Taxi fare from CDG to Versailles?
My wife and two children will shortly be off on holiday to France, with first port of call being Versaille (SPG Trianon Palace). So, first challenge will be getting there from CDG. I know one can do it by RER, but given that that involves a change, and that they will be tired, with lots of luggage, that does not seem very practical. The obvious solution would be a taxi, but it is a long way, and in some European cities taxi rates are amazing (i.e. high). Can anyone provide guidance on what the range of fares might be CDG-Versaille? Any other options?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks.
I often take a taxi from CDG to a location near Versailles and it costs me from EUR 60 to EUR 100 depending on the traffic. If you are four and have a lot of luggage, you won't probably fit into a standard taxi. You should perhaps pre-order with Taxis G7 (www.taxisg7.com) a car that is large enough. In addition, you can pay with a credit card in the taxi upon arrival at the Trianon.

Two years ago, I used a car service from the Trianon Palace to CDG and was charged EUR 60. You could ask the Trianon if they offer the service from CDG.

Thanks for the advice. My wife and children took a taxi today (Sunday) - fare was 64 Euro. Quote from shuttle company and the hotel were both for 120 Euro, so a regular taxi was the right move.

For others headed to the Westin Trianon Palace-we stayed there in October, and we took the RER out there with a huge load of luggage. The RER is actually quite easy to access with luggage versus the metro, and once you get to Versailles Rive Gauche station, you can wheel it out from there and take a 8 euro cab to the Trianon. A great place to stay, by the way, get a Palace room if you can!

CDG to VERSAILLES taxi vs. RER update this thread
I am debating if to take the RER from CDG to St. Michael and then to Versailles or take a taxi;
Any recent reports of how much is a taxi from CDG to Trianon Versailles Waldorf Hotel?
Anybody knows a great car service at a reasonable price?
If I order a taxi through G7taxi, do they charge extra to wait for me at CDG and then go to Versailles? is it worth ordering a taxi or just walking out of the terminal and take a taxi?
sorry about so many questions.

It's not worth ordering a taxi to meet you. The taxi lines move quickly, and the attendant will help you get a taxi that meets any special requirements you may have (4 people, lots of luggage, need to pay via credit card, etc.)

we rented a car - but were on a layover and sightseeing
we had a 6 hour layover and had never seen it. So we rented a car for a few hours, took our bags and rented a GPS (this was a while ago).
almost missed our return flight, since the GPS was in french and we couldn't figure out how to get back. Parking wasn't very hard in Versailles, and it was an experience.
so, if for a layover rather than a hotel stay near the Palace, consider renting.
