclusion and employment for all. That’s why we’re delighted to announce that our employees have collectively chosen to support the Fondation Agir Contre l’Exclusion, FACE.
Since 1993, FACE has been working tirelessly to help people who are far from the labour market to find their place in society.
That’s why, following a vote by our employees, Chabé has decided to support this association and the Via l’Emploi project, which aims specifically to provide support for senior citizens recognised as disabled workers.
This programme offers tailored socio-professional support, with individual monitoring and group workshops. It also raises companies’ awareness of good practice and encourages job retention. The Group is proud to play a role in organising meetings between jobseekers and companies.
But our commitment doesn’t stop there. Throughout the year, we work closely with the FACE Foundation to diversify our recruitment by proposing our job offers to their beneficiaries.
At Chabé, we firmly believe that inclusion is the key to a prosperous and equitable society. We are determined to continue working towards employment for all, because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to succeed.
Over several generations, the Group has developed unrivalled expertise in the private chauffeur-driven mobility sector.

With an overall score of 70 points out of 100, the Group was among the top 7% of companies assessed and the top 2% in the « other passenger land transport » sector.
In previous years, EcoVadis awarded the silver medal to the top 25% of eligible companies. In 2024, the Silver Medal will be awarded to only 15% of the most committed companies, including Chabé.
Guillaume Connan, Chairman of the Group, says: « Confirming our silver medal is a source of pride, which testifies to our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This distinction is of particular importance, especially at a time when the 4 EcoVadis assessment criteria have become more demanding than in the past. Our progress since 2020 illustrates our voluntary and committed approach to CSR. We will continue to work to improve our CSR results.”
EcoVadis is a global platform for rating the CSR performance of companies of all sizes and in all sectors. Using internationally recognised criteria, EcoVadis assesses companies in 4 areas: the environment, social and human rights, ethics and responsible purchasing.
Taking part in this assessment since 2020 enables us to identify our strengths and areas for improvement. This approach gives the Group the opportunity to move forward each year and adopt innovative solutions, encouraging the family business to continually surpass itself.
On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, Chabé, expert in bespoke mobility since 1921, is highlighting the place occupied by women within the Group, while underlining its commitment to professional equality.
Since its foundation over 100 years ago by Maurice Chabé, the family business has been marked by female governance, first embodied by Eliane Lo Jacomo in 1959, followed by her daughter, Agnès Lo Jacomo in 1989, currently Chairman of the Group’s Strategic Committee.
In an interview, Frédérike Dupont-Pauchet, Human Resources Director, emphasized: « At Chabé, gender is not really an issue. When recruiting new staff, we give priority to candidates with expertise and a strong customer service culture, without worrying about whether they are male or female. This rule applies more to positions of responsibility. »
Of the 15 members of the Management Committee, 6 are women. That’s why, on the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, some of them share their thoughts and advice on professional emancipation, and talk about the importance of this day for them.
Agnès Lo Jacomo, President of Strategic Committee: » International Women’s Rights Day has long held a very special significance for Chabé, and for me personally: as far as I know, it is the only transport company – an almost exclusively male environment in the 20th century – to have been chaired for 60 years by women, from 1959 to 1993 by my mother, and from 1993 to 2019 by myself.
For us, it has always been obvious that women could exercise the same responsibilities as men.
Today, as President of Chabé’s Strategic Committee, I am delighted to see the progress that has been made in terms of gender equality, while recognising the challenges that still exist.
I am still very proud to work for Chabé, a company that has been family-owned from the outset and that values diversity and inclusion. »
Frédérike Dupont-Pauchet, Group Human Resources Director: « As HR Director, I’m proud to promote an environment at Chabé where women are recognized for their skills and achievements, rather than being judged according to gender stereotypes. However, we must remain vigilant and continue to defend women’s rights, because even in the most progressive environments, inequality insidiously persists. Women’s Day marks both a recognition of the progress made and a reminder to continue the fight for total equality. The women and men of Chabé must continue to advance together! »
Leslie Moica, Group Sales and Marketing Director: « As the Group’s Sales and Marketing Director, I’m proud to contribute to the development of a company that values the skills of everyone, regardless of gender. It is by normalising these behaviours in the workplace that the young women of tomorrow will be able to develop their full potential.
While this day is an opportunity to celebrate the developments in our society in terms of gender equality, it is also a reminder that we still have a long way to go. »
Mélanie Quillier, Director of the Events Department: « As a woman, I’m obviously sensitive to the date of March 8, which reminds us each year that what we take for granted today has not always been so.
International Women’s Rights Day is an opportunity to celebrate the battles we have fought and the victories we have already achieved, while keeping our eyes on the road ahead towards gender equality.
I’m proud to be Events Director for a company like Chabé, which knows how to recognize and value the skills and potential of each individual, far from the stereotypes sometimes associated with the world of transport. »
Nivin Salem, International Operations Director: « While the contributions and potential of women are worth recognizing every day, International Women’s Day is a day to reflect and celebrate the progress made in empowering women. It also gives an opportunity to recognize what still needs to be achieved.
I am proud to be working at Chabé where women have been in leadership positions for many decades. As a female Director at Chabé with a multicultural background, I am pleased to be able to support Chabé in the continued quest of gender equality. »
At Chabé, International Women’s Rights Day is an opportunity to reaffirm our strong commitment to professional equality and diversity.

Alexandre Queraud, a man of many hats, has forged his professional path with passion and determination. His career path, which began in accounting, led him to explore various opportunities before finding his place at Chabé, where he now excels as Fleet manager with coordination and chauffeur duties.
Alexandre Queraud began his career as an accountant, but his passion for vehicles soon led him to other horizons. After obtaining his BTS in commerce, he joined a company specializing in sports and prestige vehicles as a salesman, and quickly progressed to Sales Manager.
In 2013, Alexandre crossed paths with Chabé in Toulouse, as a chauffeur.
Over the years, and thanks to his previous experience, he has become a key element in the development of the office. Primarily dedicated to event coordination, his contribution extends to the dispatch department, where he is responsible for fleet management and maintenance.
Chauffeur training is also a significant part of his duties, where he shares his expertise and provides sound advice to future Chabé professional chauffeurs.
Working in Toulouse, the cradle of aeronautics, has influenced Alexandre’s career path, for whom this field is more than just an industry: it’s a family affair. He adds: « When I started working, the VTC profession didn’t yet exist. I’ve seen the chauffeur profession evolve over the years, sometimes with a drop in the level of service… However, thanks to companies like Chabé, the high standards and prestige of the profession have remained true to its origins as a Chauffeur de Grande Remise. It’s this distinction that means I still enjoy working for the Group.
Chabé is much more than just a company: first and foremost, it’s one of the best training schools for professional chauffeurs, but it’s also a family business with very strong values.
Chabé has given me the opportunity to experience many memorable moments, such as accompanying our clients to the Cannes Film Festival or the Monaco Grand Prix.
I’m proud to be working in Toulouse, in a company that is constantly growing, visionary and focused on personalized services. »
A family business since 1921, Chabé gives everyone the chance to express their talents.

In the summer of 2023, we proudly announced the opening of a new office in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, headed by Laurent Euzet, to offer a bespoke, differentiated and responsible chauffeur-driven transport service throughout the country and the Gulf.
We take a look at this new agency in an interview with Ibrahim Khan, Chabé Dubai’s private chauffeur.
What led you to join Chabé after working as a taxi driver in Dubai for several years?
I used to work for TLT Limo, which was recently taken over by the Chabé Group. This transition strengthened my conviction to stay with a company that values quality of service and customer satisfaction.
In your experience as a chauffeur, what are the distinctive features of Chabé’s services?
What really sets Chabé apart is its commitment to service quality. We don’t just transport our customers from A to B, we offer a personalised experience. Chabé’s services are designed to meet the high expectations of a discerning clientele in Dubai.
Speaking of clients, how would you describe the relationship with high-end customers, and how does it differ from your previous experience as a taxi driver?
The relationship with high-end customers at Chabé is more intimate. We are there to meet their specific needs and provide an impeccable service. Chabé understands the importance of every detail, and that’s what makes all the difference to my previous taxi experience.
As a chauffeur at Chabé, how do you perceive well-being at work and how does this influence the quality of the service you provide?
Well-being at work is a priority at Chabé, and it shows. The company takes care of its employees, which translates into a positive working environment. A happy chauffeur is a chauffeur who can offer an exceptional service. It’s a virtuous circle that Chabé values.
But well-being at work at Chabé goes beyond personal satisfaction. CSR awareness creates an environment where everyone feels involved in positive actions for society and the environment. Chabé’s environmental commitments, such as eco-driving, waste management and the integration of electric vehicles, reinforce our pride in contributing to a responsible company. This translates directly into the quality of the service we offer, because our customers appreciate supporting committed companies.
For our readers who are considering using our services in Dubai, what would you say to convince them to choose Chabé?
Chabé is much more than a transport service. It’s a high-end experience, bespoke to the unique needs of each client. If you’re looking for quality, attention to detail and absolute comfort, and you want to support a company committed to responsible practices, Chabé is the obvious choice.

