Who we are
The Fédération Française de la Grande Remise (FFGR) is an association governed by the French law of 1 July 1901. Its members are chauffeurs and chauffeur-hire operators, and it arranges chauffeur-driven travel for its clients through the websites of its network.
FFGR Marseille is its website for Marseille and Provence: transfers, chauffeurs by the hour or day, business and events, from the Corniche to the villages of the Luberon.
The Federation does not operate vehicles itself. It receives requests for chauffeur-driven travel and entrusts them to its members, who carry them out with their vehicles.

Where the name grande remise comes from
In France, grande remise was the name the law gave to high-end chauffeur-driven travel. A decree of 15 July 1955 defined voitures de grande remise as luxury touring cars driven by their owner or the owner’s employee “on terms agreed in advance between the parties”.
The 2009 reform brought that regime to an end: the Act of 22 July 2009 replaced it with the status of voitures de tourisme avec chauffeur, which the Act of 1 October 2014 renamed voitures de transport avec chauffeur: the VTC of today. The Federation keeps the old name, and the idea behind it: a high-end vehicle, a chauffeur, and terms agreed before you set off.

One point of contact from start to finish
From your request to the confirmation voucher, you deal with the Federation, even when your stay combines several journeys, several vehicles, a flight or a day at sea. You do not have to coordinate chauffeurs and operators yourself.
Jet, helicopter, yacht: the operator chosen
On request, the Federation also arranges flights by jet or helicopter, and days out on a yacht. These services are carried out by the operator chosen, under its own responsibility; the Federation acts as an intermediary and answers for the care taken in selecting and vetting that operator. Opening such a file involves a study fee, paid before any work begins, under our terms and conditions; the amount is shown on the file-opening quote. See yacht, helicopter and jet.
