Taxi La Teste-de-Buch → Bordeaux
Your La Teste-de-Buch → Bordeaux transfer at €115–€140. 60 km, through the Landes pine forest to the heart of Bordeaux.
A taxi between La Teste-de-Buch and Bordeaux costs between €115 and €140 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 60 kilometres and a journey time of from 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A660 / A63, with ~€4 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €185. 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.

La Teste-de-Buch is the largest municipality in the Arcachon Bay area, encompassing the famous Dune du Pilat, the upscale Pyla-sur-Mer seaside quarter, the ancient Usagere forest (a communal forest managed under customary rights dating back to the Middle Ages) and Lake Cazaux, France's second-largest natural lake. This municipality of over 27,000 inhabitants is the economic hub of the southern Bay, with its La Teste oyster port, its lively covered market and its commercial zone serving the entire Arcachon Bay. The journey to Bordeaux first crosses the majestic maritime pine forest of the Landes de Gascogne, planted under Napoleon III to drain the Landes marshes, then the vineyards of the Pessac-Leognan appellation, one of the most prestigious on Bordeaux's left bank. Chateau Haut-Brion, the only Premier Cru Classe located within the Bordeaux conurbation, lies on this route. This trip is used daily by Bay residents working in Bordeaux, tourists combining beach stays with city visits, and travellers connecting at Bordeaux Saint-Jean station.
