This station was connected to the M1, RER C & E, and the T3b tram, as well as many bus stops. We were able to get around Paris from one of these lines mostly direct or with a transfer. An average wait would be 3-5 minutes. This station is also super clean. It has restrooms you can access with your transportation card. They even have refillable water stations. So convenient. A great stop to stay by to get around the city for travelers.

We used this station a lot, and everything was reliable although nothing flashy. London Underground is much better organized and efficient, but Paris Metro isn't bad.

This train station in Paris, France is one of the seven large mainline railway station terminals…read more Several railway lines have been immortalized in various works of art notably paintings by Monet at the Musee d'Orsay. It is the second busiest train station in Paris after Gare du Nord, handling 100 million passengers a year. The station is quite large so it took me a while to walk from one end to the other to catch my train. This train station makes it easy to get to Giverny to visit the Monet house and garden. It took about 40 minutes. I'm so impressed by the mass transit in France and Europe.

In addition to catching the RER E train, there were multi-levels of shops and stores of various types.

You paid $10 for the ticket, and then they fined €35 for using the "reduced price ticket". The whole metro is so confusing and sometimes you have to tap twice to get into the right station. Their weekly pass is also a scam because it will expire on Saturday night, no matter if you bought on Saturday morning.

Loved the Paris Metro and RER trains. I went everywhere in Paris via RATP and used their online…read morewebsite to get around to various destinations. Also used Apple Maps with it. Are the stations and tunnels old & dingy? Sure. But they do their jobs. It reminded me of the subways in NYC because the trains were so frequent and accessed everywhere I wanted to go. Compared to San Francisco, it was amazing. Just be aware at the Montmartre station, the stairway up goes round and round and round forever. It was never ending, but I was very grateful to not have been one of the many tourists there who were lugging their rolly bags up those never ending steps with them. Some of the agents working in the Metro stations don't speak english, even in the main large stations. Luckily the little station I used for my main departure route had an english speaker and suggested I get a Navigo card since I was staying 2 weeks. It cost 10 euros, you need to get a photo (much smaller than US passport size, and they will cut it down to fit) and they will upload whichever amount pass you want on here - weekly pass is minimum and those are from Monday to Sunday, no matter which day you purchase it on. The Navigo card is good for ten years. Just buy your tickets and keep them on you. The 2 weeks I was there, on three occasions, Metro Police/Officials checked everyone for their tickets. Two times was in the tunnels of I don't remember which stations, once was just before arriving to the Palace of Versailles when they fined a handful of confused tourists and an international american student 35 euros each. A ticket to the Palace of Versailles Rive Gauche station from the Saint-Placide station in the Louvre area was just 4.15 euro. If you're disabled, RATP may be difficult to navigate. They do say they've made many stations disability friendly with escalators and elevators, but it didn't seem that way with many of the stations. They're still working on it. Paris is imo not a friendly place for disabled and wheelchair users. Alas, too old and too many cobblestones. Things that make the city amazing also has its drawbacks and this is one of them.
