We went through Gare du Nord to go to London last month, and EuroStar has actually gotten worse. I suspect this has more to do with Brexit than the train station, but it was not fun waiting in that line. It got extra unfun when my three-year-old told me he was feeling sick, then threw up all over the floor. So you know what, I'm calling it even. Gare du Nord is annoying but useful and gorgeous, and my offspring has now vomited on the floor (I ddi clean it up). I'm also giving myself permission to skip reviewing the Paul stall, where my mom picked up some pretty decent pastries and sandwiches. Three stars, and we'll see each other next time.

This is an especially good suggestion for people that do not speak the language. But today's ticket, we bought online months in advance.

Well we hope, lol. Ambiance - It is a major public train station, so come early if you are not experienced. Crazy busy as expected. Pay to use toilets - 1 Euro. Several floors. Service - Self service in this station as again, we pre-bought our tickets months in advance. Price - 188 Euros to Lyon for two people. $220 USD.

There are signs easily pointing you in the right direction to where you need to go and there is a train station really close to the airport, which is a huge thing for me. There are plenty of food and drink options in the airport as well so you should be able to find something to grab while waiting for a flight. All in all, I've been to this airport a few times and its always a smooth transit.

Where to start with the TGV train…read more First, logistically on the surface it appears to be an amazing option. You fly in, go through customs, get on the train, have a short trip, and you're at Disneyland Paris. But the reality is it's hard to find the train because there's no signage that lists TGV, just signs with a picture of a train, so we walked toward it hoping it was the correct area. The trains themselves also lack signage. So we got on a TGV train at the correct time, in the correct place, thinking it was our train. But we had tickets for a car that wasn't there, so in the end our first class tickets were useless and we sat next to the bathroom. There was no announcement in English so we used Google Maps to confirm we were in fact, in the correct spot, but for a bit we were worried we'd gotten on a random train and had no idea where we were going because there are 0 attendants in the cars to ask. In the train cars the aisles are small and tend to be cramped because a lot of people have luggage that blocks the walkways, so generally the navigating experience simply wasn't pleasant when compared to a bullet train like in Japan. All in all, we don't plan to go back to Disneyland Paris because the transit to the park was so difficult - I generally find Ubers easier (and in this case cheaper) to use - so overall I recommend hiring a private car to take you to and from Disneyland Paris and foregoing the TGV train.

It is the second busiest train station in Paris after Gare du Nord, handling 100 million passengers a year.

My nephew and I had planned a weekend trip to Luxembourg, and this station was the origination of the 2.5 hour high-speed trip, beginning early on a Saturday morning. We came from different places in Paris using Metro, and met up here. The walk from the Metro part of the station to the main central holding area takes a bit of time, with need to closely follow signs pointing to Gare de l'Est. About 24 minutes before the scheduled departure of our train, the platform number came up on the big board. At that point, we used the QR code from our purchased ticket to pass through the security gate of the platform. Then it was a long outdoor walk parallel to the train until one finds the correct car. We left right on-time. We came back to the same station from Luxembourg, and it was a simple matter of reversing direction back to the Metro side of the station to get back to our dorm/hotel.
