This station was connected to the M1, RER C & E, and the T3b tram, as well as many bus stops. We were able to get around Paris from one of these lines mostly direct or with a transfer. An average wait would be 3-5 minutes. This station is also super clean. It has restrooms you can access with your transportation card. They even have refillable water stations. So convenient. A great stop to stay by to get around the city for travelers.

It is the second busiest train station in Paris after Gare du Nord, handling 100 million passengers a year. The station is quite large so it took me a while to walk from one end to the other to catch my train. This train station makes it easy to get to Giverny to visit the Monet house and garden. It took about 40 minutes. I'm so impressed by the mass transit in France and Europe.

Loved the Paris Metro and RER trains. I went everywhere in Paris via RATP and used their online…read morewebsite to get around to various destinations. Also used Apple Maps with it. Are the stations and tunnels old & dingy? Sure. But they do their jobs. It reminded me of the subways in NYC because the trains were so frequent and accessed everywhere I wanted to go. Compared to San Francisco, it was amazing. Just be aware at the Montmartre station, the stairway up goes round and round and round forever. It was never ending, but I was very grateful to not have been one of the many tourists there who were lugging their rolly bags up those never ending steps with them. Some of the agents working in the Metro stations don't speak english, even in the main large stations. Luckily the little station I used for my main departure route had an english speaker and suggested I get a Navigo card since I was staying 2 weeks. It cost 10 euros, you need to get a photo (much smaller than US passport size, and they will cut it down to fit) and they will upload whichever amount pass you want on here - weekly pass is minimum and those are from Monday to Sunday, no matter which day you purchase it on. The Navigo card is good for ten years. Just buy your tickets and keep them on you. The 2 weeks I was there, on three occasions, Metro Police/Officials checked everyone for their tickets. Two times was in the tunnels of I don't remember which stations, once was just before arriving to the Palace of Versailles when they fined a handful of confused tourists and an international american student 35 euros each. A ticket to the Palace of Versailles Rive Gauche station from the Saint-Placide station in the Louvre area was just 4.15 euro. If you're disabled, RATP may be difficult to navigate. They do say they've made many stations disability friendly with escalators and elevators, but it didn't seem that way with many of the stations. They're still working on it. Paris is imo not a friendly place for disabled and wheelchair users. Alas, too old and too many cobblestones. Things that make the city amazing also has its drawbacks and this is one of them.

Stephane Nancy provided impeccable service throughout our trip. He was highly responsive,…read moreprofessional, and went above and beyond to create a customized Champagne tour that perfectly matched, or exceeded, our expectations. While we booked our own cellar tours, Stephane helped us optimize the itinerary, recommending the best route, timing, and stops to make the most of the day. One of his best suggestions was to visit one cellar in Reims and the other in Épernay rather than staying in a single town. This allowed us to enjoy a scenic drive through the picturesque vineyards, visit the iconic Avenue de Champagne, and stop in Hautvillers, the charming village of Dom Pérignon, where we took in stunning views over the Marne Valley and the surrounding vineyards. Those thoughtful recommendations turned an already exciting day into an unforgettable experience. Stephane also recommended several lunch stop options, including Le Bellevue Restaurant & Bar inside the Royal Champagne Hotel in Champillon (which is the one we selected). It was the perfect choice, with exceptional food and sweeping views over the Champagne vineyards--one of the most memorable meals of our trip. The little touches he added before and during our trip made all the difference. He greeted us with fresh croissants to start the day, and after one of our cellar tours, he surprised us with delicious bakery treats for an afternoon pick-me-up. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel incredibly well taken care of from start to finish. We were so impressed with Stephane's service that both my friend and I immediately booked him again for our airport departures. His local knowledge, professionalism, reliability, and warmth truly set him apart. If you're looking for an outstanding private driver in Paris or the Champagne region, I can't recommend Stephane, or one of his colleagues, highly enough. He played a huge role in making our trip so special. (As a note, I had Mr. Do for my airport drop off because Stephane was already booked for my friend who had to leave earlier than me for the airport. Both of us appreciated the extra guidance both drivers provided to take us into the departure terminal, guide us to the self-service VAT (Value Added Tax) refund kiosks to get us on our way!)
