Taxi's between Paris train stations

Lynn,

It's difficult to provide a cost estimate for Taxis, as there are a number of factors to consider - which particular stations you're using and their distance apart, time of day, traffic volume at that time, etc.

Even with luggage, my choice would be to use the Metro (which I have done on occasion).

Cheers!

A year ago I took a taxi at 6 am from rue Cler to Gare du Nord. One person with luggage. It cost around 15 Eu. I would expect 20 Euro to cover most trips between train stations.

There are seven train stations in Paris. Which ones are you referring to?

Lynn sent me a PM when I think she meant to post it here:

The two train stations are Paris Est and Paris St Lazare. There is an hour or so between the connections times for the trains I want to take. The first train gets to Paris Est at 9:04 and leaves from Paris St Lazare at 10:10. The next train arrives in Paris St Lazare at 8:58 and leaves Paris Est at 11:24am. Is it like a 10 or 15 minute taxi ride? Thanks

According to the Journey Planner at www.ratp.fr, the Paris transit site, bus #43 goes directly between those stations in ten minutes. It's a four-minute ride on the RER E from Haussmann-St Lazare to Magenta. Of course, in either case you have to allow time to walk from the SNCF stations to either the bus stop or the RER station.

I was traveling with my 28 year old son who really hurt his back just before our trip. He could walk just fine but couldn't lift anything over 5 pounds so cab rides it was! We stayed on the Left Bank and took a cab to Gare du Nord for under 20Euro. Only problem we encountered was a long wait for a cab when we orginally arrived at Gare du Nord from London. My son and I along with a fair portion of the Eurostar were all in line for a cab after arrival. Go ONLY to official taxi stands and avoid like the plague anyone who walks up to you asking in English if you need a cab.
