Givernon Rental Station

Hire of ordinary and electric bikes, children's bikes and trailers at the exit of Vernon station, 5 km from Monet's gardens.

Givernon hires ordinary and electric bikes, electric scooters, children's bikes and trailers right at the exit of Vernon-Giverny station, where the train from Paris Saint-Lazare stops. The shop, Rental Station, belongs to Givernon Tourisme, which also runs the tourist train between Vernon and Giverny. It holds the Accueil Vélo label, is on the Seine à Vélo route and next to the V33 greenway, and announces that it will soon also hire electric cars.

How it works

You hire by the day or half day, within the shop's opening times, on its website or by phone. The helmet and lock are included, and on hires of more than a day you are given the bike or scooter charger. On request, and free while stocks last, they lend baskets, rucksacks, reflective vests, trouser clips and anti-puncture spray. Baby seats are free and there is a trailer for two children up to 30 kg in total. The e-bikes do about 40 km on the battery, plenty for going to Giverny and back, 5 km away, along the greenway.

It opens every day from April to October, from 9:00 to 19:00, and in October until 18:00. From November to March it only works with groups that book.

Hire conditions

When collecting the bike they may ask for a deposit or an identity document as a guarantee; it is returned at the end, deducting any damage. The equipment must be returned at least 15 minutes before the agreed time, and extending the hire needs their written permission. The customer is responsible for damage and breakages, except hidden defects, and theft and loss are not covered: if your bike is stolen, you must tell them within an hour and file a police report. The conditions require civil liability insurance: check before you travel. The website does not publish cancellation conditions.

Payment, groups and accessibility

At the shop you pay by card, cash, cheque or Apple Pay; online, by card or PayPal. For groups and corporate events, on weekdays or at weekends, ask through the contact form: they can accompany the group and deliver bikes wherever needed. The shop is wheelchair accessible, with a ramp and low counter.

To go to Monet's gardens, leave the station, turn left and the shop is about 20 metres away.
