Belgium
Brussels for the Grand-Place and the institutions, Bruges for the canals and the old centre. Both are straightforward runs north-east.

People rarely arrive in Paris with a single destination in mind. They arrive with a rough idea — a château, a coastline, a vineyard, a cathedral their grandmother once described — and then spend an evening working out whether it is realistic. This page exists to shorten that evening. Everything below is grouped by region rather than alphabetically, because geography is what actually decides whether two places can sensibly be seen on the same day.
The regions closest to Paris are at the top. Île-de-France and its immediate surroundings hold most of the classic half-day and full-day outings: the palace at Versailles, the forest and château at Fontainebleau, the resort at Marne-la-Vallée, Monet's garden at Giverny. Below that come Champagne to the east, Normandy to the north-west, the Loire Valley to the south-west, and then the wider country and the nearest towns and cities across the border.
Each destination can be approached in two different ways, and it is worth deciding which one you want before you book. A one-way transfer takes you and your luggage from where you are to where you are going, and the chauffeur then leaves. A private day trip keeps the car and the chauffeur with you for the whole day, so you can visit two or three places, keep your bags in the boot and come back to Paris in the evening.
It is worth being plain about this, because a lot of transfer websites pretend otherwise. We do not work from a price list of approved routes. The booking calculator on this page measures the real road distance between the two points you type in, using a routing service, and multiplies it by the rate for the vehicle you choose. That is the whole mechanism.
The practical consequence is that a village, a hotel in the middle of a vineyard, a wedding venue down a farm track or a town nobody has heard of is quoted exactly the same way as Reims or Rouen. If the routing service can find a road to it, the calculator can price it. The pages listed below simply exist for the destinations people ask about most often, where there is something useful to say about the journey.
Two more things are worth knowing before you scroll. Tolls and fuel are already inside the rate, so a motorway-heavy route is not surcharged. And there is no airport supplement, so starting your day at Charles de Gaulle, Orly or Beauvais instead of a Paris hotel changes the distance and nothing else.
The classic outings from the capital, most of them comfortable as a half day or a relaxed full day. Giverny sits just over the boundary into Normandy but belongs here in spirit, because it is an easy run west and is very often combined with something else.
Door to door at Marne-la-Vallée with pushchairs, character luggage and tired children all accounted for.
Disneyland transfers →
The palace, the gardens and the Trianon estate. Note that the château is closed on Mondays.
Versailles transfers →
A royal residence used by French rulers for centuries, set in a forest that is worth the drive on its own.
Fontainebleau transfers →
Château, art collection and the Grandes Écuries, north of Paris and convenient if you are arriving at CDG.
Chantilly transfers →
Monet's house, the flower garden and the water lily pond. The garden opens seasonally, so check the dates.
Giverny transfers →
The seventeenth-century château whose ambition famously outran its owner, and which set the tone for Versailles.
Vaux-le-Vicomte transfers →
A UNESCO-listed medieval town of ramparts, underground galleries and knights' tournaments, 90 km east of Paris and 40 minutes from Disneyland.
Provins transfers →East of Paris, and the region where a chauffeur stops being a luxury and starts being common sense. Tastings and driving do not mix, and the houses are spread across villages that public transport treats as an afterthought.
The cathedral where French kings were crowned, and the chalk cellars of several of the great Champagne houses.
Reims transfers →
The Avenue de Champagne and the cellars beneath it, in the town most people treat as the region's second base.
Épernay transfers →
The smaller growers in the villages between the two towns, where an appointment and a car are both essential.
Champagne transfers →The largest section on this page, and the region we are asked about most. Normandy covers cathedral cities, a chalk coastline, seaside resorts, the landing beaches and an abbey on a tidal island, which is a great deal of variety for one direction of travel.
Timber-framed streets, the great cathedral façade Monet returned to again and again, and the Joan of Arc sites.
Rouen transfers →
The narrow houses around the Vieux Bassin, and the timber church of Sainte-Catherine a street behind them.
Honfleur transfers →
White cliffs, natural arches and a clifftop walk. Genuinely awkward to reach without a car, and simple with one.
Étretat transfers →
The boardwalk, the parasols and the racing. Trouville sits directly across the river if you want both in an afternoon.
Deauville transfers →
The older, plainer half of the pair: a working fish market on the quay, a long sandy beach, and Deauville five minutes away over the bridge.
Trouville transfers →
The abbey on its tidal island. Vehicles stop on the mainland and a shuttle covers the last stretch to the rock.
Mont-Saint-Michel transfers →
William the Conqueror's capital, his castle and his two abbeys, and the Memorial museum that explains the whole of 1944 before you reach the coast.
