What are the best day trips from Paris with a private driver?
Short answer
Five classics, price per vehicle in an E-Class: Versailles, 40 minutes away (€85 one way); Giverny and Monet's gardens, 1 hour 15 minutes away (€470 for 5 hours); Champagne, 1 hour 30 minutes away (€1,080 for the day); Normandy, from €1,400; Mont-Saint-Michel, €1,650 for the day.
In detail
In every case, the same chauffeur waits for you on site and brings you back to Paris. Versailles and Giverny are booked online, with a chauffeur at disposal by the hour; the Champagne, Normandy and Mont-Saint-Michel days are packages with waiting included, booked through a quote and confirmed in writing before you pay.
Choose by season too: Monet's house in Giverny closes in winter (2026 season from 1 April to 1 November); the major Champagne houses are visited by appointment; at Mont-Saint-Michel, spring tides put on the best show. For Normandy, allow 2 hours 30 minutes to Honfleur, Deauville or Étretat.
The price is the same for 1 or 3 passengers in a saloon; a family or group of up to 7 passengers travels in a V-Class. A guide can be added on a quote.
