Versailles the easy way — private, door-to-door

Versailles is only about 45 minutes from central Paris, yet the RER train and coach tours turn it into a long, crowded day. With DRIVIGO you have a private chauffeur who picks you up at your hotel, drops you at the palace gates, waits, and brings you home — no queuing for a train with tired feet. Spend your time on the Hall of Mirrors, the State Apartments, the Gardens and the Trianon, and, if you wish, extend the day to Giverny and Monet's House and Gardens. Perfect for a couple, a family, or a client you want to look after.

Your Mercedes and chauffeur are yours alone. No group, no shared schedule, no waiting for a coach to fill up.

Door-to-door

Picked up at your hotel, dropped at the palace gates, collected when you're ready. No RER, no parking, no stress.

Plan your Versailles day trip — good to know

A few practical tips so your private day from Paris runs smoothly.

Closed on Mondays

The Palace opens every day except Monday, roughly 9:00–18:30 (last entry ~18:00). We never schedule a closed day and time your arrival ahead of the crowds.

Skip-the-line tickets

Palace entrance is paid on site; we can arrange timed skip-the-line tickets on request so you walk straight in.

Gardens & fountain shows

The gardens are free most days; on Musical Fountain / Musical Garden days (weekends & holidays, Apr–Oct) a separate ticket applies — worth planning for.

How long to allow

About 4–5 hours for the Palace and main gardens (half-day). Add the Trianon and Marie-Antoinette's hamlet — or Giverny — with the full day.

Add Giverny (Apr–Oct)

Monet's House & Gardens pair beautifully with Versailles on a full day; the site is seasonal, typically April to October.

~45 minutes, door-to-door

From your central-Paris hotel in a Mercedes — no RER, no parking. Comfortable shoes recommended: the estate is vast.

Versailles day trip from Paris — FAQ

Is this a private tour or a group tour?

100% private. The Mercedes and chauffeur are yours alone — no other travellers, no fixed group schedule. You set the timing and the stops.

How much does a private Versailles trip from Paris cost?

From €500 for a private half-day (up to 5 hours) in a Mercedes sedan (up to 3 guests), fuel included, with an English-speaking chauffeur. A full day adding Giverny is from €1,000. Van (up to 7) and Prestige on quote. The price is fixed and confirmed before departure; palace tickets are paid on site.

What days is the Palace of Versailles open?

The Palace is open every day except Monday, typically 9:00–18:30 (last admission around 18:00); the estate and gardens open earlier. We plan your pick-up so you arrive ahead of the crowds — and never on a closed day.

How much time do you need for a Versailles day trip?

Allow about 4–5 hours for the Palace, the Hall of Mirrors and the main gardens (our private half-day). For the Trianon, Marie-Antoinette's hamlet and a relaxed pace — or to add Giverny — choose the full day (up to 10 hours).

How far is Versailles from Paris by car?

About 45 minutes from central Paris in normal traffic. Your chauffeur picks the best departure time to arrive ahead of the biggest crowds.

Do you provide a guide, or skip-the-line tickets?

Your chauffeur is not an in-palace licensed guide, but we can arrange skip-the-line entrance tickets and recommend a licensed guide on request. Inside the palace and gardens you tour at your own pace; your chauffeur waits and drives you between the estate and Paris.

Can we add Giverny and Monet's gardens?

Yes — a full day (up to 10 hours) can combine Versailles in the morning and Giverny in the afternoon (Giverny is seasonal, typically April–October). Tell us and we'll arrange the route.

Is the trip suitable for families or small groups?

Yes. The Mercedes V-Class Van seats up to 7 with luggage, ideal for families and small groups. Child seats are provided free on request.
