Taxi between Gare d'Lest and Gare du Nord

my Gare'd'Lest arrival is 0902. Then depart from Gare du Nord at 1001. Thats only 59 minutes.

Help. Where do I catch the taxi at Gare d'Lest-just walk out from the main entrance?

Once at Gare Du Nord-please give directions how to get to Eurostar train check=in. Thank you!

Forget the taxi! You can walk from Gare de l'Est to Gare du Nord in ten minutes.

The map on this page shows where Eurostar services are located at Gare du Nord. Gare de l'Est doesn't show on the map, but it is southeast of Gare du Nord.

Angie, just to confirm what Tim said, I did the walk in the reverse direction last year. Coming from Gare du Nord, there were signs to Gare de L'Est so I imagine that there would be signs the opposite way. It was about 4 blocks.

To get to Gare du Nord, with luggage it is a ten mins. walk. When you get to end of the train platform, don't go straight out into the main central entrance of Gare de l'Est, instead turn right and you should walk right by the waiting room, once outside on the sidewalk, walk up the stairs..it's little taxing if you're dragging luggage...but you won't be the only one at that time in the morning. When you get to the top of the stairs, go straight...there are signs pointing to Gare du Nord and you can drop into the two hotels there to ask. Those hotels are both two star and three stars; after that Gare du Nord is about 3 blocks on your right hand side.

Once in Gare du Nord the Euro-Star check-in is upstairs, not on the ground floor...signs are everywhere, can't miss it.

If you don't want to walk with all your luggage you may take the Paris Metro (Line 4) direct from inside Gare de L'Est to inside Gare du Nord. It's a lot quicker and easier than walking. (2 minutes).
