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.

It also has an interesting set of moving orange lights that follow the roof in the middle of the station. I tried watching to see if they had anything to do with the impending arrival of a train, but they didn't seem to. Three exits, none are escalators. The station is a short walk from the east end of Notre Dame and Île-de-France. If you need line 10 this may be better for you than the line 5 Saint Michel - Notre Dame station.

A few days into the trip we used this station more. Flat walking to and from station. Less stairs. Escalator at the Marie exit. All important if you have already walked 10 miles for the day. Purchasing metro tickets are easy. I recommend trying to get them during non rush hour parts of the day. The kiosk is inside downstairs. Use the roller bar to use in English. I recommend the 10 pack. You get a discount and can use them on the metro, bus or tram. It was just under $20. Black line faces up, insert in the end and ticket pops up on top, grab it and pass thru the gate quickly. I downloaded the RATP app to help find lines and connections. Both buses and metros were easy to use.

Well, it isn't to get to the Royal Palace, but that's because it's no longer a royal palace and is now actually an art museum (though I'm not all that sure how many people realise that).

This is an especially good suggestion for people that do not speak the language. But today's ticket, we bought online months in advance. We were told that there was a savings buying early versus the same day, etc. Now that we have been in France for over two weeks, we are experienced and have figured out their bus, train, and metro systems. 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. Owner Comment - Thanks for having affordable and smooth transportation with Inoui to Lyon.
