Distance and route Disneyland Paris → Versailles

The distance is approximately 65km via the A104 (Francilienne) then the A86 and the A13 to the Versailles-Centre exit. The journey takes 1h05 off-peak and until 1h30 during rush hour. Approximately 170 € by taximeter for a one-way ticket.

One way or day pass with waiting?

The complete tour of the estate (Château + Trianon + Hamlet + gardens) lasts 5 to 7 hours. For this type of visit, two options:

• One way ~170 € : we drop you off at Versailles, you manage the return by train (RER C or Transilien N) or new taxi
• Day package on quote : the driver waits for you during the visit, return to Disneyland at the end of the day — between €350 and €450 depending on duration

The package is more economical from 4 passengers and much more practical: no RER waiting, no return stress.

💡 Driver advice

If you visit the Grandes Eaux Musicales on a Saturday, leave early (Disneyland departure 7:30 a.m.) — the A86 west road is saturated from 9 a.m. on Saturday morning. On the other hand, the return at the end of the afternoon (5 p.m.-6 p.m.) remains smooth.
