Giverny - Claude Monet's House & Gardens → Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
Giverny to Charles de Gaulle Airport — Private Transfer
The garden gate closes behind you. The Water Lily Pond has been seen. The Japanese Bridge has been photographed from every angle. Monet's yellow dining room, the willow reflections, the wisteria — all of it absorbed, processed, filed somewhere important. And now there is a flight to catch at Charles de Gaulle.
The driving distance from Giverny to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is approximately 59 miles and takes approximately 1 hour 11 minutes. Your Luxberri chauffeur is waiting in the village. The vehicle is ready. CDG is 1 hour and 10 minutes northeast on the A13 and A104. You will make your flight.
That is the Giverny to CDG private transfer in its simplest form — the cleanest, fastest, most direct connection from Monet's garden to your departure terminal. One vehicle. One driver. Fixed price. Everything else handled.
The Route — Giverny to CDG Without Going Through Paris
The geography of this transfer is what makes it so clean. Giverny sits in the Eure department, west of Paris. CDG sits northeast of Paris. Between them, the A13 motorway runs directly east from Vernon through the Seine Valley, and the A104 ring road connects the A13 to the CDG terminal complex without entering central Paris at any point.
The road distance is 58.6 miles from Giverny to Charles de Gaulle Airport — shorter than most travellers expect, and significantly faster than the public transport alternative which requires a bus or shuttle to Vernon, a train from Vernon to Paris Saint-Lazare, a metro connection across Paris to Gare du Nord, and the RER B to CDG. That journey including transfers takes approximately 2 hours 21 minutes — more than twice the private transfer time, with luggage, connections, and the constant risk of a missed train at any link in the chain.
Your Luxberri driver takes you from the garden gate to the CDG arrivals kerb in 1 hour 10 minutes, door to door, with no transfers and no connections.
- Distance: approximately 95 km (59 miles)

- Available every day, including early morning and late evening
The Departure — How Early to Leave Giverny for CDG
This is the question that every visitor in Giverny with a CDG flight asks, and the answer depends entirely on your flight type. Here is the complete guide:
Short-haul Schengen flight from CDG Allow 2 hours at CDG for check-in and security. The journey from Giverny to CDG takes approximately 1h10. Total: depart Giverny at least 3h30 before your flight departure time.
Example: Flight departs CDG at 2pm. Leave Giverny by 10:15am at the latest. To be comfortable, leave by 10am
.
Long-haul international flight — Air France, Delta, United, Air Canada Allow 3 hours at CDG for long-haul check-in, security, and immigration. Depart Giverny at least 4h30 before your flight. For transatlantic departures from Terminal 2E — the busiest and most complex terminal at CDG — allow 5 hours from Giverny to gate.
Example: Transatlantic flight departs CDG at 3pm. Leave Giverny by 9:45am at the latest. Ideally 9:30am.
Peak traffic — summer mornings and Friday afternoons The A13 eastbound from Normandy can slow on Friday afternoons and on summer weekend mornings. July and August are the busiest months. If your flight is on a Friday afternoon or a summer weekend, add 30–45 minutes to your departure calculation from Giverny.
D-Day anniversary week — early June The annual Normandy commemorations bring significantly increased traffic on the roads between Vernon and the Paris ring road. Add 45–60 minutes during anniversary week.
Early morning flights from CDG If your CDG flight departs before 8am and you are staying in Giverny the night before, a 3am, 4am, or 5am pickup from your Giverny hotel is available. The A13 at these hours is completely clear and the journey takes under 1 hour to CDG. Night departures from Giverny for early CDG flights are booked regularly by visitors who prefer one final night in the village over a Paris hotel transition.
The golden rule for Giverny to CDG: do not cut it close. The garden tends to hold people longer than they plan. The last visit to the water garden always takes an extra 20 minutes. Give yourself comfortable time and your driver will have you at your terminal with room to spare.
Pickup From Every Giverny Address
Your Luxberri chauffeur collects from any address in Giverny and the immediate area:
The Fondation Claude Monet entrance 84 Rue Claude Monet — the main entrance and exit of the garden. Your driver waits at the village car park opposite the Fondation entrance. When you are ready to leave the garden, walk to the car park — your driver is there with the vehicle.
