What would be the best Metro line to take from Gare du Nord to St Paul on the # 1 line? Would it be the # 4 or #10, and then connect to the # 1?
Exactly what I would have suggested. Transfer on to Line 1 in the direction of La Defense at Bastille.
Best route is:
Take Line # 5 from Gare du Nord to Bastille, then
Line # 1 to St. Paul. (Only 1 stop away from Bastille)
(This avoids the Chatelet-Les Halles area, which you
want to do at all costs)
Thank you, that was very helpful!
There is some kind of construction work going on at the Bastille stop now. I know Line 1 runs through OK, but there might be other limitations in service.
It's only line # 8 at Bastille that is affected, and that line only up to August 20, 2010.
Does the transfer at Bastille require going up stairs? I know there's an escalator to street level at St. Paul.