At the end of November 2023, Chabé opened its doors and committed to offering people with disabilities the opportunity to form a duo with a volunteer employee from the family business.
The aim? Share, exchange and, above all, offer a concrete immersion in the professional world within our company.
DuoDay isn’t just about professional discovery, it’s a human experience, a time for sharing where barriers are broken down and everyone’s skills are showcased.
For Chabé, it’s an opportunity to contribute to the emergence of new aspirations. A number of our employees gave us feedback on this exchange:
Lucie Davieaud, Head of Communication & Marketing : « For several years now, Chabé has been strengthening its CSR commitment by raising awareness among its employees, so the DuoDay was a logical extension of our actions. I was lucky to welcome Fiona to show her the job of communications for 1 day. It was quite intense and we both learnt a lot from the day. I can’t wait to take part in next year’s event, and to motivate my colleagues to do the same.”
Claire Lemaire, Communication & Marketing Project Manager: « Taking part in DuoDay was an enriching experience for me. Thanks to the sharing and human connection, I loved every moment of it. It’s gratifying to see how our exchanges create bonds, paving the way towards a more inclusive and welcoming society for all. »
Virginie Medrano, Administrative Assistant: « It was an emotional day with Hugo, a bit special I must admit. It enabled me to appreciate just how lucky we are to be integrated into society and a professional environment, and helped Hugo to think about his future career.
That’s why, and in order to give other people with disabilities some hope of integration, I’m looking forward to the next DuoDay. »
Flora Chaise, CSR Manager: « DuoDay is an opportunity for concrete exchange, helping us to overcome prejudices and project ourselves together towards a more inclusive world. The feedback from the pairs has all been positive, and we hope to repeat the experience on a larger scale next year.”
Chabé is proud to contribute to this noble cause and to support the DuoDay project. Together, we’re working towards a society where professional opportunities are accessible to all, where diversity is valued and talent is not limited by barriers.

Aurélien Neger, a Bordeaux-based employee of Chabé since 2012, embodies the spirit of boldness and versatility at Chabé. With a bachelor’s degree in literature in his pocket, followed by a degree in geography and a master’s in town planning, punctuated by a trip across Europe and Africa, Aurélien followed a singular path before finding his way at Chabé.
By chance, Aurélien discovered the world of luxury transport and became a private chauffeur. His passion for the history of Bordeaux wine and his command of English were invaluable assets in presenting the countryside to his passengers. After a short spell with another transport company, his path crossed that of Chabé in 2012.
For more than 7 years, he alternated between his role as a chauffeur with Chabé, and positions in prestigious establishments such as Palaces and 4-star hotels, from Courchevel to Bordeaux, via Val Morel. This multitude of professional hats reveals his ability to embrace a diversity of professions and allows him to develop his client relationships.
In May 2023, Grégoire Vaillant, Director of Chabé Bordeaux, offered Aurélien an unprecedented opportunity: to stay in the transport business and help him develop the agency. Aurélien accepted, seeing it as a chance to prove his expertise.
His current responsibilities at Chabé extend far beyond driving. From managing orders to responding to invitations to tender, from operations to dispatch, including vehicle maintenance and invoicing, Aurélien is developing real expertise and becoming a key part of the Bordeaux office.
Aurélien explains: « For me, the Group embodies the very essence of excellence, while preserving a family heritage that goes back more than a century.
For me, working at Chabé Bordeaux is much more than a profession. Every day, I cultivate my passion for luxury vehicles, feeling valued while strengthening the customer relationship, which is very important to me.
Being multi-skilled gives me a unique opportunity to discover the inner workings of a company. Contributing to the agency’s development is a major challenge, and I see it as a daily challenge. “

London-based chauffeur John Davies, who drives for Chabé, has won the Bronze Award in the Professional Driver of the Year category of the prestigious Professional Driver QSi Awards.
Professional Driver Editor Mark Bursa said: “It says a lot for John Davies that when Chabé was starting operations, he was the first driver to be recruited. He’s become something of a ‘team captain’, for the company, with an air of calm professionalism and trustworthiness that is vital when dealing with senior executives of large corporations. Earlier this year he was diagnosed with cancer, but has now been given the all-clear and is back at work.”
Professional Driver magazine’s QSi Awards ceremony was a night to remember for the cream of Britain’s chauffeur and private hire operators. The awards, open to every chauffeur and private hire company in the UK, are designed to recognise operators and individuals that demonstrate excellent standards of Quality, Service and Innovation.
This award recognizes John as a key pillar of our excellent fully employed paye chauffeur team. Chabé remains one of the few chauffeur businesses in London that retains a fully employed, paye chauffeur team.
Congratulations to John for this outstanding achievement, and a big thank you to the entire Chabé team for their continuous support.
Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were presented in 11 categories at a thrilling event, held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Brighton.
The 11 categories mean there’s something for every size and type of operator, from one-man bands to large fleets. Categories also reward innovations in marketing, environmental performance and local community activities, while a special award – Professional Driver of the Year – singles out a chauffeur or private hire driver who is judged to be the best in the UK.
Mark Bursa said: “The private hire, taxi and chauffeur industry makes an enormous contribution to keeping Britain moving. This year’s Professional Driver QSi Awards recognise those amazing efforts and bring the industry together for a much-needed night of celebration.”
Mark Bursa continued: “This year the QSi Awards celebrated their 10th Birthday. Since 2013 we have awarded more than 300 QSi Awards, and this year we presented our 100th Gold Award. The quality and number of the entries grows every year, and this year it was an especially tough job to pick our winners. Only very good operators made the short list, so we can be sure our Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are among the very best in Britain.”

Chabé, a family business since 1921 and an expert in the bespoke mobility sector, has established itself as a long-standing service provider to luxury hotels. With a view to perpetuating its long-standing relationship with these actors, the Group is proud to welcome Aurélie Vaux as Hotels Manager.
With 20 years of experience in the hotel industry, Aurélie is actively involved in developing customer relations. In this interview, the Group takes a look back at her career path, her motivations and the vision that unites Chabé and its hotels.
Can you tell us about your previous experience in the hotel industry?
The sales field in which I’ve worked since I started out has given me two areas of expertise: multi-segment sales development and project management.
In my career, I’ve held the positions of Sales Director for a hotel (NH, Concorde) then for a multi-property (B Signature) and group-wide (Millésime). My last role involved representing the brand internationally and defining its positioning through strategic actions with our partners.
Finally, team management, now indirect, has always played a major role in my career.
What attracted you to Chabé and why did you join the Group?
I love the richness of a family business that has stood the test of time. There’s a real history behind the name. It was a constant quest for excellence and an unrivalled knowledge of luxury transport that made me want to join Chabé.
Discovering a sector that is satellite to the hotel industry, with the same high standards of quality and acting as a white label for hotels, is a way for me to keep one foot in the exciting world of hospitality.
Today I’m wearing a different suit, but the fundamentals of the business remain the same. My commercial and operational skills have been transferred to an exceptional clientele whose codes I know well. Returning to a hotel network that I’m particularly fond of is also an advantage in terms of customer relations.
You have acquired a great deal of experience in the hotel industry. Have you already identified the challenges you expect to face at Chabé?
Mastering each contract and its specific features is essential in order to deliver a bespoke service to the hotel. On this key point, the parameter that changes the game for me is the time factor, because the immediacy of assignments is even more pronounced in the luxury transport environment. Added to this are the challenges posed by external traffic factors and unforeseen events, which we have to deal with constantly in order to anticipate on a daily basis.
One of the hallmarks of our relationship of trust is the longevity of our partners. Some of them have been with us for over 60 years. This longevity is just as significant as it is with our employees. On a less official note, I have a few friends who worked for Chabé 20 years ago and who are still raving about their professional experience. It is the employees of the past and present who remain the company’s best ambassadors.
What is your vision for the development of the long-term relationship between Chabé and the hotels?
Like a beehive, there are many of us working together to ensure the success of our commitments. Our understanding of the challenges faced by each establishment we serve, its organisation, its clientele and its strategy, inspires us to think continuously and inexhaustibly about how we can improve our services. We operate in a microcosm where we have to keep abreast of the latest developments, concepts and openings. Some of our projects abroad may be driven by our customers’ desire to support them on an international level.
Chabé, the bespoke expert in event transport, continues to establish itself as a major player in the world of racquet sports. Chabé once again demonstrated its ability to manage highly sought-after sporting events at several major international competitions held in Paris between May and November this year.
Organising these 3 tournaments is a real challenge, requiring meticulous preparation several months in advance. In fact, over 7 months of organisation were needed to put on these major events, to accompany over 56,000 people through almost 27,000 disposal services.
On average…
… Our teams were on the ground for 31 consecutive days, 7 days a week, ready to meet the needs of the sportsmen and women and the organisers…
… Nearly than 140 chauffeurs were mobilised to guarantee a quality service for these 3 events
… More than 90 partner vehicles, 74% of them low-carbon vehicles
… A 20-strong team of experts at each tournament was dedicated to the overall coordination of the event.
These figures reflect the team spirit that drives Chabé, one of our core values, and consolidate our position as an expert in event transport. We are proud to support competitions of this scale and to contribute to their success.
At Chabé, our expertise in event transport goes hand in hand with our commitment to environmental responsibility. We are delighted to support environmentally conscious events and to contribute to the success of these internationally renowned competitions while working towards a greener future.