Giverny village hotels and gîtes Giverny has a small number of overnight accommodation options in the village. Le Clos Fleuri, La Dîme de Giverny, and various chambres d'hôtes along the Rue Claude Monet and surrounding lanes are all valid pickup addresses. Your driver collects from the door of your accommodation.
Le Jardin des Plumes restaurant 81 Rue Claude Monet — the Michelin-starred restaurant in the village. Visitors finishing a full-day trip with lunch at Le Jardin des Plumes can be collected from the restaurant entrance for a direct CDG transfer.
L'Ancien Hôtel Baudy 81 Rue Claude Monet — the historic inn that hosted Cézanne, Renoir, and Rodin in the 1880s. A regular Luxberri pickup address for visitors finishing a full-day Giverny experience before the airport.
Vernon The market town of Vernon, 5 km from Giverny, has its own hotels and a train station. Visitors staying in Vernon rather than Giverny village can be collected from any Vernon address for a direct CDG transfer. The Château de Bizy, the Collegiate Church, and the riverside promenade are all within walking distance of Vernon's hotels — and your driver collects from the hotel entrance.
Giverny area rentals and private addresses Any private rental, holiday cottage, or gîte in the Giverny, Gasny, Saint-Pierre-d'Autils, or Pressagny-l'Orgueilleux area is a valid Luxberri pickup point for the CDG transfer.
The Last Morning — Combining Giverny and CDG on Departure Day
For visitors whose Normandy trip ends in Giverny, the departure morning offers a genuine choice: rush to CDG with hours to spare, or use the morning well in the garden before a well-timed departure.
Here are the combinations that work depending on your CDG departure time:
CDG flight at 1pm Last garden visit from 9:30am opening to 11am. Depart Giverny by 11am. Arrive CDG by 12:15pm. Check-in for a 1pm short-haul departure is comfortable.
CDG flight at 2pm Last garden visit from 9:30am to 12pm — two and a half hours for a full Fondation circuit. Depart Giverny at noon. Arrive CDG by 1:15pm. Two hours and 45 minutes for check-in, security, and boarding. Comfortable for any Schengen flight.
CDG flight at 3pm — transatlantic A 3pm transatlantic departure from Terminal 2E requires 3 hours at CDG minimum. Depart Giverny by 9:45am. This allows for a brief 15-minute final walk on the village lane before departure — not enough time for the full garden, but enough for a farewell coffee and the exterior of the house from the road.
CDG flight at 5pm or later The most comfortable departure window for Giverny visitors. Enter the garden at 9:30am opening. Full morning and early afternoon in the garden — the Clos Normand, the house, the water garden, lunch at the Hôtel Baudy. Depart Giverny at 2pm. Arrive CDG by 3:15pm. Two hours for long-haul check-in and security — ideal.
CDG flight the following morning — overnight in Giverny The most relaxed option and increasingly popular with serious garden visitors. Stay one night in Giverny — at Le Clos Fleuri or a nearby gîte. Visit the garden for a full day. Leave for CDG at 5am the following morning for an early flight, or at 9am for a midday departure. The early morning departure from Giverny on a clear A13 takes under 1 hour to CDG — the fastest and most reliable timing of all.

Continuing from Giverny — Not Just to CDG
Your Luxberri transfer from Giverny does not have to end at CDG. The same vehicle and driver can take you anywhere in the Paris or Normandy region after your garden visit:
Giverny to a Paris hotel — 1h15 from the garden gate to any Paris hotel. The most popular post-Giverny continuation for day visitors on the full-day itinerary.
Giverny to Honfleur — 45 minutes west on the A13. Visitors combining a Giverny morning with a Honfleur afternoon take the A13 in the opposite direction from CDG — your driver handles either continuation.
Giverny to Rouen — 45 minutes west on the A13. Rouen's Gothic cathedral city is an ideal afternoon continuation from a Giverny morning.
Giverny to Versailles — 45 minutes east, slightly south on the A13. For visitors who want to see both Monet's garden and the Palace of Versailles on the same day, Giverny in the morning and Versailles in the afternoon is entirely feasible with a Luxberri private driver.
Giverny to Bayeux or the D-Day beaches — 2 hours west on the A13 and N13. The full Normandy continuation from a Giverny start.
Tell your driver your full itinerary at booking and they will plan the timing, the route, and the stops around your CDG departure time.
