Private shuttle Houlgate → Paris
Traveling from Houlgate to Paris by train often involves getting to the station, changing lines, and taking a final taxi upon arrival. Our chauffeur provides a direct journey from your doorstep, with your luggage, at the time that suits you best.
Navette Privée is a Normandy-based chauffeur service, based in Rouen. We are not a booking platform or a call center: you speak directly to the chauffeurs who will be driving, and we perform the service ourselves in our own vehicles. Houlgate is a charming preserved seaside resort, famous for its 19th-century villas and the Vaches Noires cliffs.
The Houlgate – Paris route is approximately 215 kilometres, or 2 h 15 min of driving time excluding heavy traffic. We cover this route in sedans, 7-seater vans, and 9-seater minibuses, with chauffeurs based in Normandy who are just as familiar with the local country roads as they are with access to Parisian terminals and stations.

Train, coach, or chauffeur-driven car for Houlgate?
Houlgate is served by the Houlgate train station (seasonal service) on the Trouville-Deauville – Dives-Cabourg line, with very limited traffic. Normally, allow 2 h 45 to 3 h from Paris Saint-Lazare. It is a good solution when everything runs smoothly. The stop is only served for part of the year: the rest of the time, you must use a coach or a car.
| Solution | Door-to-door time | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
| Train Paris Saint-Lazare → Houlgate station (seasonal) | 2 h 45 to 3 h + local transfers | Fixed schedules, luggage to carry, early last departure |
| Regional coach | Often 3 h or more | Few departures, no evening service |
| Private chauffeur-driven car | 2 h 15 direct | Traffic at peak hours |
Our shuttle takes over when rail services fall short: strikes, engineering works, cancelled trains, missed connections, night flights, or simply when you are traveling with children, professional equipment, or too many suitcases for a station platform. We pick you up at your address, at the time we decide together, and drop you off in Houlgate with no changes.
Strike, train cancellation, bus disruption: our emergency solution
An SNCF strike notice, a power line failure, a social movement on the coach network, or a last-minute cancellation: when Houlgate station (seasonal service) is at a standstill, we deploy vehicles on the same day subject to availability. Call 06 88 14 67 82, tell us 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 a.m. and 9 a.m.
- Train cancelled en route: we pick up passengers stranded at intermediate stations.
- Appointments, exams, flights: we schedule the departure around your required arrival time, not the other way around.
- Group of colleagues or travelers: 7-seater van or 9-seater minibus, the price can be split.
We also track flights: if your flight is delayed or diverted, the chauffeur will adjust the pick-up time at no extra cost.
How does the trip work?
The chauffeur arrives at your door in Houlgate or the surrounding area — house, hotel, gîte, company — a few minutes early, helps you with your luggage, and drives directly to Paris. Upon arrival, the chauffeur drops you off at the exact address of your choice in Paris intramuros — hotel, office, home — or in front of your station (Saint-Lazare, Gare du Nord, Montparnasse). For the return, they will pick you up at the same location at the agreed time.
- Book by phone at 06 88 14 67 82 or using our form, indicating your Houlgate address, time, and number of passengers.
- Receive confirmation with the firm price, vehicle type, and name of your chauffeur.
- Your chauffeur will pick you up on the day at your address and drop you off directly at your destination.
- Pay by card on board, in cash, by bank transfer, or via invoice for companies.
For a round trip, book both ways at once: we secure the chauffeur and the return time, and you avoid the hassle of finding a vehicle when it’s time to return.