Chabé’s confidence rests on its employees, because we firmly believe that determination in their profession emerges from the opportunities we offer them.
Today, the family business is proud to share the story of Patricia Requier, a committed and passionate employee.
During her years at lycée, Patricia accumulated a number of summer jobs, working in sometimes demanding conditions, whether in catering, on the marshes or during the grape harvest. These early experiences instilled in her valuable skills and invaluable perseverance.
Patricia decided to leave her native Normandy to explore new opportunities in Paris. At the age of 21, she found a job as a waitress in a brasserie, a position she would hold for the next 20 years.
In February 2022, Patricia made a bold decision to change careers. She polished up her CV and started sending out job applications. At that point, Chabé caught her eye and a job offer in the technical department caught her attention. Patricia tried her luck, passed the interview and finally got the job of Technical Assistant.
Working at Chabé has given her the opportunity to discover a new world, that of luxury transport. Today, Patricia is involved in a variety of tasks, including managing drivers’ requests. Whether it’s resolving a problem with a vehicle or responding to drivers’ requests, Patricia is the guarantor of the Group’s prestigious image. She is also responsible for the return and collection of rental vehicles and those in the Chabé fleet.
Patricia explains: « In my job, you have to be able to react quickly. We’ve already had situations where chauffeurs have informed us of a technical problem in the middle of a journey. We have to react immediately so that the fault doesn’t disrupt the journey and, by the same token, the experience of our clients. We go straight to the chauffeur with an identical vehicle and exchange it. These are details that are invisible to our customers, but which nevertheless enable us at Chabé to offer a quality of service that is as prestigious as ever.
I see this career change as an opportunity that arose at a decisive moment in my life. Joining Chabé has given me a new vision of the world of work. I’m enthusiastic and smile when I get up in the morning. Over the months, I’ve proved my worth and my skills, and my colleagues now have complete confidence in me.
Being a woman in this predominantly male sector is an asset, a plus for our team. I bring a special kind of wisdom and attentiveness to our discussions with chauffeurs, which proves to be a significant advantage during busy periods.”
A family business since 1921, Chabé gives everyone the chance to express their talents.
If you’re looking for exciting opportunities and want to work for a fast-growing Group with expertise in mobility, join Chabé!
In the constantly evolving bespoke transport sector, Chabé stands out for its commitment to strengthening its presence throughout France. Over the decades, the Group has forged a reputation for excellence and luxury expertise.
Recently, the Journal des Flottes published an article highlighting our ability to reinvent ourselves in the face of major challenges, while our participation in the Journal de l’Automobile programme was an opportunity to share our expertise with a wider audience.
Let’s take a look back at these 2 news.
The Journal des Flottes
The article dedicated to Chabé highlights our ability to reinvent ourselves, even after 100 years in business.
Indeed, the arrival of VTC platforms was the first major challenge facing our family business. Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, explains, « They offered a Mercedes, with a chauffeur in a suit who arrived with bottles of water and sweets in the back. This undermined our added value.
Faced with this situation, the family business decided to reinvent itself by turning to luxury. « This choice allowed us to stand out from the crowd, because the others were going in the opposite direction, » says Guillaume Connan.
Today, the Group is still pursuing its quest for innovation. In an interview in 2022, Guillaume Connan pointed out that more and more clients are expressing a preference for environmentally-friendly modes of transport. Fabiola Monteverde, Group Fleet Manager, is committed to maintaining the excellence of our vehicles while promoting the development of our low-carbon fleet.
Le Journal de l’Automobile
As part of this continuous improvement approach, Chabé had the opportunity to highlight its expertise in the field of telematics. The world of telematics is constantly changing, and is becoming an essential tool for the Group.
During her appearance on the Journal de l’Automobile programme, Fabiola Monteverde shared our French expertise and highlighted the key role played by technology in improving our luxury service.
Telematics has evolved considerably, becoming more accessible, comprehensive and accurate. Thanks to the telematics box fitted to our vehicles, Chabé is able to collect a wide range of data, including mileage, fuel consumption, route optimisation and chauffeur behaviour analysis.
Fabiola Monteverde emphasises the crucial importance of this data: « For example, it allows us to monitor any traffic problems in real time, enabling our operational teams to react quickly and propose solutions on the ground ».
By collecting this valuable data, Chabé continues to innovate in order to offer an exceptional service, while remaining attentive to the needs of our customers, demonstrating our commitment to excellence.
Thanks to these various decisions, Chabé in 2023 will have :
In 2023, Chabé opened a new branch in Dubai, a city known the world over for its exceptional tourist destinations and unique real estate projects.
As the hub of the Middle East, Dubai has quickly established itself as the Group’s preferred location. The local market, focused on standardised transport, coexists with the continuing development of luxury hotels.
Chabé Dubai is headed up by Laurent Euzet, who previously headed up the Cannes office and helped launch several of the Group’s other offices, notably in Monaco and the Alps.
In this interview, find out more about the family firm’s latest agency, based in the City of Gold.
At the end of 2022, the Chabé Group took the strategic decision to set up in Dubai to offer a bespoke, differentiated and responsible chauffeur transport service across the country and the Gulf. Can you tell us what happened next?
In its quest for internationalisation, Chabé took the strategic decision, at the end of 2022, to enter the Dubai market. The project came about with the acquisition of TLT Limo, a local chauffeured car transport company renowned for the quality of its services and sharing the same values of excellence as the Group. This acquisition has enabled us to develop our relationships with a number of well-known hotels, but also to maintain our high standards of service to our clients.
In addition to what we already had, we brought our French expertise and our technological innovations, such as telematics.
Developing in a new country also means immersing yourself in a new culture, new laws and so on. So we had to adapt. Companies and events in this region are not used to outsourcing their transport needs. As a result, we had to do a lot of work to establish relationships of trust with our potential clients and convince them of the advantages of working through Chabé.
What services do you provide in Dubai?
Whether in France or Dubai, we offer a complete range of bespoke chauffeured transport services. From simple transfers to the coordination of transport for complex events, our focus is on service excellence and client satisfaction.
The dedicated chauffeur service is designed specifically to meet the needs of hotel guests. At any time, a guest may wish to travel to a museum, a shopping trip or a party. Thanks to our vehicles, which are available in front of the hotels, guests can be accompanied to the desired location in just a few minutes, all from the comfort of the back of a prestigious car.
In the years to come, we would like to develop our relationship with company directors in order to provide them with daily accompaniment, which is equivalent to the French dedicated chauffeur service.
For those who like to discover new landscapes, we organise exceptional tours, notably to Abu Dhabi, Al-Ain and Ras Al Khaimah.
Can you tell us a bit about your team and the approach you take to delivering a prestige transport experience?
The well-being of our employees is at the heart of the successful development of this new office. We are proud to have 51 dedicated employees with in-depth knowledge of the country and solid expertise in the field of private transport.
To ensure seamless coordination, we rely on a workforce that is always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This includes not only our 40 chauffeurs, but also a team of 5 dispatchers and 6 administrators who work in tandem.
Our team is building, evolving and taking part in this new adventure with determination and goodwill.
Since 1921, the history of Chabé has been closely linked to hotels. Far from France, what is the agency’s current relationship with the hotels of Dubai?
Chabé’s relationship with the hotels in Dubai is just as close and special as the one we have built up in France. When we acquired TLT Limo, we were fortunate enough to be able to maintain our contracts with existing hotels, which enabled us to preserve our partnerships. Today, we work with 4 prestigious hotels, the Four Seasons Jumeirah, the Four Seasons DIFC, the Mandarin Oriental and the iconic Burj Al Arab.
We are also looking to the future, actively working to create new relationships with other hotels in Dubai. Indeed, as early as December, we will be working with a new hotel, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to providing excellent transport services in this thriving region.
What do you think sets Chabé Dubai apart from other private transport operators in the region?
In Dubai, we are the only French company in the bespoke transport sector. So our French expertise is a strength!
But what really sets us apart is our brand image, a prestigious image that is recognised abroad, particularly among concierge managers and hotel directors.
We are fortunate to be part of a prestigious Group that has made a name for itself with a wide range of actors in the luxury, sports and industrial sectors. We have worked closely with these companies, particularly on an international level, by opening our office in the United Arab Emirates.
What are the agency’s plans for the end of 2023?
The end of the year is quite busy in Dubai, with the end of the Dubai Airshow from 13 to 17 November and the launch of COP 28 at the end of November until 12 December, which intensifies our private chauffeur-driven transport business.
We will soon be working alongside a new hotel opening in December. 12 chauffeurs and 1 coordinator will be looking after clients’ needs, thanks in particular to the 6 vehicles made available in front of this hotel.
Another project, which concerns our teams more than anything else, is the move. We’re moving to new premises in order to develop our business as effectively as possible and to welcome the new Chabé Dubai employees.
More generally, we’re continuing to set up shop and get to know the market so that we can move into new markets in the region very soon.
We still have other fairly ambitious projects, but they’re scheduled for 2024 or even 2025, so I’ll be able to tell you a bit more about them next year.

