Private shuttle Caen → Orly
Traveling from Caen to Orly airport by train often involves a trip to the station, a connection, and a final taxi upon arrival. Our chauffeur drives you directly from your doorstep, with your luggage, at the time that suits you best.
Navette Privée is a Norman chauffeur-driven car company based in Rouen. We are neither a booking platform nor a call center: you speak directly to the chauffeurs who will handle your journey, and it is us who will drive you, in our own vehicles. Caen, the city of William the Conqueror, is also the gateway to the D-Day landing beaches.
The Caen – Orly route covers approximately 255 kilometers, or 2 h 40 mins of driving time under normal traffic conditions. We cover this route using sedans, 7-seater vans, and 9-seater minibuses, with chauffeurs based in Normandy who are as familiar with the country roads as they are with accessing Parisian terminals and train stations.

Train, bus, or private chauffeur for Caen?
Caen is served by the Caen train station, on the Paris Saint-Lazare – Lisieux – Caen – Cherbourg line. Usually, expect a 1 h 50 to 2 h 15 mins journey from Paris Saint-Lazare. This is a good solution when everything is running smoothly. The station is a twenty-minute walk from the center and far from the coast: Ouistreham, Courseulles, or the D-Day beaches require additional transport.
| Solution | Door-to-door time | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
| Train Paris Saint-Lazare → Caen station | 1 h 50 to 2 h 15 + transfer times | Fixed schedules, luggage to carry, early last departure |
| Regional bus | Often 3 h or more | Few departures, no evening service |
| Private car with chauffeur | 2 h 30 without transfers | Road traffic at peak hours |
Our shuttle takes over when the rail network fails: strikes, track work, cancelled trains, missed connections, night flights, or simply when you are traveling with children, professional equipment, or too many suitcases for a train platform. We pick you up at your address at a time agreed upon together, and we drop you off in Caen without any transfers.
Strike, cancelled train, cancelled bus: our backup solution
A rail strike notice, overhead line failure, public transport protests, or a last-minute cancellation: when the Caen station comes to a standstill, we deploy vehicles on the same day subject to our availability. Call 06 88 14 67 82, provide your latest arrival time, and we will tell you immediately what is possible and at what price.
- Strike day: book the day before if you can, demand peaks between 6 am and 9 am.
- Train cancelled en route: we pick up passengers stranded at intermediate stations.
- Appointments, exams, flights: we align the departure with your essential arrival time, not the other way around.
- Group of colleagues or travelers: 7-seater van or 9-seater minibus, share the cost.
We also monitor flights: if your plane is delayed or diverted, the chauffeur adjusts the pick-up time at no extra cost.
How does the trip work?
The chauffeur arrives at your home in Caen or the surrounding area—house, hotel, gîte, company—a few minutes early, helps you with your luggage, and drives directly to Orly airport. Direct drop-off in front of Orly 1, 2, 3, or 4 for departures; for arrivals, you will be met in the arrivals hall with a sign displaying your name, with real-time flight tracking.
- Book by phone at 06 88 14 67 82 or via the form, indicating your address in Caen, the time, and the number of passengers.
- Receive confirmation with the fixed price, vehicle type, and the chauffeur’s name.
- Chauffeur pick-up on the day at your address, taking you directly to your destination.
- Payment by card on board, cash, bank transfer, or invoice for companies.
For a round trip, book both ways at once: we secure the chauffeur and return time, and you avoid searching for a vehicle when you return.
