How To Get From Beauvais Airport to Chantilly: Taxi, Train and What to See

Chantilly is a small town north of Paris, best known for its chateau, its gardens and its horses. It is also one of the easiest destinations to reach from Beauvais airport (BVA), roughly 55 km away and usually under an hour by road. If you are landing at Beauvais for a weekend at the chateau or a stay in the Oise countryside, this guide compares your options and suggests how to plan the day.

Beauvais to Chantilly at a glance

Journey times and timetables change. Figures here are typical, so check the operator or our fare calculator before you travel.

Private transfer to Chantilly

A driver meets you at arrivals and takes you to your hotel, to the chateau gates or to your holiday home. Because Beauvais has no direct train to Chantilly, a private ride is the simplest way to avoid a connection through central Paris and back out again.

How the price works

Chantilly is not one of the named destinations in our fare calculator, so we give you a fixed price in advance instead of showing it online. Send us your flight number, the number of passengers and the address, and we confirm the fare before you book. Call or message us on WhatsApp, or use the contact page.

What is included

• One agreed price for the whole vehicle, confirmed before you fly.
• Your flight is followed if you share the number, so a late landing at Beauvais does not add to the fare.
• Baby seat and booster seat included on request. Mention the ages when you book.
• No payment upfront. You settle with the driver at the end, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours ahead.

By train

There is no direct train from Beauvais airport to Chantilly. By public transport you would normally take an airport shuttle towards Paris and then a train north from a Paris station to Chantilly–Gouvieux, which is the station for the town, and then reach the chateau by taxi or on foot. That is a long loop for what is a short distance by road, and it is hard work with luggage. Check the operators for timetables and fares.

What to see in Chantilly

• Château de Chantilly and the Musée Condé: the chateau houses one of France’s finest collections of paintings, strong on French painting and illuminated manuscripts from the 15th and 16th centuries.
• The gardens and park: an estate of around 115 hectares, with gardens laid out by André Le Nôtre.
• The Great Stables: they house the Living Museum of the Horse, and equestrian performances are still held there. Check the official site for the current schedule.
• Racing and lace: the town is known for horse racing, and for whipped cream, which carries its name.

Planning a day trip

Chantilly works well as a day trip because the main sights are close together. Leave early to enjoy the gardens in the morning light, and allow a full day if you want to see the art collection, the stables and the park. Opening days and show times vary through the year, so check the domain’s official site before you plan. If you have an evening flight home from Beauvais, a transfer back leaves you plenty of time, and we can arrange the pick-up when you ask for your quote.

2. Midday: have lunch in the town, which has restaurants close to the Great Stables.
3. Afternoon: visit the Great Stables and the Living Museum of the Horse, and check whether a horse performance is on that day.
4. Late afternoon: a last walk through the park before your driver collects you.

Opening days, show times and ticket options change through the year, so check the domain’s official site before you plan the day.

Why a fixed quote works for Chantilly

Chantilly is a one-off destination for most visitors, which is why it is not a standard route in our calculator. Instead of showing a price that might not fit your plans, we confirm a fixed fare for your exact journey, whether that is a one-way transfer, a return the same day or a transfer with a stop. Send us your flight number and the address by WhatsApp, and you will have a price to approve before you book.

Combining Chantilly with the rest of your trip

Chantilly is about 40 km north of central Paris, in the opposite direction from Disneyland Paris, so it suits a separate day or the first stop on a longer trip. If you are going on to Paris afterwards, see our Beauvais airport to Paris guide. If you are heading to Disney, our Beauvais to Chessy guide has the fixed fares.

Practical tips

• Give us your flight number so we follow the real landing time, which matters with budget flights.
• Tell us the drop-off address, including the entrance if you are going to the chateau.
• Book the return at the same time, and share your departure time so the pick-up fits your check-in deadline.