Our Diversity and Inclusion policy demonstrates our commitment to welcoming and promoting all talents to enable them to flourish within the Group. In a predominantly male sector, Chabé is stepping up its efforts to recruit talented women who are passionate about their work.
This charter aims to enrich the company’s diversity and provide an inclusive working environment for all.
By offering everyone a rewarding professional environment, we are contributing to positive change in our industry.
Chabé’s professional chauffeurs play an essential role in the Group’s reputation. Their dedication to excellence and their ability to deliver unrivalled transport experiences are the foundation of Chabé’s prestigious reputation.
Since its creation by Maurice Chabé in 1921, the Group has demonstrated excellence and prestige in many areas of bespoke mobility, particularly in the events sector.
One of our values is rooted in the DNA of the family business and perfectly embodies the investment and dedication of our teams: At Chabé, we like a challenge. We love unusual projects and contexts. Over the years, we’ve learned to do things we’ve never done before. Chabé’s expertise is unquestionable. To meet our clients’ needs as effectively as possible, the family business has developed a real culture of sports events.
As the finals of the Rugby World Cup 2023 in Paris and a historic sporting event in 2024 approach, Chabé is preparing to play a key role in the logistics of these global events. Find out how Chabé’s expertise continues to evolve to meet the needs of major sporting events, with a focus on sustainability and exceptional customer experience.
Ever since the Football World Cup in 1998, Chabé has been making its expertise in event transport available to the biggest sports federations. Football, rugby, golf, racquet sports… whatever the scale or logistical difficulty of the event, Chabé does its utmost to rise to the challenge.
Every year, our events teams redouble their efforts to ensure that clients are transported. The upstream work requires several months of preparation, which enables us to be highly efficient every year.
Mélanie Quillier, Events Director at Chabé explains: « Organising an event often requires several months of preparation.
It starts with studying the specifications and understanding the expectations and challenges of each event, so that we can advise the client and offer them a bespoke organisation and timetable.
We then organise and take part in a large number of meetings, such as site scouting, kick-off meetings with the client and the various parties involved, training and briefings for our teams, etc. Planning the project, defining human and material requirements, selecting suitable profiles, monitoring the budget(s), etc. Our know-how, acquired over many years, means that Chabé is now the expert in getting you around on the day(s) of the event. »
However, these events would not be possible without our ambassadors, the Chabé private chauffeurs.
Initiated into the codes of luxury, they all receive training as soon as they join the Group. Over a two-week period, Chabé chauffeurs take part in a training programme that includes English and history classes, as well as a module focusing on emotional development. In addition, they are made aware of the correct behaviour to adopt and have to pass two driving tests in the company of customers.
Then there’s the event training, adapted to each event. Before the event, the chauffeurs receive detailed information about the event, the dress code, where to park and drop off passengers, how to introduce themselves, etc. « Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional customer experience. This includes punctuality, communicating the expected journey time, and paying attention to passenger comfort… » explains Anthony Dampa, Head of Chauffeur Recruitment and Training.
Thanks to our rigorous training, we maintain a prestigious quality of service, which has earned us the trust of many well-known sports clients.
Chabé has established itself as a trusted partner for sporting events. Over the years, the family business has built up a wealth of references, including the 2018 League Cup Final in Bordeaux, the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the Women’s Alpine Skiing World Cup in the Alps, the Ryder Cup and many others.
What’s more, the family business is proud to be able to meet the ecological needs of certain sporting events. The last tournaments in 2023 confirmed the Group’s environmental commitment. We observed a 15% increase in the number of low-carbon vehicles for the same event compared with the previous year, 2022.
At these sporting events, our expertise encompasses a multitude of services. To meet the needs of all our clients, Chabé offers, in addition to the event transport service, a transfer service to and from stations and airports for the arrival and departure of sports players, VIPs, the organising team, etc.
In addition to this expertise in managing the travel of players, staff and others, the family business also offers a punctual transport service for individuals wishing to travel to the event venue, as well as for all travel before and after the event.
Chabé’s expertise in the field of sports events has therefore developed well both in France and internationally, and we continue to establish ourselves as a leading international player in event transport.
The strategic location of our various agencies and our network of international partners means we can support you throughout your event, wherever it takes place.
For each sporting event, a project team made up of a project manager, experienced planners, dispatchers and coordinators deploys its expertise to manage the transport of events that are often out of the ordinary, involving up to 300 chauffeurs.
A team of experts is dedicated to managing the transport of events upstream of the event for each client in France and abroad.
After analysing requirements, a site survey is organised to propose the best route between passenger departures and arrivals.
On site, the teams recruit, select, train, supervise and coordinate, with the utmost discretion, to ensure that the transport experience matches the events imagined by its customers.
In addition, a team is dedicated to IT and admin support for the event, available 24/7.
Whether it’s an event with just a few cars or a large-scale event, everything is thought out and put in place to ensure that transport fits in as naturally as possible with what has preceded it or what will follow.
Last week, Chabé’s teams in Paris and Bordeaux played a key role in organising the transport of the British royal couple and their delegation. This large-scale mission required the mobilisation of almost twenty vehicles, demonstrating our ability to provide a high-quality bespoke transport service.
Transporting the British royal couple was an exceptional mission that highlighted our expertise in managing the travel of internationally renowned personalities. The sheer scale of the assignment presented a logistical challenge that we successfully met, ensuring that every detail of the journey was efficiently coordinated.
In addition, discretion and professionalism are at the heart of our services. We understand the importance of preserving the privacy of our clients, particularly when they are royalty. Our team of chauffeurs and coordinators have been specially trained to ensure a safe and stress-free journey.
This royal transport mission is testimony to our commitment to excellence. Each mission is an opportunity to demonstrate our dedication to providing a superior service. We would like to thank our teams in Paris and Bordeaux for their professionalism and dedication, which contributed to the success of this memorable mission.
We are proud of our ability to meet the unique needs of our clients throughout France and around the world, whether they are royalty, business leaders or discerning travellers. We look forward to continuing to offer French-style bespoke transport services, combining elegance, discretion and efficiency, to a diverse and discerning clientele.
On 22 and 23 September, our team in Marseille had the honour of managing the bespoke transport of Pope Francis and his delegation during his visit to the region. This exceptional mission underlines our commitment to quality of service and discretion, two of Chabé’s core values.
Pope Francis’ visit to Marseille was a moment of great importance for the city. For Chabé, it represented a major logistical challenge. We took responsibility for ensuring that every aspect of the trip ran smoothly, drawing on our expertise in managing the transport of high-ranking personalities.
At the heart of this mission was our commitment to excellence. Our chauffeurs and coordination team were meticulously prepared to ensure the comfort and safety of Pope Francis and his delegation during their journey.
Discretion has always been an essential feature of our services. We understand the crucial importance of preserving our clients’ privacy, especially when dealing with high-profile personalities. In the case of the Pope’s visit, this discretion was paramount, and we scrupulously respected it.
Chabé firmly believes in the ability of its employees and values the ambition, determination and talent of each individual. The Group cultivates a culture of opportunity, the chance to grow and develop professional skills.
Today, the family business is proud to share the story of Anthony Dampa, a committed and passionate employee.
After obtaining his HR degree, Anthony Dampa decided to continue his studies in organisational management. At the same time, he joined Chabé in 2017 as a professional chauffeur, working on a series of fixed-term contracts. « I’ve never seen this job as a constraint. I started at the Paris International Air Show, and I immediately developed a real passion for my profession » shares Anthony. This vision and his commitment will enable him to sign his first permanent contract with the family business in 2019.
In 2020, thanks to his studies and his professionalism, Anthony is helping to organise a sporting event that is highly prized both in France and internationally. Asked to help again in 2021, Anthony says: « Thanks to my years as a professional chauffeur, I know what it’s like on the ground. That’s a real plus during interviews, as I can easily get a feel for the candidate based on their profile, presentation and way of expressing themselves, and above all test their knowledge of the city« . This opportunity gives her a new perspective on his future career…
From October 2021, Anthony Dampa will be moving on and enthusiastically embarking on his new role as Chauffeur Recruiter and Training. Thanks to his dedication and rigour, in 2023 he was appointed Manager of the same department, responsible for driver monitoring and quality control. To prepare this year’s events as effectively as possible, Anthony has trained and manages a team of 4 people.
« Chauffeur follow-up is essential » explains Anthony. « Initially, we collect applications, organise interviews and test their knowledge of the city. Once the future chauffeurs have been recruited, we put in place an ongoing training programme based on Chabé’s quality standards. Chauffeurs receive detailed information on how to prepare for each journey, with an emphasis on the cleanliness of the vehicle, personal appearance, how to present themselves, etc. Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional customer experience. This includes punctuality, communication of the expected journey time, and attention to passenger comfort… In addition to quality standards, chauffeurs must acquire a deep knowledge of the city’s topography and tourist information. During this training, they also have the opportunity to discover Chabé’s characteristic values and expertise.
As experienced professional chauffeurs, they know how to adapt to every type of clientele. All speak French and English, and many have a command of a third language.
During specific events, I visit the site to ensure that assignments are running smoothly and to exchange advice, always with a view to continuous improvement. I’m proud to work for Chabé, because my professional development goes hand in hand with my desire to help the Group grow.”
Chabé is a fast-growing company on a human scale, encouraging versatility and giving everyone the opportunity to express their talents. Team spirit, essential to the smooth running of operations, is omnipresent, as is customer culture.
If you’re looking for fascinating opportunities and want to work for a family business with expert in the field of mobility, join Chabé!

