Transfers between stations in Paris

Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon - These stations are within 2 stops on the RER line and have escalators and lifts at both stations to help with transferring your baggage. However, we would recommend travelling by taxi as a more convenient option.

Gare du Nord to Gare de L'Est - these stations are very close together and should be no more than an easy 10 minute walk. We will provide directions with your travel documents.
