Connecting in Paris between Gare de Lyon and Gare du Nord
When travelling from the south of France, you'll need to use public transport to travel between Gare de Lyon and Paris Gare du Nord when changing trains. The journey takes around 30 minutes. Here's what to do:
- When you arrive at Gare de Lyon, buy a ticket at a ticket machine or a ticket desk. If you want to beat the queues, you can also buy a Metro-Train 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).
- Follow signs to RER Line D and board a train towards Orry-la-Ville – Coye, Goussainville or Villiers-le-Bel (Gonesse - Arnouville).
- Get off the train at Paris Gare du Nord.
- Follow signs for Grandes Lignes.
• If you're travelling to Belgium, the Netherlands or Germany, look for the platform your train will depart from on the departures board. Find your platform and be ready to board your Eurostar train at least 10 minutes before departure.
• If you’re travelling on to the UK, follow signs for 'Hall 2/London departures' up to the first-floor mezzanine. Please ensure you get there before the ticket gates close – you’ll need to allow enough time to go through security and passport control.