Caen transfers →
The first town liberated in 1944 and one of the few that came through intact, fifteen minutes from Arromanches and Omaha Beach.
Bayeux transfers →
The cruise port for Paris and a UNESCO-listed post-war city, with the second-largest Impressionist collection in France on the seafront.
Le Havre transfers →
The regional overview, including the towns below and the routes that link them sensibly together.
Normandy transfers →South-west of Paris, and the part of France where the distances between the sights are the whole problem. The châteaux sit in separate towns and villages along the river, connected by country roads rather than by anything resembling a useful timetable.
The largest of the Loire châteaux, its roofline a small town of turrets and chimneys, set in a vast walled estate.
Chambord transfers →
The château built out across the River Cher, and the one most visitors put alongside Chambord in the same day.
Chenonceau transfers →
The regional page, for anyone still deciding which two or three châteaux are worth the drive.
Loire Valley transfers →
The royal chateau where four centuries of architecture meet around one courtyard, and the natural base for Chambord and Cheverny.
Blois transfers →
The capital of the Touraine, with Place Plumereau, Saint-Gatien cathedral and Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau and Chenonceau within easy reach.
Tours transfers →
Joan of Arc's city on the upper Loire, 130 km from Paris and the gateway to the eastern end of the chateaux route.
Orleans transfers →Longer runs, usually booked one way rather than as a return in a day. Some are relocations between cities, some are the first leg of a holiday, and some are simply a more civilised alternative to a station platform with four suitcases.
The cathedral, the Petite France quarter and the canals, on the Rhine at the far eastern edge of the country.
Strasbourg transfers →
The cathedral and its stained glass, south-west of Paris and easily paired with a Loire Valley journey.
Chartres transfers →
The walled port on the Brittany coast, often combined with Mont-Saint-Michel on the way out or back.
Saint-Malo transfers →A number of cities in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland are within a comfortable drive of Paris. They are priced in exactly the same way, on the road distance of the route, and are usually booked as one-way journeys.
London by road, crossing the Channel on the tunnel shuttle or the ferry with the car. Your luggage never leaves the vehicle.
London transfers →Brussels for the Grand-Place and the institutions, Bruges for the canals and the old centre. Both are straightforward runs north-east.
How the pricing works →Amsterdam and Rotterdam, whether you are starting a trip, finishing one or moving between two European offices without a flight.
How the pricing works →Cologne and its cathedral on the Rhine, and Luxembourg City, which sits conveniently on the way east from Paris.
How the pricing works →Geneva, at the western end of the lake and within reach of the Alps, is the destination we are asked for most in this direction.
How the pricing works →Yes. The list above is not a menu of permitted routes. The calculator prices any two points a routing service can connect by road, so a small village, a country hotel or an address in the middle of nowhere is quoted the same way as a major city. Type it in, or send it to us on WhatsApp.
No. Having a page here makes no difference at all to the price. Every journey is road distance multiplied by the rate for the vehicle, with a minimum fare of €85 in the Executive Eco and €150 in the Premium Van VIP, apart from a handful of set-price routes (airports to Paris, Versailles and Disneyland Paris). The destination pages exist because there is something useful to say about those journeys, not because they are priced differently.
Book a transfer if you are going somewhere and staying there, or moving between two places with your luggage. Book a day trip if you want to see something and come back the same day, or visit more than one place, because then the car and the chauffeur stay with you rather than dropping you and leaving.
A short stop on the way — a coffee, a photograph, a quick look at a church — is easy to build into a transfer if you mention it when you book. Anything more than that is really a day trip, because it needs the vehicle to wait rather than continue.
All of them, but geography helps. Charles de Gaulle sits north-east, which makes Champagne and Chantilly natural. Orly sits south, which suits Chartres, Fontainebleau and the Loire Valley. Beauvais sits north-west, which suits Normandy and Amiens. There is no airport supplement, so the only thing that changes is the distance.
Yes, to a number of destinations within a comfortable drive of Paris, including London, Brussels, Bruges, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Cologne and Geneva. They are priced on real road distance like everything else. London involves a Channel crossing with the car, which is quoted separately from the per-kilometre fare.
Check the opening days before you fix your date, because some sites close one day a week — the Château de Versailles, for example, is closed on Mondays — and some gardens and châteaux only open for part of the year. We can drive you on any day of the week, but we cannot open a monument that has decided to stay shut.
The Executive Eco carries up to 4 passengers with 3 large cases, and the Premium Van up to 8 passengers with 7 large cases. For larger groups we can arrange more than one vehicle travelling together.
Enter your pickup point and the place you want to reach. The road distance, the estimated driving time and the price for both vehicles appear immediately, whether or not the destination is listed above.
