Easiest way (with luggage) from Gare de Lyon to Montmartre

hey hey Lisa
my quality of life means a lot and the best for me is take a taxi. the best euros i would have spent, enjoy ride to hotel, plop down and relax at hotel. (maybe 20E to 30E)

The easiest way would be to take an official Paris taxi straight to your hotel. You’ll be tired and stairs in the metro would be challenging with luggage. I assume there will be taxis at the train station but if not you can use the G7 app to request one.

Besides, by Metro you will have to make a connection at Madelaine from the No 14 to the No 12 line. Added complications.

The Lamarck Caulaincourt metro has an elevator from the platform to the surface. But to get to that metro line you probably have to transfer and that will almost certainly involve stairs. the 14 to Madeleine is itself accessible so the issue is the transfer between the 14 and the 12 at Madeleine. I don't know how many stairs are involved there but if you can manage luggage on a couple of flights of stairs that is a possibility. Otherwise get a taxi from the oficial queue at Gare de Lyon. Make sure the meter is running.

Another vote for a taxi from the rank outside the station.

If you really want to do public transportation you can either do Metro 14 to 12 or Metro 1 to 12 exiting Lamarck - Caulaincourt.
I think this is a perfectly acceptable solution except for the hassle of the luggage in the metro.

It will be 2.5e a person and you'll need to get a Navigo Easy card if you don't already have one or use the app on your phone.
You'll want this if you're going to be Paris anyway but it's better to get one when you're not hassling with luggae.

Google maps works fine for Metro and bus routes in Paris and CityMapper is the next level app if you want more.

Enjoy Paris!

I really think this is a time for a taxi.

Thank you, everyone. Looks like taxi is the preferred option.
