Why visit Eu?
What to do in Eu and how to get there without a car? Here is the essential guide, as seen by drivers who travel the route every week.
The town of Eu, a royal residence by the English Channel, boasts an impressive castle and collegiate church. Le Tréport and Mers-les-Bains are just five minutes away: history and the seaside on the same day.
Located in the Seine-Maritime department, about 165 km from Paris and 95 km from Rouen, Eu is perfect for a day trip or a weekend getaway. The town is easy to explore once you arrive: it is the journey there and back in the evening that requires planning.

Getting to Eu without a car: the real options
Eu is not served by any direct train line. Travellers without a car rely on regional buses, whose timetables are based on local needs rather than Parisian trains or flight arrivals. A car with a driver eliminates this final hurdle: you leave at the time you choose and arrive right at the door, luggage included.
Prices start from 215 € for a saloon car to Paris, 260 € 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 clearly works in our favour.
How to get to Eu — and back
Eu is located about 165 km from Paris and 95 km from Rouen, which is a 1 hour 45 minute drive from the capital. In a private car with a driver, the journey is direct, from your address to your hotel, starting from 215 € for a saloon and 260 € for a 7-seater van, price for the entire vehicle.
For airports from Eu, expect 240 € for Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle and 235 € for Orly. On the return journey, the driver will meet you in the arrivals hall with a sign and will monitor your flight in real time.

Taxi, VTC or private shuttle in Eu?
Many travellers look for a “Eu taxi” when what they really need is a price known in advance. The difference is simple: a taxi starts the meter and the amount depends on traffic; a private hire company like Navette Privée provides a quote at the time of booking that remains unchanged, even in the event of traffic jams or a delayed flight.
- Eu Taxi: convenient for short trips in town, variable price, advance booking rarely guaranteed.
- Eu Private Hire (VTC): booking at your chosen time, known driver, confirmed vehicle, fixed price.
- Eu Airport Shuttle: 240 € to Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, 235 € to Orly, 215 € to central Paris in a saloon car, tolls and luggage included.
For an early morning departure, a return trip at night or an Eu – Paris journey with suitcases, the private shuttle is often cheaper than a metered taxi and always less stressful than a train with connections.