Chabé, a major provider of chauffeur services to luxury hotels, proudly announced its sponsorship of the prestigious AA Lifetime Achievement Award at the AA Hospitality Awards ceremony. The event, held in vibrant London on 25 September 2023, delivered on its promise with an evening of celebration of unrivalled commitment and recognises the very best in the hospitality industry.
« We have been partners with AA Hotel and Hospitality Services for a third successive year. Our partnership reflects our heritage and commitment to serving luxury hotels. Chabé was the pioneer and first provider of chauffeur services for Parisian hotels and palaces in 1921, » explains David Bruce, Director of Chabé’s London office. « More luxury hotels are choosing to partner with Chabé throughout Europe, including Monaco, Switzerland, London and our new office in Dubai.
World-renowned hotels select Chabé to offer their guests a transport experience to equal their stay. Our Group understands the importance of every detail in a guest’s experience, and this is reflected in the premium chauffeur services we offer. From airport pick-up to transport to local tourist sites, Chabé has always been able to meet the most discerning needs of luxury hotels and their guests. »
This enduring association between Chabé and the hotel industry is based on a shared vision and commitment over many decades of service.
The AA Lifetime Achievement Award precisely reflects these values. Recipients of this award have dedicated their working lives to improving and consistently delivering service excellence. Chabé, as a sponsor, shares this same tradition of excellence.
Our CEO Guillaume Connan was delighted to present the award to Jonathan Raggett, Director of Red Carnation Hotels.
The AA Hospitality Awards offered a prestigious evening of recognition, where the hospitality industry comes together to celebrate the very best in the industry.

In the last few years, Chabé has gradually developed its environmental commitment through a number of concrete actions. With a more eco-responsible fleet, plant-based bottles, a partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation and its contribution to carbon neutrality, the Group is evolving to become a major player in the fight against climate change in its field.
In 2022, Chabé joins the Great Challenge to rethink its role and responsibility in the face of this ecological challenge.
The ecological Great Challenge stems from an environmental observation: global warming. The question surrounding this issue is how to stem the tide.
These days, businesses play an important role in the ecological transition. As key players in the fight against climate change and the decline in biodiversity, it is vital for companies to join forces. This is the purpose of the Great Challenge:
Mobilising businesses and their ecosystems to create a new
model of economic prosperity, humanist and regenerative
Networks of companies, trade unions, associations and institutions, scientists, managers, students and citizens: the Great Challenge brings together a wide range of partners to strengthen its legitimacy and promote its deployment. Thanks to the financial support received from the sponsors, the ecological Great Challenge has gone from being a project to Great Consultation.
Through an inclusive and participatory process, Virginie Raisson-Victor and Jérôme Cohen, founders of the Great Challenge, want to bring companies together in the form of a « citizens’ convention ». The ultimate aim of the Great Challenge is to generate 100 proposals in favour of the environment.
Therefore, before any initiative, it is essential to carry out a survey of stakeholders in order to identify environmental obstacles and opportunities. This survey is officially known as the « Great Consultation ».
After several weeks of data processing by Bluenove, the Great Consultation will gather over 65,000 responses. Thanks to all this feedback, the project will move on to a new stage: the Great Deliberation.
After analysing the results, a draw was held to select several companies. At the end of the Great Challenge, these companies will be asked to put forward 100 proposals for overcoming environmental obstacles.
Thanks to this selection process, the companies chosen represent the diversity of the French economic fabric in the best possible way, based on four key criteria: number of employees, business sector, geographical location and company status.
From a base of 120,000 INSEE companies, 18,000 were selected to take part in this ecological challenge. In the end, only 100 companies were selected, and then had to nominate a manager, shareholder or employee to become a Delegate.
In May 2022, Chabé received the news of its participation and chose Flora Chaise, CSR Manager within the Group, to represent the family business as Delegate.
Following the draw, 6 sessions of 2 days each follow. Each plenary meeting is accompanied by experts of climate, biodiversity and the economy, to give the Delegates the best possible training and advice.
Each meeting, held in a different city, deals with a predefined theme:
A total of 50 conferences and 150 workshops were held over a period of 7 months to generate effective ideas. Following the Great Deliberation, 100 of these ideas were selected to move on to the next stage: the Great Diffusion, during which they will be communicated and shared.
The 100 proposals are divided into 11 topics: Governance, Commitment, Financing, Production Tools, Production, Logistics, Packaging, Distribution, Communication, Accounting and Remuneration.
In the form of an action manual, this booklet of 100 proposals is being distributed to business networks, Great Challenge partners, political players (President, government, elected representatives) and academic institutions.
Communicated to all, the objective remains the same since the Great Consultation: to accelerate our ecological transition and become a committed player in environmental issues.
Chabé actively supports the Great Challenge initiatives. The Group has already taken concrete action on some of the proposals, such as establishing a purpose associated with environmental objectives. In addition, the family business has implemented a packaging recycling system, the latest ecological innovation being the use of plant-based bottles.
The other proposals, which are feasible in our sector of activity, represent a real challenge for Chabé. Developing employee training and setting ambitious environmental targets – these new challenges will enable the family business to make a significant contribution to preserving the environment in the years to come.

