Overview: car trip from Montreux to Paris

As the Alps of Switzerland disappear in the rearview mirror, you can look forward to a trip through the rolling French countryside, past vineyards and orchards as you make your way from Montreux to Paris. Your last glimpses of Switzerland will be Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva and the Vallorbe Caves. Once you enter France, the highways reach out from Paris like spokes on a wheel.

The drive takes about 5 hours and 50 minutes and covers a distance of 340 miles (545 km). With Daytrip, you can make this journey without having any of the stress of driving in one of Europe’s largest cities. Let’s get started!

About Paris

What can be said about Paris that hasn’t been said before? This major Western European capital has impacted wars and nations far outside its borders for nearly a thousand years. It is a political, fashion, and commerce powerhouse that over 2 million people call home.

Even if they weren’t born in Paris, many of the most influential minds have spent years of their lives in Paris. You’ll find priceless art in its museums and legendary structures like the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower on its romantic streets. Come see why Paris is an eternally popular vacation destination and has been the stage for European drama for centuries.

From Montreux to Paris: travel tips

With some preparation, your trip from Montreux to Paris will go off without a hitch. Keep these tips in mind when you’re making your plans!

### Get an early start You have a long day of travel ahead of you! Pack your bags the night before and gather your belongings so you can depart Montreux quickly. ### Keep your phone charged It is about a 6-hour drive to Paris, and once you add in stops, you are looking at a full day of travel. Make sure you have your charging cable and a battery pack nearby so your phone is always ready for spontaneous photo ops, ticket email confirmations, and staying in touch while on the road.

How to get from Montreux to Paris

So you’re planning your great European road trip but don’t know how you’ll get to Paris from Montreux? No worries, we have this trip covered!

### Montreux to Paris with Daytrip’s private car service A private car transfer is the fastest way to get from Montreux to Paris. Your English-speaking private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Montreux and get you to Paris in just under 6 hours, with plenty of options along the way for an excursion to stretch your legs. Deepen your appreciation for France and Switzerland’s natural landscapes and historic towns with a few stops throughout the day. Once your driver gets you safely to Paris, you won’t have to worry about navigating public transit immediately or returning a rental car. You’ll be dropped off directly at your hotel in Paris and even have help with your luggage. Secure your seat for €947. ### Montreux to Paris by bus Flixbus has direct buses to Paris that cost about €62 per passenger, but they are not offered every day. The trip takes about 9 hours. If you plan to travel by bus, you will need to plan and book tickets ahead of time to avoid last-minute disappointment. ### Montreux to Paris by train Traveling by train requires at least one transfer in Geneva or Lausanne. Tickets are €60 to €150, depending on whether you choose economy or first class. The trip takes between 4.5 and 8 hours.

Things to do when you get to Paris

Paris is the kind of city you have to visit again and again, so don’t worry if you don’t get to everything on your list—it’s a great excuse to visit next year. But for your trip from Montreux to Paris, add these hotspots to your itinerary.

### The City of Lights after dark Paris isn’t called the City of Lights for nothing! If you have enough energy left after a full day of sightseeing, go out for a romantic cruise down the Seine River. See the monuments light up at night, and don’t forget the Eiffel Tower has a light show every hour, on the hour, from sunset until the clock strikes midnight. ### See the classics at the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre) What is a trip to Paris without visiting the Louvre? The Louvre is easily the most well-known art gallery in the world and among the biggest. Even if you have visited it before, its extensive collection of art and artifacts keeps people coming back for more. See the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Venus de Milo. Be warned, though—it is popular, so book your tickets early!

When is the best time to visit Paris

While it may sound like a cliché, any time of the year is a great opportunity to visit Paris. It remains a popular destination year-round as it has for centuries. Although, the warmer months tend to draw larger crowds. If you're comfortable in bustling, sunny streets, summer gives you the chance to enjoy Paris' extended daylight and balmy evenings.

Autumn and spring have mild weather and cooler nights, with temperatures ranging from 50 to 68° Fahrenheit (10° to 20° Celsius). During spring, see the blossoming flowers in places like the Luxembourg Gardens and Tuileries Garden. And in the fall, see the same gardens give way to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. For a snug and intimate experience, spend the holiday season in Paris. With an array of museums, indoor events, and Christmas lights in the streets, the chill may go unnoticed amidst the city's warm ambiance.

Questions & Answers about Traveling from Montreux to Paris

Is Paris safe?

Paris is fairly safe for a European capital and incredibly safe compared to American cities. You will need to take all the typical precautions, like keeping an eye on your belongings, avoiding secluded alleys, and being aware of common scams.

Can I use credit cards in Paris?

Yes, most restaurants and shops will accept credit and debit card payments. It is always wise to carry some cash though, just in case you are in a smaller store that doesn’t take cards. France uses the euro. For the best results, only take cash out at ATMs that are attached to banks, not freestanding on the streets.

How do I go from Montreux to Paris?

You have several options for traveling between Montreux and Paris: the train, a bus, or with a private car. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Consider price, timing, and how flexible you’d like your departure and arrival times to be.

What is the cheapest way to get from Montreux to Paris?

A bus is your cheapest mode of transportation from Montreux to Paris. Tickets can cost as little as €56 if booked far enough ahead of time. Check if you qualify for a discounted ticket as a student, person of retirement age, or with a disability.

How long should I stay in Paris?

Paris is infinitely popular and a massive city. Even if you spent a week here, there would still be more to see. Make a list of the main attractions you’d like to see and the events you’d like to go to. From there, make a broad outline and see how many days you’ll need.

Can you take a train from Switzerland to Paris?

Plenty of high-speed trains connect cities all over Switzerland to Paris. While it is always good advice to book your train tickets early, the connections between Switzerland and Paris are quite frequent, and you can usually find a last-minute spot right from the station.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
