For guests staying in Dreux, arriving by train is a simple and affordable option. The train station is conveniently located across the street from the Ibis Hotel, which is walking distance to the Welcome Soirée and also the pickup location for the shuttle to transport guests to and from the Wedding Celebration.

Dreux station: From Gare Montparnasse in Paris, take the N line (Transilien) towards Dreux: approximately 55 minutes.

Trains run hourly, so timing is flexible. We still recommend buying tickets early, as pricing and availability can be variable.

Nonancourt station: There is also a train running directly to the venue, a 13-minute walk from the station to the Château. However, there are only four trains per day, so please check SNCF Connect to plan ahead, buy tickets early, and pay close attention to departure times if you plan to arrive here.

While uncommon, planned labor strikes can sometimes impact the availability of trains. We recommend that you double check train availability in the days leading up to your arrival.

For guests staying outside of Dreux or looking for more freedom to explore the region, renting a car is also recommended. Driving in France is surprisingly easy, with clearly marked roads and highways.

Rental car facilities are available throughout Paris, however we do recommend renting from major train stations or airports outside of the city to avoid substantial city traffic and ensure a reputable location. Unless you plan to drive directly from CDG upon arrival in France, ORY is much closer. From ORY, the drive is approximately 75–90 minutes.

Please check the operating times for the rental facility–hours can be limited depending on the location and on Sundays, in particular.

The Ibis Hotel in Dreux has free parking available, but please verify with your own hotel if you are staying somewhere else.

For guests looking to optimize convenience, taxis, rideshare apps, and cars for hire are also available. Expect around €80–170, depending on your starting location. Uber and Bolt both work well, however, once you are in the area they are far less readily available.

The shuttle bus is the easiest way for guests to arrive. Anyone is welcome to take advantage of the shuttle regardless of where they are staying, but it will depart from the Ibis Hotel in Dreux between 3:30 and 4:00 PM and will have return trips between 12:00 and 4:00 AM. Please indicate that you would like a seat on the shuttle when completing your RSVP.

Guests are welcome to drive themselves. Free public parking is available at Place Alsace Lorraine, a 3-minute walk from the Château entrance. The lot sits near the town center and is well-lit in the evening. From there, follow the Rue de la Madeleine down to the Château gates–it’s a flat, easy walk. View on Google Maps
