Taxi Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport → Périgueux
Airport transfer at a fixed price of €250–€305. 130 km via the A89, into the heart of Périgord.
A taxi between Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport and Périgueux costs between €250 and €305 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 130 kilometres and a journey time of from 85 to 110 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A89, with ~€12 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €395. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Périgueux, prefecture of the Dordogne, is the historic capital of the Périgord Blanc, one of the four Périgords that make up this exceptional territory. The city captivates visitors with its Saint-Front Cathedral, a masterpiece of Romanesque-Byzantine architecture listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage routes. With its five white domes inspired by Venice's Saint Mark's Basilica, it majestically dominates the banks of the Isle river. The medieval old town, with its cobbled lanes, half-timbered houses and Renaissance mansions, invites a timeless stroll. Périgord gastronomy is legendary: the black Périgord truffle, foie gras, duck confit, ceps and Périgord walnuts form one of France's richest culinary heritages. The taxi from Bordeaux Airport is the most practical way to reach the Périgord, especially with luggage or as a family.