After France, Switzerland, Monaco and the UK, Chabé is continuing to expand internationally with the opening of an office in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
As the hub of the Middle East, Dubai has rapidly established itself as a key destination for the Group: the highly fragmented local market offers mainly standardised transport services, while the region’s luxury hotel offer continues to expand, attracting a growing number of travellers, business people and prestigious events in sectors as varied as air defence, luxury, sport, tourism and the diplomatic sector.
At the end of 2022, Chabé took the strategic decision to set up in Dubai to offer a bespoke , differentiated and responsible chauffeured services across the country and the Gulf.
The project came to fruition with the acquisition of TLT Limo, a local car transport service provided by a chauffeur company renowned for the quality of its services and sharing the same values of excellence as Chabé. TLT Limo’s clients include several luxury hotels in Dubai, such as the Four Seasons Jumeirah, the Four Seasons DIFC, the Mandarin Oriental and the iconic Burj Al Arab.
Chabé Dubai is headed up by Laurent Euzet, who was previously head of Chabé Cannes and helped launch several of the Group’s other agencies, particularly in Monaco and the Alps.
The team on site has almost 40 people and a fleet of 35 vehicles: Mercedes V-Class, S-Class, Lexus, Cadillac Escalade, etc. Between now and the end of the year, we will be integrating new, latest-generation, low-carbon vehicles, in particular the new BMW I7, in order to offer a responsible transport service in line with the country’s objectives and the Group’s strategy.
« Opening our new office in Dubai is a key step in our development. We are convinced that our expertise, our highly personalised approach and our strong commitment to sustainable mobility will enable us to offer a new transport experience with a level of service unrivalled in the region, » shares Guillaume Connan, CEO of the Group.
Chabé is now present in 5 countries – France, Switzerland, Monaco, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates – with its own teams and fleet of vehicles. In addition to its own resources, the Group has forged strong partnerships with the best operators around the world, enabling it to accompany its customers wherever they go with the same level of quality.
As part of its CSR approach and as an extension of its personalised customer experience, Chabé is replacing the water bottles provided to its passengers with new bottles of plant-based origin.
In 2020, the Group changed its bottles for new Evian bottles without labels. These 40cl bottles were made entirely from recycled materials and were 100% recyclable.
Distributed for the out-of-home consumption channel only, Evian paved the way for new, more sustainable containers.
Today, Chabé is renewing its ecological approach by adopting new plant-based bottles to reduce its carbon footprint.
These new bottles, manufactured by Drop by Drop, are made from FSC®-certified cardboard sourced from responsibly managed forests, guaranteeing an environmentally-friendly approach. The aluminium used in these bottles is also ASI (Aluminium Stewardship Initiative) certified, and its thin layer, eight times thinner than a human hair, preserves the quality of the water without the risk of contamination by microplastics or cardboard taste.
At Chabé, we understand the importance of a customisable customer experience and the impact of visual personalisation. In harmony with our ecological approach, we offer the possibility of personalising these water bottles with the colours of your establishment, your brand or your event. Whether you’re a luxury hotel, an event organiser or a concierge service, you can now associate your visual identity with an environmentally-friendly water bottle solution.
By choosing our plant-based water bottles, you’re demonstrating your commitment to sustainability while offering your clients a personalised experience. Every aspect of this bottle, from the Bonsucro-certified sugarcane caps to the packaging that respects key production indicators, demonstrates our commitment to supporting eco-responsible practices.
Chabé’s move to adopt these plant-based bottles and offer customisation tailored to your needs illustrates our commitment to sustainable innovation and our desire to reduce our carbon footprint.
Together, let’s make every sip of water an opportunity to promote your brand and contribute to a more environmentally friendly future.
Reducing our carbon footprint is a necessity. Chabé is committed to an accelerated transition of its vehicle fleet, adopting less polluting models as they become available. Three new low-carbon models have recently joined the Chabé fleet.
« We’re finding that more and more clients want to travel by environmentally-friendly means, » explained Guillaume Connan, the Group’s Chairman, in an interview in 2022. The numerous journeys made by Chabé customers are a powerful lever for reducing CO2 emissions.
As part of its commitment to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), Chabé is continuing to expand its fleet of low-carbon vehicles. Initiating the transition to a greener fleet by rolling out the electrification of its vehicle fleet has therefore become a priority. That’s why, for several months now, Chabé has been upgrading its vehicles, welcoming the new low-carbon BMW i7, Mercedes EQE and Range Rover P440e.
At the end of 2022, the BMW i7 will join Chabé’s prestige fleet. This all-electric vehicle is powered by an xDrive60 engine. Digital innovation, engineering, aesthetics, comfort and agility are the strengths of this new luxury model. The multi-option version received by Chabé also incorporates a rear screen that offers passengers unrivalled comfort and pleasure on long journeys, thanks to heated and massaging seats.
As part of this drive for a greener fleet, the EQE is the latest 100% electric vehicle to join Chabé. It stands out for its environmental performance and its rethought design. The exterior features high-performance LED headlights and 5-double-spoke alloy wheels, while the interior is equipped with a wireless charging system that makes it easy to charge passengers’ phones. At the rear, the black leather seats are equipped with a heating function and the space benefits from a panoramic sunroof, essential for creating a bright atmosphere.
Finally, in May 2023, Chabé is proud to welcome a new low-carbon vehicle: the Range Rover P440e. Equipped with an A-rated hybrid engine, this luxury car embodies the very essence of a resolute commitment to an eco-responsible fleet. Its sleek, minimalist design gives it a modern, uncluttered look. The interior of the Range Rover is just as carefully thought out and crafted. The space at the rear offers freedom of movement, a plus for working comfortably on your computer, particularly during roadshows or business trips with a private chauffeur. Passengers will also have full control over the entertainment functions of the rear multimedia system. Last but not least, don’t underestimate the importance of light. The panoramic roof helps to create a light, airy and pleasant atmosphere inside the vehicle.
The addition of these three low-carbon vehicles reinforces Chabé’s commitment to CSR. Today, in addition to a young fleet, with an average age of 18 months, low-carbon vehicles (electric, hybrid and hydrogen) represent 52% of the Group’s total fleet.
Chabé understands the stakes behind every journey and is committed to developing a more eco-responsible fleet.

France 3 Ile de France talks about our French expertise in a short report:
Fashion Week, a veritable institution in the world of fashion, is a major event which brings together the greatest designers, models, celebrities and fashion enthusiasts from all over the world. This effervescent period, when cities are transformed into veritable runways, is a must for lovers of trends and glamour!
With just one week to go before the launch of Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, Chabé takes a look back at the history of Fashion Week, its beginnings, organization and development around the world.
Fashion Week offers fashion designers a unique platform to showcase their latest creations and inspirations. Designers often work for months to prepare their collections, drawing inspiration from current trends and the cultural elements of their environment. The fashion shows that take place during Fashion Week are grandiose spectacles of creativity and innovation. The runways are filled with models sporting the latest trends, from the most elegant evening gowns to the trendiest casual outfits.
Fashion Week is in a state of flux, with the arrival of new technologies and new designers, including the eagerly awaited Louis Vuitton Première Collection by Pharrell Williams…
But first, let’s take a look back at the beginnings of fashion week…
Paris is the capital of fashion and creation, but it wasn’t in this city that Fashion Week was conceived and invented, but in New York!
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Charles Worth and Paul Poiret organized a series of sumptuous balls where guests were invited to come dressed in their finest, allowing them to discover their latest creations worn by men and women, an early version of the fashion show.
In 1943, Eleanor Lambert, an influential figure in the fashion industry, launched « Press Week » in New York. This visionary event, held at the Plaza Hotel, brought together only local and national press to promote American fashion and rival the influence of Paris. Press Week laid the foundations for what would become Fashion Week, a concept adopted by cities around the world.

The first official Paris Fashion Week took place in 1973, with the creation of the Fédération Française de la Couture, and the inauguration of a show that would truly revolutionize fashion history!
Dubbed the « Battle of Versailles« , the show, which took place during an event entitled France Amérique, highlighted the tensions between the Paris and New York fashion scenes. To raise funds for the restoration of the Château de Versailles, five French and five American designers presented their collections. On the French side, Yves Saint Laurent, Emanuel Ungaro, Christian Dior (then headed by Marc Bohan), Pierre Cardin and Hubert de Givenchy. On the American side, Anne Klein, Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass and Stephen Burrows took to the runway. This historic confrontation not only captivated the public, it also marked a decisive turning point in the recognition of American fashion and helped redefine the boundaries of the international fashion industry.
Each Fashion Week has its own character and signature, reflecting the essence of the city that hosts it. Paris, the fashion capital, is renowned for its timeless elegance and legendary fashion houses. New York, thanks to the vision of Eleanor Lambert, shines with bold, urban style, showcasing promising young talent.
Milan is famous for its sophisticated allure and incomparable craftsmanship. London, cradle of the avant-garde, stands out for its eccentricity and innovative spirit. Other emerging and surprising cities have also joined the movement, bringing a breath of fresh air to the fashion scene. From the runwayss of Berlin, famous for their audacity and diversity, to the runways of São Paulo, which highlight Latin American culture, each Fashion Week offers a unique experience for participants.
Fashion Week is a long, multi-season cycle that recurs several times a year.
First, Haute Couture Week, which takes place exclusively in Paris in January and July. This is an opportunity for the most prestigious fashion houses to showcase their exquisite, bespoke creations.
Then there’s Men’s Fashion Week. Initially centered on Milan, it has expanded to the four major fashion axes and is held just before Haute Couture Week, in January and July. This week highlights the latest trends and creations in men’s fashion.
Finally, we have Ready-to-wear week. This intense month of fashion shows generally takes place in February/March and September/October. It is dedicated to the presentation of ready-to-wear collections, aimed at a wider public.
The choice of show periods can seem out of phase with the seasons. For example, unveiling winter collections in March and summer collections in September may seem odd. However, this is done to enable the factories to produce the necessary pieces and distribute them to the boutiques in good time.
What’s more, by holding several fashion weeks throughout the year, the industry remains dynamic and can respond to the ever-changing expectations of consumers. These events showcase the latest innovations and support emerging talent, while providing a global showcase for the fashion industry. Fashion Weeks also play an essential role in showcasing new creators, designers and trends.
In addition to showcasing the latest fashion trends, Fashion Week is also an important meeting place for those involved in the fashion industry. Fashion designers, buyers, journalists and influencers gather to share ideas and experiences, discuss current trends and exchange ideas on the future of the fashion industry. Exclusive evenings organized during Fashion Week also offer the opportunity to meet personalities from the world of fashion and celebrity.
Finally, Fashion Week is also an opportunity for the fashion industry to focus on important issues related to sustainability and social responsibility. Fashion designers are increasingly aware of their impact on the environment and society, and are looking to adopt sustainable practices to reduce their ecological and social footprint. Fashion Week therefore offers a unique opportunity for fashion designers to present sustainable and responsible collections, and to raise public awareness of sustainability issues in the fashion industry.
Fashion Week is an essential event for the fashion industry. It gives fashion designers the opportunity to showcase their latest creations, industry players the chance to meet and share ideas, and raise public awareness of sustainability issues in the fashion industry.
It’s a global showcase where trends are created and reinvented. In this effervescent whirlwind, Chabé positions itself as the trusted partner for luxury transportation services at Fashion Weeks. Thanks to its expertise and dedication to offering bespoke solutions, Chabé ensures smooth, comfortable and discreet travel for the industry’s key players, contributing to the success of these prestigious events.

