Private shuttle Cherbourg → Orly
Based in Rouen, we provide the Cherbourg → Orly route every week, seven days a week, from pre-dawn departures to late-night returns, including weekends and public holidays.
Navette Privée is a Normandy-based car service with private chauffeurs, based in Rouen. We are neither a booking platform nor a call center: you speak directly to the chauffeurs who will be driving, and it is us who will take you there in our own vehicles. Cherbourg-en-Cotentin features the largest artificial harbor in Europe and the former Titanic maritime station.
The Cherbourg – Orly journey covers approximately 375 kilometers, or about 3 h 55 of driving time outside of peak traffic. We cover this route using sedans, 7-seater vans, and 9-seater minibuses, with chauffeurs based in Normandy who are as familiar with the local country roads as they are with access to Parisian terminals and stations.

Train, bus, or private chauffeur for Cherbourg?
Cherbourg is served by the Cherbourg train station, on the Paris Saint-Lazare – Caen – Cherbourg line. In normal conditions, count on 3 h to 3 h 30 from Paris Saint-Lazare. It is a good solution when everything runs smoothly. Being a line terminus, if there is an incident upstream, the train is cancelled with no backup plan in the evening.
| Solution | Door-to-door time | Weak points |
|---|---|---|
| Train Paris Saint-Lazare → Cherbourg station | 3 h to 3 h 30 + access trips | Fixed schedules, luggage to carry, early last departure |
| Regional bus | Often 3 h or more | Few departures, no evening service |
| Private car with chauffeur | 3 h 45 without changes | Road traffic during peak hours |
Our shuttle takes over when rail services fail: 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 the time we agree upon, and drop you off in Cherbourg without any changes.
Strike, cancelled train, cancelled bus: our backup solution
A strike notice from SNCF, overhead line failure, public transport industrial action, or last-minute cancellation: when the Cherbourg station comes to a standstill, we put vehicles into circulation on the same day, subject to our availability. Call 06 88 14 67 82, let us know your arrival deadline, and we will tell you immediately what is possible and at what price.
- Strike day: book the day before if you can, demand spikes between 6 am and 9 am.
- Train cancelled mid-journey: we pick up passengers stranded at intermediate stations.
- Appointments, exams, flights: we schedule the departure based on your required arrival time, not the other way around.
- Group of colleagues or travelers: 7-seater van or 9-seater minibus, the cost can be shared.
We also track 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 door in Cherbourg or the surrounding area — home, hotel, gîte, or business — 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, we meet you in the arrivals hall with a sign displaying your name, with real-time flight tracking.
- You book by phone at 06 88 14 67 82 or via the form, indicating your address in Cherbourg, the time, and the number of passengers.
- You receive confirmation with the firm price, the vehicle type, and the chauffeur’s name.
- The chauffeur picks you up on the day at your address and drops you off directly at your destination.
- You pay by card on board, in cash, by bank transfer, or on invoice for companies.
For a round trip, book both directions at once: we lock in the chauffeur and the return time, and you avoid searching for a vehicle when you return.
