Hello,
If I stay in Versailles, I will need to get to Paris Gare De Lyon very early on a Sunday for a train to Milan. I would like to get to the station no later than 6:00-6:15 am. My train is at 6:42 and I will be with some elderly family who are slow walkers. Are taxi's readily available in Versailles on an early Sunday morning around 5:00 am or so? It says it will take between a half hour 45 min using maps to go from Versailles Chantiers by taxi to Gare De Lyon. I tried to research trains, but I don't see any at that early. Does anyone know the timing and/or price of a taxi at that early hour?
Thank you

RER-C trains begin departures from Versailles Rive-Gauche station weekdays at 4:30am and Sundays at 5:30 am. That likely is cutting it too close for your timeframe on a Sunday.
If you overnight in Versailles, ask your hotel to arrange a taxi or use Uber for the transfer. At that hour on a Sunday a taxi should cost about €60.

Go to: https://www.g7.fr/en/book-taxi and do a dummy booking for a sense of the price. I have a Taxi G7 account and have booked a taxi from Versailles to central Paris so I suggest downloading their app and using them for the trip.
Edit: Or do as the first person to respond suggested.

Hi Demi,
For such an early morning trip I would either book an Uber in advance, or have your hotel order a taxi for the morning the night before.
I pre-ordered an Uber to get from Bievres (a town near Versailles) to Gare de Est this June. The Uber picked me up at 6;30am. We got there in plenty of time, no problems.
Have a great trip,
Cheryl

Sorry Demi,
I forgot to include the price. My Uber to Gare de l’est was 42 euros.
