Bus connection Paris
 
Please tell me where is Englise Saint Pierre? When I used the Route Planner for our bus journey to the hotel it shows we change buses at this point.
That is taking the No.43 from Gare du Nord and connecting with the 174 to La Defense.
Many thanks!

Which routes are these? I can't find eglise Saint Pierre on google maps.

If the hotel itself is in La Defense, the metro is pretty fast.

There are several St Pierre's in Paris . I think this one might be St Pierre de Montrouge. Personally for that long a journey I'd take the metro, with only 1 change

Hi tod,

Use www.viamichelin.com, www.mappy.com or www.maps.google.com;

You could also find it on the interactive map of the bus lines at www.ratp.fr, IF it existed.

What are your starting and terminal points on the route planner?

Try
http://www.ratp.info/orienter/cv/cartebus.php?lang=uk

that shows the 43 connecting with the 73 at Pont de Neuilly, If you click on the interchange point, you have the option to call up a little streetmap showing where the bus stop is.

There doesn't appear to be a 174.

Oh heck! First let me give you the details:
Arriving Gare de l'Est around 5pm
Need to get to Esplanade La Defense

I would like to do this by bus as we are in no hurry and I can't face all those metro steps with a suitcase that will feel as if it weighs a ton. We find the bus so much better.
OK, about a taxi - that is our last option as it is quite a long journey so will cost$$$.

In the meantime I will go back and try those options -
Thanks!

PatrickLondon , your map shows me a good route and link to the 73 which is perfect as we are only going across the bridge. The pathway up to the hotel is right there and I will google it to see there are no long flights of stairs.

If anyone has a better route or more information I will be greatful.
Many thanks all.
