La Vallée Village from Paris: the Shopping Express shuttle or a private driver for the day?
The short answer
Travelling alone or as a couple, with little to carry, the Shopping Express shuttle wins: €25 per adult for a full-day return, leaving Bercy at 9 am and coming back from the Village at 6:45 pm. From three travellers upwards, with children, bulky shopping or a hotel far from Bercy, a private driver by the hour becomes the practical choice: €216 for the sedan and €264 for the van, for 3 hours and for the whole car.
The shuttle sets the time and the meeting point. The driver leaves from your address when you choose and brings you back when you decide; your bags stay in the boot between two shops. Paris ↔ Serris goes beyond the kilometres included in each hour, so the extra distance is priced into the fare we confirm.

The prices side by side
You pay for the shuttle per person and for the driver per car: that is the whole difference. For the driver, the table multiplies our hourly rate by the length of the booking. The E-Class sedan seats 3 passengers, the guaranteed V-Class van 7.
| Option | Total price | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Shuttle, full day, 1 adult | €25 | Out 9 am, back 6:45 pm |
| Shuttle, full day, 2 adults | €50 | Out 9 am, back 6:45 pm |
| Shuttle, full day, 2 adults and 2 children aged 3 to 11 | €80 | Out 9 am, back 6:45 pm |
| Driver, 3 hours, E-Class sedan | €216 | Your choice, from your address |
| Driver, 3 hours, V-Class van | €264 | Your choice, from your address |
| Driver, 4 hours, E-Class sedan | €288 | Your choice, from your address |
| Driver, 4 hours, V-Class van | €352 | Your choice, from your address |
Each hour with a driver includes 20 km: 60 km for 3 hours, 80 km for 4 hours. The Paris ↔ Serris round trip, twice 41.7 to 49.1 km, goes beyond both: the extra kilometres are priced into the confirmed fare, as for any hourly booking. The driver prices above are therefore a minimum.
What a private driver changes, compared with a taxi or an app
A private driver gives his time to your ride: he takes no ride before yours, prepares and cleans the car, tracks your flight and stands at arrivals holding your name, then helps with the luggage. If the plane lands an hour late, he is still there; if the delay stretches on, he stays or we replace him. The driving is calm and safe. These commitments are written here in black and white; a metered ride or an app estimate carries none of them.
For the price gap shown, you are buying peace of mind: a driver who has only you, a car that is ready, and nobody to look for on arrival.
Why a private driver rather than Uber, Bolt or a taxi: the full answer.
The Shopping Express: one departure, two returns
The shuttle leaves from a single place, the Pullman Paris Bercy hotel, 1 rue de Libourne, Paris 12th, served by metro line 14 at Cour Saint-Émilion. It leaves Paris at 9 am every day; the return is at 2:30 pm for the half day or 6:45 pm for the full day. You must book online at least 2 hours before departure: no tickets are sold on board.
For a solo traveller or a couple staying near Bercy, it is simple and good value; less so from the other side of Paris. The half-day fare (back at 2:30 pm) is shown on the booking page. The Village can also be reached on the RER A.
A driver by the hour: leave at 11 am, come back when you like
The Village describes itself as 40 minutes from Paris. From the 8th arrondissement, Mappy gives 44 to 47 minutes without traffic, toll-free. With 3 hours, about half the time is spent on the road; with 4 hours, more than half is left for shopping. The Village opens from 10 am to 8 pm every day except 25 December and 1 May, with more than 110 shops.
During the hours you book, the car and the driver are yours. You set off from your address when it suits you, at 11 am if your morning is taken. Between two shops the bags go in the boot; the driver waits with the car and does not shop with you. Parking is included.
For a one-way ride, or an outward and return trip at a fixed price without keeping the car, there is no "La Vallée Village" package in our price list: get a price. For reference, on a transfer each hour of waiting beyond the free time costs €72 in the sedan, €88 in the van.
10 minutes from Disneyland Paris
The Village, at 3 cours de la Garonne, 77700 Serris, puts itself 10 minutes from Disneyland Paris on its own page. During a Disney stay, the driver can collect you from a Disney hotel, drop you at the Village and take you back. This ride is not in the price list: price on request. To get to Disneyland from Paris, see the page Paris ↔ Disneyland transfer.
Four of you, with children and bags
For two adults and two children aged 3 to 11, the shuttle costs €80 for a full-day return; under-3s travel free. The driver costs more: with four of you, you need the van, so €264 for 3 hours and €352 for 4, with the extra kilometres to be confirmed.
What the difference buys: no trip to Bercy with the children before 9 am, no day built around the 6:45 pm coach, and a pushchair and the shopping in the boot. An age-appropriate child seat is included, fitted by the driver, at no extra cost; give each child's age in your request.
A driver by the hour, by vehicle
The rate is per hour, for the car and its driver, with a 3-hour minimum and 20 km included per hour. The price is set before departure, unchanged at any hour, with tolls and parking included; cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pick-up. Full details: hourly chauffeur hire in Paris.
