Lille to Vimy Ridge Private Transfer
A private chauffeur transfer from Lille Europe to the Canadian National Vimy Memorial takes around 40 minutes by road. There is no practical public transport option to Vimy, and the site already provides free guided tours of the tunnels and trenches, so what you need is a reliable ride, not a paid tour. Full-day hire from 4 hours and return trips with waiting are also available, in a sedan or a Mercedes V-Class in lounge configuration, with your fixed price confirmed on request.
A Reliable Way to Reach Vimy
There is no bus or train route to the Vimy Memorial Park. A private, fixed-price transfer is the practical way to get there, with a chauffeur waiting for you inside Lille Europe.
Confirmed Before You Travel
Agreed in advance, per vehicle, with the Mercedes V-Class priced higher than the sedan for the extra space and comfort. Never adjusted for traffic or delays.
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.
