Driver prices, per car and per ride
A Paris horse show private driver is priced by where you start. The venue is inside Paris, so a Paris address means the price of a ride within Paris; Roissy or Orly means the airport ↔ Paris transfer. One amount per car, however many children ride, within the seats available. From the suburbs: on request.

Child seats. Up to age 10, French law requires a restraint suited to the child's age, height and weight, and each seat holds one person only. Tell us each child's age: the driver brings an infant carrier, child seat or booster and fits it before you get in. Our seats meet the current standard: approved seats, Isofix or booster depending on age.
Free waiting: 60 minutes at the airport, 30 at the station, 15 at your address or outside the show. Not included: entry tickets.

Getting there without us: metro, tram, bus or car
Public transport. Reach the venue by metro line 12, Porte de Versailles station; line 8, Balard station; tramways T2 and T3a. At Porte de Versailles: exit 1 for Halls 2 to 7, exit 2 for Hall 1. There are also bus 80 (Porte de Versailles stop) and 39 (Desnouettes or Porte d'Issy stops). A Metro-Train-RER ticket costs €2.55 full fare, so €10.20 for four. It is the cheapest option; the trade-off is the journey with a pushchair and tired children.
Car and parking at Porte de Versailles. For 2026, the organiser warns of parking spaces limited in 2026 because of works on the exhibition centre. Leaving the ring road at Porte de Versailles therefore guarantees no space.
| Option | Price per ride | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Metro, family of four | €10.20 | Four full-fare tickets; walking with the children. |
| Your own car | fuel and parking | Limited spaces in 2026. |
| Precelya, sedan | €69 | 3 passengers, seats included. |
| Precelya, 7-seat van | €85 | 7 passengers and the pushchair. |
Precelya prices from an address in Paris. No taxi fare recorded to Porte de Versailles. Access: show website and Viparis; routes: Mappy, without traffic; read on 28 October 2026.
With the family: pushchair, two seats, Sunday exit
A Porte de Versailles family driver is first a matter of seats: for four people the sedan is too small, so book a 7-seat van for this Paris show. Pushchair and bags go in the boot; two children, two seats, no extra charge. The budget: four standard tickets at €20 come to €80, and the van return trip to €170.
On Sunday the show closes at 6 pm and everyone leaves at once. The driver waits at the agreed address, 15 minutes included. Everything about children on board: family private driver.
Riding clubs and stables: one van for the group
An instructor and six riders fit in the V-Class van (€85); for eight, the 8-seat van (€129). More of you: two vans, one request. Invoice in the club's name, 10% VAT included.
Arriving by train? Gare Montparnasse is in the 15th, like the venue; from a main station, see the train station transfer (€90 by van).
Nuits du Cheval: home at 11 pm, same price
The Nuit du Cheval runs from 9 pm to 11 pm on Friday and Saturday. For the ride home the rule holds: "Fixed price confirmed before the ride, unchanged at any hour", so €85 by van to your Paris address.
To be fair, the metro is still an option: according to RATP it runs on Friday and Saturday until about 2:15 am, with line 12 right by the venue. The car helps when the youngest are already asleep.
