We have taken trains in Europe, but never in Paris. We have zero French. We are travelling on Friday May 17th, leaving Bayeux between 7 and 9 am and arriving in Paris between 10 and 12:00 I have worked out the train options from Bayeux to Paris Gare Lazare. From prior posts, it seems the safest time way to get to Gare du Nord is by the RER train. Here are my questions:
- How difficult is it to figure out how to find the correct RER train to Gare du Nord where we will get a Eurostar?
- Would we be better off in a taxi?
- Should we allow 57 minutes between the trains or 2 hours?
- A related question is how early should we arrive for the Eurostar from Paris to Brussels