World Environment Day* is the opportunity for the Group to reaffirm its commitment and look back at its latest environmental advances. Electrifying its fleet, raising employee awareness, discover how Chabé has reinforced its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) since 2019.
“We are observing that more and more clients want to travel by environmentally friendly transport“, explained Guillaume Connan, current CEO during an interview in 2022. The many transportation made by Chabé clients make them a powerful lever for reducing CO2 emissions. Starting the transition towards a greener fleet with the deployment of electric vehicles became a priority.
In 2022, Chabé becomes the first French company to take delivery of the EQV, as well as the BMW i7 and Mercedes EQE vehicles, all fully electric.
Today, in addition to a young fleet, with an average age of 18 months, low carbon vehicles (electric, hybrid and hydrogen) represent 52% of the Group’s total fleet, compared with 27% in 2020. This evolution of the Chabé fleet has led to adjustments in terms of infrastructure, with the installation of 13 charging stations, including 4 dual charging stations, as well as an ultra-fast charging stations.
The ambition of a 100% electric fleet may take several years. This is why, in the meantime, the family business wanted to contribute to offsetting its CO2 emissions by financing projects to reduce other emissions and to carry out carbon sequestration. It is in this context that the partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation and Chabé was born.
In this challenge to achieve carbon neutrality, in 2021 the Group joined forces with the GoodPlanet Foundation. The foundation’s main missions are to develop solidarity field projects, raise awareness and helping companies and institutions, always in this environmental dimension.
Through its contribution, Chabé has played a part in the household waste recovery in Cameroon, Togo and Madagascar, the diffusion of solar cookers in Bolivia and the development of new projects Developing Countries (DC) and Least Developed Countries (LDC). These concrete projects have generated positive results, which is a real source of pride for Chabé.
Following this event, the family business makes its commitment concrete by recruiting a new employee dedicated exclusively to its environmental ambitions.
Chabé is continuing its momentum and in 2021 recruits Flora Chaise, the Group’s CSR Manager.
« Creating a full-time CSR manager position in a medium-sized company is already a strong signal. My role is to bring more structure and follow-up to Chabé’s CSR approach. » explains Flora Chaise. The arrival of a new employee specialising in CSR is synonymous with change for the family business. « First of all, we are going to carry out a carbon assessment to better understand Chabé’s major challenges, and establish an action plan based on the results obtained. » adds Flora.
In 2021, Chabé realises its first carbon assessment to evaluate the impact of its activity over the years 2020 and 2021. The aim is to define an action plan to reduce the most significant impacts as a priority.
The Group wants to demonstrate its commitment, not only by monitoring indicators, but also by revisiting its identity, with the creation of a raison d’être.
Confirming its commitment to CSR was essential, this is why, in 2022, Chabé reworked its raison d’être:
This raison d’être has been developed with Chabé’s employees and shareholders in order to share the Group’s vision and role in our society. This redefinition of its identity also defines a line of conduct for the most important decisions.
Finally, it is essential to underline that Chabé’s environmental commitment is not limited to its fleet of vehicles.
All our chauffeurs are trained in eco-driving encouraging smoother driving that helps reduce CO2 emissions. All of our teams implement the recycling of consumables wherever possible, including ink cartridges, washing water, water bottles, etc. In addition, Chabé has innovated by replacing the water bottles made available to its passengers with new, unlabeled Evian bottles, a first in France. These 40cl bottles are made entirely from recycled material and 100% recyclable.
In 2022, Chabé took part in the European Sustainable Development Week, a global event aimed at raising awareness among its employees through various objectives. The family business focused on employees’s awarness by offering them challenges linked to the environmental protection. This initiative confirms Chabé’s position as a responsible employer.
This year, 2023, marks a turning point in the Group’s CSR certification by Ecovadis, a worldwide provider of business sustainability ratings which assesses the sustainability performance.
Chabé has been awarded the silver medal with an overall score of 61 points out of 100, compared with the bronze medal in 2021, placing it in the top 25% of best-performing companies in all business sectors. This achievement underlines Chabé’s progress in CSR performance.
This retrospective marks the constant evolution of Chabé’s CSR commitment. The CSR policy is a real opportunity to create value and give a profound meaning to all the Group’s stakeholders.
The Group’s CSR strategy goes beyond environmental considerations. Chabé is committed to adopt a responsible employer policy, offering long term employment, with 84% of employees on permanent contracts, and investing in their development and career progression through training. The vision is to welcome, recognise and promote all talents in a spirit of inclusion and diversity.
Chabé has a global vision of CSR strategy, driven by an unwavering determination to make a lasting impact.
* Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually on 5 June since 1973, World Environment Day is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world.
Expert in bespoke journeys, Chabé has recently acquired a new generation prestige vehicle. Born from the merger between Mercedes-Benz and the former Louis Vuitton’s Artistic Director, Virgil Abloh, the Mercedes-Maybach S Class S680 completes our luxury fleet.
Redefining luxury was the objective of this cooperation. A unique and futuristic work, the Virgil Abloh combines technological prowess and avant-garde design.
Created by Mercedes-Benz’s customization and craftsmanship team at the Sindelfingen factory, the S-Class is distinguished first by its aesthetics. A two-tone desert harmony of black and sand, a special « Mercedes-Maybach Virgil Abloh » logo, cushions and headrests in Nappa leather, comfort worthy of first-class.
Strictly limited to 150 units, the Mercedes-Maybach pushes the limits of experience. The comfort and space in the back of the vehicle are sufficient for working on your computer, especially during roadshows or business trips with a private chauffeur. There is a fridge to keep your drink cold and for any extras, a bottle of champagne can be provided on request. The highest levels of craftsmanship condensed into one vehicle.
The cooperation with Abloh is just one way in which Mercedes-Maybach stays grounded in innovation and evolution. A unique logo inscribed on the middle of the centre console, black floor mats with sand-coloured leather trim, at this level of prestige, even the smallest details of the S-Class strengthens its luxurious appearance.
At Chabé, we see technology as a means of providing an « enhanced service » to our clients. Two years ago, Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, said in an interview that « the future of mobility will be digital, on the condition that the technology allows us to improve the passenger experience ». This prediction is now coming true. The limited-edition S-Class is equipped with a customised user interface, which presents to the driver an even more luxurious variant of Maybach’s MBUX system. Handpicked visual elements are used to enrich the digital content: from the home button with coloured border to profile pictures decorated with luxurious fashion accessories.
Sometimes a video is worth a thousand words, discover the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach by Virgil Abloh in one minute:
The Mercedes-Maybach by Virgil Abloh can answer your most demanding expectations. Whether it’s a travel service to and from the region’s airports or a tour to discover the city of Paris, the art of French service at Chabé is reflected in its prestigious fleet.
Chabé, expert in bespoke journeys since 1921, is delighted to welcome Joël Chan Thaw as Group Operations Director. With significant experience in the hospitality and premium concierge industries, Joël brings a wealth of expertise in terms of quality management, organization and customer experience. We had the opportunity to speak with him to learn more about his career path, his motivations and his vision for Chabé.
Can you tell us about your previous experiences in the hotel and concierge industry and how that prepared you for your current role at Chabé?
I worked in various French, American and Dutch luxury hotel groups as a revenue management trainee, then in sales roles, before moving into quality as a Quality Manager and reaching the position of General Manager. I also had the opportunity to open two hotels in Paris. After the Covid period, I joined the premium concierge company John Paul, a subsidiary of the Accor group, as Director of Operations. My previous experiences allowed me to develop skills in organization, talent management, customer experience and emotions, skills that are useful in my current role at Chabé.
Why did you join Chabé?
I joined Chabé because it is a century-old family business, expert in its field, in full development and which continues to expand its services offered, its structure, its presence in the world, the customer experience and the management of its talents. I was convinced by the vision of Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, and these exchanges confirmed my desire to join the Chabé family, it was obvious!
What are the main challenges you have encountered since your arrival at Chabé in February 2023 as Group Operations Director?
One of the main challenges I have encountered since my arrival at Chabé is to learn about a new sector, that of transportation. It was therefore important for me to take the time to talk to the various employees, such as chauffeurs, dispatchers, sales representatives, consultants, human resources, project managers, as well as customers. In short, I took the time to immerse myself in the company, by being on the ground and close to the teams and clients, in order to better understand it and thus propose relevant solutions to move the group forward.
How does Chabé work to ensure customer satisfaction and provide an exceptional experience?
Customer satisfaction is a priority at Chabé, and all our employees are committed to this approach. To achieve this, we have redefined the roles and responsibilities of each of our operational departments to be more responsive and have set up a data quality and field quality department. We also offer training to our chauffeurs, focusing on customer experience and emotions, and support our consultants in personalizing their proposals. We believe that the success of a company depends on a clear and precise structure, performance indicators, the development of its employees’ skills and the recruitment of new talent.
How do you see the future of Chabé and what are the upcoming projects for the company?
I am convinced that the future of Chabé is very promising. As Group Operations Director, I am proud to join a company that is a centenary expert in its field, in full development and in constant evolution. Our ambition is to continue to evolve in order to maintain a high level of quality, to satisfy our existing clients and to expand our international presence by opening new branches in the years to come.
In addition, we are investing in innovative technological solutions to improve our service, while maintaining our personalized approach. In addition, we are concerned about environmental issues and offer a fleet of electric vehicles to meet our clients’ expectations.
I am confident that our ambition and commitment to quality and innovation will enable us to maintain our position as an expert in the custom transportation market, thanks in particular to our teams of passionate and experienced professionals who are the cornerstone of our company. We will continue to invest in their training and professional development to maintain our level of excellence and guarantee our clients’ long-term satisfaction.

