We are traveling by train from Strasbourg to Paris and staying in the Marais district. In booking my train travel on captaintrain.com it is showing multiple train stations. Do you guys know the station closest to this area please?
Thanks!

The high-speed TGV trains go to Gare de l'Est. Take the Metro from there to the Marais.

The closest station to the southeastern part of Le Marais Gare de Lyon and the closest station to the northern part is probably Gare de l'Est. But you will probably not have a choice of train station because as the other responder noted the TGVs from Strasbourg arrive at Gare de l'Est.

The way train stations work in Paris is that each serves a particular part of the country. You don't have a choice about where you arrive. e.g. St. Lazare serves Normandy, Bercy the long distance trains from Italy; Nord goes to England, Netherlands, Belgium etc. Apparently Est serves Alsace.

I just tried the website and I don't see multiple stations. All the trains go the Est.

Just choose "Paris". You don't have choice of stations, as already explained above.
If you can prove a more precise location in the Marais we can help you get there from Gare de l'Est. Or, you can just take a taxi.
