Taxi Paris → Compiègne
Your transfer to the imperial palace and forest of Compiègne at a fixed price of €155–€185.
A taxi between Paris and Compiègne costs between €155 and €185 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 80 kilometres and a journey time of from 65 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A1, with ~€7 in tolls (A1). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €245. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Compiègne is the quintessential imperial city, marked by the stays of kings and emperors since the Middle Ages. The Imperial Palace of Compiègne, France's third largest after Versailles and Fontainebleau, was Napoleon III's favourite residence where he organised the 'Séries', sumptuous parties gathering Europe's elite throughout autumn. The palace now houses the Museum of the Second Empire, unique in France, the Empress Museum and the remarkable National Museum of the Car. The 14,500-hectare national forest of Compiègne, with its centuries-old beeches and oaks, is France's third largest. It is crisscrossed by hiking trails, bridleways and forest roads making it a paradise for nature lovers. The Armistice of 11 November 1918 was signed there in the Rethondes clearing, where a memorial and replica of the Armistice wagon perpetuate the memory. Compiègne combines ideally with a visit to Pierrefonds castle, just 14 km away, forming a complete imperial excursion from Paris.
Route
Route Paris → Compiègne
Your TaxiNeo driver picks you up at your Paris address and joins the A1 motorway via Porte de la Chapelle towards Lille. The A1 first crosses the northern suburbs past the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, then the increasingly green landscapes of Picardy. After passing Senlis, you take the 'Compiègne Sud' exit leading directly into town along tree-lined avenues. The palace is in the town centre on Place du Général de Gaulle. Your driver can drop you at the main entrance or anywhere else. The 80 km journey takes about 1h05 under normal conditions. During rush hour, heavy traffic on the A1's Île-de-France section can add 20-30 minutes. An alternative route via the N2 through Senlis avoids A1 congestion while offering a pleasant crossing of Chantilly forest.
