RER question
 
I am trying to get to Pontoise and to Chantilly by RER. my hotel is near saint Michele.
now, line C passes by saint Michele Notre dame, and D by Cchalete les halles.
but the timetables I get are all for other stations (mainly Gare du nord even so C1 to pontoise doesn't pass there).
I get a notice that there is no connection when I put the stations near my hotel as departing stations.
can somebody help ?
thanks

Hi skaf,

At www.ratp.fr, when I enter St. Michel as a "station" and Pontoise and Chantilly as "station" I get directions from either St. Michel or St. Michel-Notre Dame.

Have you tried entering the address of your hotel?

Here is one routing given on www.transilien.com

rejoindre à pied l'arrêt "ST MICHEL ND RER B"
de l'arrêt ST MICHEL ND RER B (Paris)
prendre le RER QART direction GARE DE LA PLAINE STADE DE FRANCE
jusqu'à GARE DU NORD RER (Paris)

correspondance de 02 min

de l'arrêt GARE DU NORD RER (Paris)
prendre le RER CIVA - direction GARE DE CREIL
jusqu'à GARE DE CHANTILLY GOUVIEUX (Chantilly)

The 2nd segment is more like a commuter train than the RER, I think - that's how it was for our visit to Provins, which was in zone 8.

found a direct connection on the rapt site from Saint Michele to Pontoise.
on the sncf I have the RER D from Cchatelet les halles to "Chantilly gouvieux", hope it is the right station for the bus to Senile and the castle. thank you.
btw i booked the Eugenie on saint andre des art.

Chantilly-Gouvieux is the right station for the chateau and the bus to Senlis. You can take either the D line of the RER or a SNCF train, both from the Gare du Nord.

I found at 8.39 a RER D direct from CHATELET LES HALLES, direction GARE DE CREIL, that reaches GARE DE CHANTILLY GOUVIEUX at 9.25. sounds good. hope i have it right.
thanks
