RER C vs Private Tour: Getting to Versailles Compared

The Palace of Versailles is one of the most visited sites in France, attracting over 8 million visitors per year. Here’s how the two main options compare.

RER C Train: Paris to Versailles

  • Duration: 30–40 minutes from central Paris to Versailles-Château Rive Gauche station — then a 15-minute walk to the Palace entrance
  • Cost: ~€4 per person each way
  • Comfort: Crowded trains, especially on weekends and during peak season. Standing room only is common
  • Flexibility: Fixed schedules, last train back around 11pm
  • Luggage/strollers: Difficult to manage on crowded trains and platforms

Private Chauffeur Tour: Paris to Versailles

  • Duration: 30–40 minutes door-to-door — your chauffeur picks you up at your hotel
  • Cost: Fixed rate for the vehicle (from €700), not per person — ideal for families and groups
  • Comfort: Air-conditioned Mercedes, bottled water, Wi-Fi. Your chauffeur waits at Versailles all day
  • Flexibility: Leave whenever you want, stay as long as you like, add stops on the way back
  • Drop-off: Directly at the Palace entrance (Place d’Armes) — no walking from the station

Take the RER if: You’re travelling solo on a tight budget and don’t mind crowds.

Choose a private tour if: You’re with family or a group, have young children or elderly travellers, want door-to-door comfort, or want to combine Versailles with other stops.

What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

"We booked a private tour to Versailles for our family of five. The driver picked us up at our hotel in the Marais, drove us straight to the Palace entrance, and waited the entire day. So much better than dealing with the RER with three kids and a stroller. The V-Class was spotless and comfortable."

James T. — Versailles Tour, March 2025

★★★★★

"Perfect day at Versailles thanks to MyDriver Paris. Our chauffeur knew exactly where to drop us off to avoid the crowds, and suggested we visit the Trianon first while the Palace was packed. We extended our tour by 2 hours on the spot — no problem at all. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a stress-free experience."

Sophie M. — Versailles Tour, January 2025

★★★★★

"We combined Versailles with a quick stop at Giverny on the way back. The driver handled everything — timing, routes, parking. For four adults, the cost was comparable to a guided group tour but with complete flexibility and a private Mercedes. Will definitely use MyDriver Paris again."
