Getting to Cany-Barville without a car: the reality

Cany-Barville is not served by any direct train lines. Travellers without a car rely on regional buses, the schedules of which are based on local needs rather than Parisian trains or flights. A chauffeur-driven car eliminates this final hurdle: you depart at the time of your choosing and arrive right at the door, luggage included.

Prices start from 235 € for a saloon to Paris, and 285 € for a 7-seater van. The price is fixed and shared between all passengers in the vehicle: for three or four people, comparing this with train tickets and a taxi for the final leg of the journey works out largely in our favour.
