hello guys. can anyone please check my RER route from Chatelet Les Halles to Champ de Mars. is it correct?

ill be taking RER A from Vald'europe to Chatelet Les Hales and switch to RER B (blue line on map) to St Micheal Notre Dame and upon arriving i will take RER C (yellow line on map) to Champ de Mars.


another question is can i switch from RER A to RER C at Chatelet Les Halles station and travel straight away to Champ de Mars?

Yes, that is correct and no, you can not get line C at Châtelet les Halles. When you switch to RER B at Châtelet les Halles make sure you get RER B in the direction of St. Rémy/Robinson and at St. Michel make sure you get RER C in the direction of Versailles Rive Gauche or château (not Chantiers)/St. Quentin/Pontoise.

However, if you want one less transfer take RER A to Charles de Gaulle Etoile and then take métro line 6 to Trocadéro. You'll have a great view of the tower from here as you walk towards it. It's further from the tower than the RER C stop but the trade-off is one less transfer and the view on approaching the tower is better from Trocadéro too.

The RATP site indicates that the fastest route would be to take RER A to CDG-Etoile, then change to Metro Line 6 to Bir Hakeim. From there, they say, it is a 4 minute walk to Champ de Mars RER station.

Here's a helpful interactive map:

hey guys thanks for the reply!!!

@FrenchMystiqueTours - thanks for your advise.


@MaineGG - dude, thanks for the interactive map.its really useful!!

one more thing guys, ill be staying in Paris for 2 days near the eiffel tower. and my bus to Brussel is at 11.30am in Gallieni station. I need to be there at least 2 hours before the departure time to avoid the hassle.

is my train route from the hotel near eiffel tower to Gallieni is correct?

From Champ de Mars/Pont de alma TO (RER C yellow line) St Micheal Notre Dame.Then from here i will take RER B (blue line on map) to Chatelet Les Halles station. At Chatelet Les Halles station, i will walk to Les Hales metro station and buy tickets and take the metro (line 4 pink color on map) TO Station de Reamur Sebastopol and switch to train line 3 (dark green color on map) to Gallieni metro station.

Can someone please tell me what is the opening hours for RER ticket service counter and when is the first train (RER) runs in the morning?

Or you could take metro line 8 from Ecole Militaire and change at République, depending on exactly where you're staying. Buy your ticket beforehand - you can ask about first trains at the same time.

is it adviseable for me to buy paris transportation ( RER METRO TRAIN) ticket online (paris visite from this http://www.ratp.fr/en/ratp/c_21894/paris-visite/) just in case the ticket counter close.

thanks.

There are schedules on the RATP website as to all runs, including first and last of the day. As I recall, the first RER run is usually around 5:30, but in any case, it certainly would never be a problem if you need to be at some metro station, even if across town, by around 11 am.
