Disneyland Paris to Giverny Taxi

Private door-to-door day trip to Monet’s house and water-lily garden in Normandy — no train changes, no shuttle waits.

Fixed at booking ~1h30 · 110 km
Quick answer

A Disneyland Paris to Giverny taxi covers roughly 110 km northwest in about 1 hour 30 minutes each way. Because it is a longer regional run the fare is fixed and confirmed at booking (as a guide, around €180–220 one way for 1–3), with free child seats, tolls included and no meter.

The route to Monet’s garden

Giverny sits about 110 km northwest of Disneyland Paris, just over the border of the Île-de-France in the Eure, on the edge of Normandy. The drive skirts the north of Paris on the motorway network before following the Seine valley toward Vernon, and takes around an hour and a half in normal traffic. It is a genuine excursion rather than a city hop, so we set the fare in advance instead of running a meter — reserve your transfer and we confirm the price before you leave the resort.

Why a private car beats the train here

Giverny is one of the hardest day trips to reach by public transport: there is no station in the village itself. The rail route means an RER into Paris, a change to Gare Saint-Lazare, a mainline train to Vernon and finally a shuttle or taxi for the last few kilometres — easily two to three hours and three or four connections each way. A private car collects you at your Disney hotel door and sets you down at the garden gate, luggage-free, with a driver who can wait and bring you home.

What is included

A private vehicle for your group for the day, tolls paid, an English-speaking driver and free child seats fitted on request. The popular wait-and-return option keeps the car and driver with you while you explore, so there is no rush to catch a return train and no risk of missing the last connection back to Marne-la-Vallée.

How the fare works

Regional day trips are priced as a fixed, all-in figure rather than a per-passenger tariff, because distance, waiting time and any extra stops vary. As a guide a one-way run to Giverny is in the region of €180–220 for one to three passengers, well above the fixed €90 Paris Disney transfer because it reaches deep into Normandy. Give us your date, group size and whether you want wait-and-return, and we lock in one honest quote.

Tips for visiting Giverny

The gardens are seasonal, typically open from spring to early November, with the water lilies and Japanese bridge at their peak in early summer. Arrive at opening time to beat the coach parties, allow two to three hours for the house, the Clos Normand flower garden, the water garden and the Musée des Impressionnismes, and consider adding lunch in nearby Vernon. Because you travel by private car you can leave whenever you like rather than around a train timetable.

Who this trip is for

Art lovers, garden enthusiasts, families with young children and anyone who wants an unhurried Impressionist pilgrimage without the multi-leg train slog. If you would rather visit central Paris landmarks instead, see our fixed-fare Disneyland Paris transfer routes.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi from Disneyland Paris to Giverny?

This is a longer regional day trip of roughly 110 km each way, so the fare is fixed and confirmed at booking rather than metered — as a guide expect around €180–220 one way for 1–3 passengers. For comparison our published Disneyland ↔ Paris city fare is a fixed €90; Giverny is further out in Normandy, so it costs more. Tell us your date and group size and we confirm the exact price up front.

How long is the drive to Giverny?

About 1 hour 30 minutes for the roughly 110 km northwest to Giverny, in the Eure département on the edge of Normandy. Traffic around the Paris ring can add time in rush hour, which is why we leave early for garden trips.

Can the driver wait and bring us back the same day?

Yes — a wait-and-return day hire is the most popular option for Giverny. Your driver stays with the car while you tour Monet’s house, the water-lily garden and the Musée des Impressionnismes, then drives you straight back to your Disney hotel. We price the waiting time into one fixed quote at booking.

Is Giverny open all year?

Monet’s house and gardens are seasonal, usually open from late March or early April to the start of November. The water-lily pond and famous Japanese bridge are at their best from May to July. We can run the trip any day the site is open — just check the season before you book.

Why not just take the train to Giverny?

There is no direct station at Giverny. By train you would ride the RER into Paris, cross to Gare Saint-Lazare, take a mainline train to Vernon, then a seasonal shuttle bus or taxi for the last 7 km — two to three hours and several changes each way. A private car is one door-to-door ride with no connections and no luggage juggling.

Can we combine Giverny with Vernon or Rouen?

Yes. Many guests add lunch in Vernon or continue toward Rouen. Because you have the car and driver for the day, we simply build the extra stops into the itinerary and confirm the fixed fare for the whole route at booking.
