Why visit Lillebonne?
Lillebonne is a great day-trip destination, whether departing from Rouen or Paris. Here is what you need to see, when to visit, and how to organise your trip without wasting three hours on connections.
Lillebonne is home to the largest Roman theatre in Normandy, located in the heart of ancient Juliobona. A rare historical site, just twenty minutes from Le Havre and the major industrial zones.
Situated in Seine-Maritime, approximately 170 km from Paris and 45 km from Rouen, Lillebonne is ideal for a day trip or a weekend getaway. The town is easy to explore once you arrive: it is the outward journey and the return trip in the evening that require planning.

Travelling to Lillebonne without a car: what are the real options?
Lillebonne is not served by any direct rail line. Travellers without a car depend on regional coaches, whose schedules are based on local needs rather than Parisian trains or flights. A chauffeur-driven car eliminates this final leg: you leave at the time of your choosing and arrive right at the door, luggage included.
Prices start from 220 € by saloon car to Paris, 270 € by 7-seater van. The price is fixed and shared between all passengers in the vehicle: for three or four people, the comparison with train tickets and a taxi for the final leg works heavily in our favour.

Taxi, VTC or private shuttle in Lillebonne?
Many travellers search for a “Lillebonne taxi” when they actually need a price known in advance. The difference is simple: a taxi runs on a meter and the total depends on traffic; a VTC service like Navette Privée provides the price at the time of booking, which remains unchanged even in the event of traffic jams or a delayed flight.
- Lillebonne taxi: practical for short trips in town, variable price, advance booking rarely guaranteed.
- Lillebonne VTC: booking for a chosen time, known driver, confirmed vehicle, fixed price.
- Lillebonne airport shuttle: 245 € to Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, 240 € to Orly, 220 € to central Paris in a saloon car, tolls and luggage included.
For an early morning departure, a return late at night, or a trip from Lillebonne to Paris with suitcases, the private shuttle is often less expensive than a metered taxi and is always less stressful than a train with connections.
