They had ticket machines that worked here, so was able to reload my reusable ticket with two more trips (each trip being 2,5€).

As you can probably tell from the name, this station happens to be located next to a bridge. Well,…read moreprobably not unless you are French, or are at least familiar with the french word for bridge (pont). Well, it is a station, which means that you can catch trains from here, and also being Paris, you aren't actually all that far from a metro station (at least in most places), which I have to say is pretty cool.

Well, it turns out that this station is located next to the old city hall. I'm not actually all…read morethat sure if it is still used as the city hall - it has probably moved elsewhere, but it is one of Paris' more famous buildings - well, to the extent that there are so many famous buildings here that it is difficult to know which ones to go and visit, as long, of course, as you don't go and visit the really touristy places. Anyway, yeah, this station is quite handy, especially if you want to check out the Hotel de Ville.

I'm not sure if this is the station that you use to get to Notre-Dame, but based on the name I…read moreguess it it (I thought that there was a station on the island, but I could be wrong). However, leaving that aside, the other thing that I liked was not so much the cathedral, but rather the fountain nearby, which I have to say is pretty impressive. Oh, and there is also quite a few cafews around here, if you are inclined to just sit back and relax, as some are prone to do here in Paris.

I actually hurried down here because despite a wander through the Tulieries being quite a pleasant experience. Anyway, this is a station that pretty much runs from the Louvre all the way up to La Defense, and the Avenue Champs d'Elysee. Like most of the stations on the metro, it isn't all that deep, meaning that getting to the platform is pretty quick.

Took the train in and out of Paris the other day and it was a decent experience. Unlike my last…read morevisit a couple years ago, the train station has cleaned up a ton. I didn't see any gypsies and I did see security and police. There were multiple people at the door with boxes of cigarettes in their hands... Gare du Nord is super convenient as the Metro is directly connected to the station. When leaving Gare du Nord to the UK, there is a separate hall which entails leaving the EU and entering the UK before going through security. The halls were pretty full with numerous shops selling sandwiches and coffee. Seats were scarce and rather a hot commodity.

Fortunatley, we had a disruption with our train back to London, so had to return to the station and security, police, and the military were all there to assist. They made a scary and stressful experience much better by the service and assistance they provided. Everyone was so positive and reassured us we would get to our destinations. The stations itself is breathtaking like the other structures throughout Paris. It is directly connected to the Metro so we didn't have to go far to get to our hotel in Paris. If you need to purchase a metro pass, you can change the language to English by clicking on the British flag. It is fast, easy, and convenient. If you are unsure, you can always ask.
