We will be on the Rick Steves tour of Paris and are going on our own to Giverny. I know we need to get tickets online ahead of time but so I need to book train tickets to the Vernon train station prior to our trip? We plan on getting there when it opens. Is the shuttle from Vernon hard to get? I do t think we will be riding bikes.

I buy tickets ahead having once missed the train due to lines. But now that the tickets are easily bought with US credit cards from machines you are probably safe buying them at the station that day; just give yourself a little extra time to do it. These are commuter trains without reserved seating so there are always tickets. You can buy tickets on line and make it easy. I like trainline.eu for ease of use.

The shuttle is timed to meet the train. I do believe that cash or card is accepted, but I have read (on this forum?) in the past that when there was a problem with the reader, those with cash made it on the train and those without cash did not, at least not immediately. This info may be a little dated, however. It is 5 euro each way and you can buy the round trip tickets for 10 euro to save time buying for the trip back to the train station.
I know nothing about biking from the station, or where you might rent them. Anyone?
Have fun!
