To catch your TGV to your final destination, public transport is a practical way to get from Paris Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon when changing trains. The journey takes around 30 minutes. Here's what to do:

1. When you arrive at Paris Gare du Nord, follow the signs to the RER station located on level -1. Buy a Navigo Easy pass at a ticket machine or a ticket desk. If you want to beat the queues, you can also buy a Metro-Train-RER ticket ahead of your trip using the Île-de-France Mobilités (opens in a new tab) or Bonjour RATP app (opens in a new tab).
2. Follow the signs to RER line D sud (south), and board any RER D train heading south (to Melun, Malesherbes, or Corbeil Essonnes).
3. Get off the train at Gare de Lyon.
4. Follow the signs for 'Grandes Lignes' to get to the mainline station. Look for the platform your train will depart from on the departures board.
5. Board your TGV train to your final destination - boarding starts around 20 minutes before departure and the doors close 2 minutes before.

*The analysis by EcoRes uses average CO₂ emissions per passenger travelling 1km. The calculations used 2022 internal data from the entire Eurostar-Thalys network (annual consumption of traction electricity, number of passengers transported, number of km travelled by these passengers), and CO₂ emission factors attributed to traction electricity produced in the respective countries crossed. For thermal cars, the emissions factor used is average for a combustion-powered car (averaged fuel) on a long-distance journey at 171gCO₂/km considering 2.2 person per car, taken from the ADEME (French Agency for Ecological Transition) Carbon Base. Calculations for the average CO₂ emissions per passenger for flights used combustion emissions from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) calculator, with additional upstream emissions data (WTT) based on DGAC (direction Générale de l’aviation civile) ratio of 22%. Non-CO₂ effects (condensation trails and cirrus clouds) were not taken into account. More information on eurostar.com.​