During the evening of the Gala, a lottery was organized, of which Chabé offered a ride in a rare and exceptional vehicle: the Maybach S680 by Virgil Abloh, the first of the 150 created of this unique model. This exceptional vehicle was designed by Virgil Abloh, fashion designer and artistic director of Louis Vuitton, in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz.
The Maybach S680 by Virgil Abloh is a car that combines luxury and cutting-edge technology, with a white leather interior and black chrome finishes, as well as a powerful engine. It offers an incomparable driving experience and represents the ultimate in automotive luxury.
By providing this opportunity, Chabé was able to offer the lucky winners a unique and memorable experience aboard this exceptional car.
We are proud to participate in prestigious events such as the Golden Keys Gala, which are an opportunity to showcase our know-how and expertise in luxury transportation and to meet our partners.
Three month ago, Chabé expanded its low carbon fleet with brand-new, luxury all-electric BMW i7. The Group was the first chauffeur operator to receive the car in the UK. The Group has now ordered 30 vehicles across the Group, and over the past three months the car has been presented to customers in Paris, London and Monaco.
We asked two of our UK chauffeur team for the first round of feedback. Discover their testimonial below.
Paul Bhamra and Alphonse Kablan
Alphonse : It looks amazing, people have stopped me on the street to check over the vehicle. The ride is exceptionally smooth. Luggage space is great.
It is so easy but still engaging to drive in the different modes.
Paul : Fantastic ride quality, comfort for passengers and chauffeurs… it has real road presence with the front lights in the BMW famous grill shape.
With the overall range, charging is not causing any issues when our day is planned well.
Alphonse : Passenger comfort is amazing and they are all surprised that it’s a fully electric car. The passenger focused technology allows personal involvement with the car even on short journeys – music, temperature, seat position – its quick and easy to operate from the back of the car.
Paul : The ability to interact with the car, including being able to mirror your phone to the digital screen, overall connectivity and seating comfort – are all aspects that receive great feedback for both corporate and hotel guests.
All passengers have mentioned zero emissions and are surprised by the battery range of the vehicle.
In addition, the many passengers comment on how amazingly smooth the ride is.
Alphonse : A great car!
Paul : A game changer!
Chabé is pleased to continue to attend professional tradeshows for luxury chauffeur companies.
The CD/NLA Show is the premier international event for the chauffeured transportation industry organized every year in the US. This event gathers luxury chauffeur companies from around the world.
Chabé regularly attends the show and was pleased to be back this year as well. It was remarkable to see the success the show had with attendees surpassing 2,200. It was impressive to witness the rebounce of the industry globally.
The show took place in Las Vegas from 5 – 8 March and Chabé actively participated in the meetings and discussions on the chauffeured transportation industry specificities and the best ways to serve customers by offering them a tailored and unique experience.
Our team on site included Guillaume Connan, CEO of Chabé, Nivin Salem, International Operations Director, and Eddie Lo, International Account Manager.
Guillaume Connan was one of the guest speakerson at the International Panel Discussion. Our participation focused on Chabé’s international development, the Group’s ability to satisfy growing customers’ needs, especially for large-scale events, as well as on the importance of understanding global complexities and due diligence processes.
Nivin Salem, International Operations Director, says : « We are delighted to have attended the show again this year. The show is a unique occasion for companies around the world to meet face to face. For us, it is a great opportunity to meet with our partners and trusted affiliates. The show exceeded all expectations, with highest attendance figures reached and many countries represented for the first time post pandemic. It was a great occasion to expand our network and forge new successful collaborations. »

Chabé recently acquired a brand-new car that is already a legend: the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 by Virgil Abloh.
The ex-Louis Vuitton US designer has indeed created this unique ultra-luxury model. There are only 150 cars in the world, and Chabé has acquired one of them.
Through this vehicle, Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh sought to redefine and push the boundaries of the customer luxury experience by suggesting a futuristic and ultra-sophisticated vision.
For its part, Chabé continues to meet the most demanding mobility needs of its customers worldwide, with a single mantra in mind: nothing’s impossible.
This 4-seater luxury vehicle redefines the rules of innovative design, with its two-tone colour palette.
While the upper part of the vehicle is lacquered in a glossy obsidian black, the lower part, the flanks, and the special forged rims are painted in a Colorado beige hue.
The four-seat configuration, steering wheel, doors, lower dashboard, and ceiling are lined in black and sand-colored nappa leather. Passengers will enjoy plenty of leg room as well as the integrated panoramic roof.
Design, comfort, technology… each detail of the new Mercedes-Maybach S 680 has been thought out, so that both the chauffeur and the passengers can enjoy a unique experience on board, like a journey suspended in time.
This model promises a unique driving experience and extraordinary adventures for its future passengers.
Are you ready for a new mobility experience? What will be your next adventure?
Digital, international, CSR : Guillaume Connan, CEO of Chabé, looks back on the highlights of 2022 and the Group’s prospects for 2023.
Renewal is the first word which comes to my mind. First, we’ve just ended a period of 2 tough years during which our customers couldn’t travel as they wished. This led to great frustration, and they made up for lost time in 2022. We witnessed a tremendous liberation. Our customers wanted to travel again, even more than before. However, they paid more attention to travel quality and security, and it has clearly benefited us. We experienced record demand for our services wherever we operate.
Renewal again: in 2022, Chabé benefited from initiatives that we had prepared during previous years. Firstly, we focused on our international development, with brand-new foreign subsidiaries and our network expansion. Secondly, we developed our digital strategy, with the implementation of tools aimed to further improve the customer journey. Finally, we continued working on our CSR approach. We have achieved key milestones. For example, our vehicle fleet has been predominantly low carbon since the end of 2022.
Our international development was undoubtedly the greatest success. One year after its opening, Chabé Ltd (our UK subsidiary) has become one of the top local operators and is already recognized as the one offering the best quality of service.
Our affiliate network is now operational in 100 countries and skyrocketed in 2022, with increasing number of key customers using the service to meet their transportation needs wherever they go. Finally, we demonstrated our ability to manage large-scale events everywhere in the world, with a busy line-up that we had never experienced before.
We will carry on developing abroad, with new subsidiaries opening, while strengthening our network and our international events team. We will also develop new digital tools, and we would like to accelerate our CSR commitment.
This is in line with the strategy deployed for three years now. We will also innovate in the customer experience field, with even higher quality of service as our final goal. We are experts in bespoke mobility, and we aspire to assert ourselves as a responsible luxury brand.
