Lille to Thiepval Private Transfer
A private chauffeur transfer from Lille Europe to the Thiepval Memorial takes around 1h15 to 1h30 by road, direct to the largest Commonwealth war memorial in the world. Beyond a simple one-way transfer, we also offer full-day hire from 4 hours, and return trips with waiting time, in a sedan or a Mercedes V-Class in lounge configuration for groups and families. Your exact fixed price is confirmed on request, and never changes once agreed.
A Reliable Way to Reach the Somme
Whether it's a straightforward one-way transfer or a full day of visits, your price is confirmed on request and never changes once agreed.
Confirmed on Request
Quoted per vehicle before you travel, with the Mercedes V-Class priced higher than the sedan for the extra space and comfort. Never adjusted afterwards.
We Meet You Inside the Station
Your chauffeur waits inside Lille Europe with a LilleCab sign, and confirms the exact meeting point with you before your arrival.
30 to 60 Minutes on Us
30 minutes free from your train's actual arrival, 60 minutes for flights, counted from the real arrival time. This applies as long as you've shared your train or flight number with us when booking.
More Than a One-Way Transfer
Thiepval sits within reach of other Somme sites worth a full day. Beyond a simple transfer, we offer full-day hire and return trips with waiting time built in, so you can move between memorials at your own pace, not the pace of a coach tour.
Tesla Model Y or Mercedes V-Class
The Tesla Model Y, or another equally comfortable premium sedan, suits solo travellers and couples. The Mercedes V-Class suits families and small groups, with extra vans available if yours needs more than one.
