We will be in Paris next month and wanted to take a day trip to La Roche-Guyon without a car...please advise.

Well the latter doesn't seem to have a train station. I would check with whoever you will be visiting - or the web site of whatever you are going to see - to find the nearest train station, then just look up on bahn.de - it will give you a complete schedule of trains.

You can get a train from Paris to Vernon.

I suggest contacting the office of tourism at Vernon beforehand to see if you can arrange a taxi to take you there and wait while you visit La Roche-Guyon for an hour or two. La Roche-Guyon is tiny.

If you could rent a car, there are some really nice drives in that area.

Thank you...am in the process now of trying to contact the office of tourism in Vernon.

There is bus serv ice between Mantes-la-Jolie (take a train from Paris Saint-Lazare) and la Roche Guyon. It is line 11. I haven't looked at the schedules to see how frequent it runs but here is the schedule if you want to have a look:

Here's some other info about visiting La Roche Guyon from the town's website (the English version seems lacking):

On the above website is info about the Baladobus that runs on Sunday from Mantes-la-Jolie and can be used to tour the region (known as the Vexin region) on Sundays in the summer.

And the tourist office websites:
