Connecting in Paris from Gare du Nord to Gare Montparnasse
To catch your TGV INOUI to your final destination, public transport is a practical way to get from Paris Gare du Nord to Gare Montparnasse when changing trains. The journey takes around 45 minutes. Here's what to do:
- When you arrive at Paris Gare du Nord, follow the M signs to the Paris Métro station located on level -1. Buy a t+ 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 the signs to Métro line 4 and board an M4 train towards Bagneux-Lucie Aubrac.
- Get off the train at Montparnasse-Bienvenüe.
- Follow the signs for 'Gare Montparnasse', and then 'Trains Grandes Lignes'. Once you're at Gare Montparnasse, take a lift or the escalators to the TGV platforms. Look for the platform your train will depart from on the departures board.
- Board your TGV train to your final destination. Boarding starts around 20 minutes before departure and the doors close 2 minutes before.
