You’ve just admired the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles — and now you’re dreaming of Mickey Mouse and Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris. Or maybe you’re staying near the park and want to explore Versailles in a single day. Great idea! These two iconic destinations are just 70 km apart, and several transport options connect them. Here’s a clear, up-to-date comparison to help you choose the best way to travel , whether you’re heading to the park or coming back.
1. Public Transport (Train L + RER A)
The cheapest option — but also the longest and most tiring, especially with kids or luggage.
- Route: From Versailles Rive Droite station, take the Line L train toward Saint-Lazare, get off at La Défense, then switch to the RER A toward Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy.
• Cost: €11.30 (standard Île-de-France fare)
• Travel time: 1h45 to 2h15, depending on connections
• Note: Two transfers, limited space for luggage, and crowded trains during peak hours.
Best for: Solo travelers or couples on a tight budget who don’t mind a long journey.
2. Official Taxi
Taxis are available right outside the Palace (Place d’Armes) or at Versailles Rive Droite station.
- Cost: €160 to €200 (higher on weekends and holidays)
• Travel time: 1h15 to 1h45 via A13 → A86 → A4
• Note: Metered fare, child seats not guaranteed, and vehicles may not fit large groups or many suitcases.
Avoid unlicensed drivers offering rides near the palace — they often charge €250 or more with no receipt.
Best for: Travelers who need a ride immediately and don’t mind paying more for convenience.
3. Private Transfer
A driver meets you at your hotel, at the palace entrance, or at the train station — no waiting, no stress.
- Cost: €150 to €180 (fixed price for up to 8 passengers)
• Travel time: 1h15 to 1h30 on the direct route (A13 → A86 → A4)
• Benefits:- Fixed price — includes tolls, traffic delays, and all luggage
- Professional, English-speaking driver (French also available)
- Free child seats or boosters on request
- No hidden fees — you pay exactly what you see online
Best for: Families, groups, or anyone who wants a relaxed, door-to-door experience after a morning of sightseeing.
4. Rental Car
- Disneyland parking: €30/day
• Route: A13 → A86 → A4 (about 70 km)
• Downsides: Heavy traffic, stress after a cultural visit, and total cost adds up (rental + fuel + tolls + parking)
• Tip: Not worth it for a same-day round trip.
Quick Comparison
| Option | Price (2026) | Travel Time | Comfort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public transport | €11.30 | 105–135 min | Low |
| Taxi | €160–200 | 75–105 min | Good |
| Private transfer | €150–180 | 75–90 min | Excellent |
Helpful Tips
- Plan at least 3 hours for a round trip if you want to visit both Versailles and Disneyland in one day.
- Expect delays on the A13 and A86 during school holidays and weekends — traffic can add 30–45 minutes.
- All official Disney hotels (Disneyland Hotel, Newport Bay, etc.) are in Chessy, right at the park entrance.
- A private transfer is often cheaper than a taxi for 3+ people — and far more comfortable than public transport.
- If you’re staying in the region for several days, booking a round-trip transfer saves time and energy.
