From Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon

Take RER-B direction St. Remy to the Chatelet les Halles station. Transfer to RER A in the direction of either Chessy-Marne la Vallee or Boissy-St. Leger. It’s just one stop in either direction.

You could also do the Metro to Chatelet les Halles and switch to RER A. Either way works. There are fewer stops on the RER so it’s probably faster. I didn’t check times.

Enjoy your trip. Where are you staying in Burgundy? Lovely countryside!

Many thanks for the info. Actually, we are renting a boat with two other couples and doing a one week canal trip from Migennes to Tannay.

What a lovely trip. Have a good time!

We’ll be near there in September-October but we’re renting a house on dry land.

Happy travels!

Following up on your recommendation, I just looked at the RER map on-line, and looks like RER D goes directly from GduN to GdeL. Is this correct? Would this be easier?

Geez, I missed that one totally. Yes, it would be MUCH easier . . . no transfers. Glad you checked. I do apologize.

I should have looked at the RER map instead of the Metro map. It’s much easier to read . . . not so many lines.

Again, apologies and have a great trip. Are you doing a canal trip in England too?

Not a problem. In England, we’re spending a few days in the Cotswolds and Cornwall, a couple of days in Poole with some friends, and a couple of days in London. After the Burgundy canal trip, we’ll spend eight days in Provence (St. Remy and Tourettes-sur-Loup).

While in St. Remy, be sure to visit Les Baux and if you like Roman ruins, Glanum just outside of town. I think Glanum is free on Sundays. At least it was last Fall.

Sounds like you are going to have a lovely trip. We’re headed to Scotland in April-May and then to France for September-October. We’ll just be in the Loire this time though.

Have a great trip!

Good for you, canal trips are also my favorite. I was wondering where can I hire a canal boat for that…
