Antony station

Hello,

We are planning our first trip to Paris and London at the end of this month (!). We arrive at Orly around 8pm, and are staying at a hotel in Antony before taking the RER B to Gare du Nord to board the Eurostar. I have found lots of information on taking the Orlyval to the RER B by transferring at Antony, but I can't find much information about just taking the RER B from Antony to Gare du Nord. Does anyone know the cost of that ticket? And if there is a manned ticket booth at Antony? (We will be skipping the Orlyval in favor of a taxi for our first evening) We just want to make sure that we can use cash or a swipe credit card to purchase our ticket and aren't stranded!

Thank you for any help provided... I have a feeling I will be asking a lot of (potentially annoying - sorry!) questions before we leave.

We just want to purchase the portion from Antony to Gare du Nord in the morning (we will take a taxi to our hotel in Antony, then wake up and take the train the next day). Does that ticket cost 10 euro, then?

And do you know if there is a manned ticket booth at the Antony station - or if we can purchase the RER B ticket (without Orlyval) at the Orly Airport?

Thank you! Any word on whether or not there is a place where I can buy the tickets with cash or my swipe-only credit card?

My recollection is that EVERY station has a machine where you can buy tickets with cash -- the French ride these trains as well as tourists.

Bon voyage! (You WILL get back to Paris, correct ?)
