How long from your office
Everyone advertises « one hour from Paris » without saying where from. We measured the drive from the places where our clients' offices actually are, and we publish the whole table, including the lines that do not flatter us.

Drive times calculated outside peak hours in September 2026, then cross-checked on Tuesday 22 September at 5pm, in the middle of the evening rush: La Défense came out at 1h07 and Cergy-Pontoise at 45 minutes, which is our published figures to the minute. Only the routes that cross Paris degrade, and there you should add a quarter of an hour.
Nearest airports: Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle 1h15 by road, Beauvais and Orly further out. Tell us the flight and we arrange the transfer.
By chartered coach
We come and collect your group
With our coach partner we arrange the transport from Paris, Rouen or Caen to the estate, out and back. The coach picks your teams up at the meeting point of your choice and drops them at the château door.
- From 4 to 150 people, depending on the vehicle
- Departures from Paris, Rouen or Caen
- Timings set around your programme
- Quoted on request and added to your proposal
It is the simplest answer for a company party or a large group: everyone arrives and leaves together, with no cars and no car park. And it is the right call if your offices are in the south of Paris, because the coach absorbs the crossing.
Questions about getting here
Are you really an hour from Paris?
Yes from the west and the centre of the city: 1h10 from La Défense, the same from Porte Maillot and Opéra, 1h05 from Levallois or Nanterre, 45 minutes from Cergy-Pontoise. From the south of Paris, allow 1h15 to 1h25.
Can a group come without cars?
Yes. The Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny line is direct and takes 45 minutes, and our shuttle covers the last 15 minutes for 20 € excl. VAT per person return.
Is there enough parking?
35 spaces, which covers a leadership team or a group of around thirty. Above that we organise additional parking on the estate, but we would usually suggest the coach or the train.
Where is the estate exactly?
At Vexin-sur-Epte, in the Eure, on the border between Normandy and the Île-de-France, fifteen minutes from Giverny and from Vernon station.
