Gare de l’Est to Gare du Nord

• It’s a simple 10 minute walk in the Gare de l’Est to the Gare du Nord, in an easier way than using the metro.
• Walk from the end with the platform, turn right across the concourse and go out from the Gare de l’Est side entrance (marked “Sortie rue d’Alsace”)
• Turn right and walk up the long flight of pedestrian steps, using the tracks in to the Gare de l’Est in your right.
• Ignore the initial left turn into the Rue des Deux Gares, but take the second left develop into Rue de Dunkerque. You’ll now begin to see the magnificent facade from the Gare du Nord straight in front of you.
• This may be the quickest and shortest route, but to avoid the long flight of steps, walk out from the Gare de ‘Est and turn all the way down the Rue du 8 Mai 1945. Turn straight into the Boulevard de Magenta then right again to the Boulevard de Denain. The Gare du Nord has become straight in front of you. This route is longer, but gives level access from station for the other.

Gare du Nord to Gare de l’Est

• It’s an easy 10 minute walk in the Gare du Nord towards the Gare de l’Est, much simpler than going only one stop around the metro.
• Walk from the Gare du Nord on the street in front of the station.
• Turn left across the front of the station, and continue straight before you in the Rue de Dunkerque until the tracks leading to the Gare de l’Est stop you going any more.
• Turn straight into the Rue d’Alsace along the tracks, descending the long flight of pedestrian steps to the side entrance of the Gare de l’Est.
• This is the quickest and shortest route, but to prevent the long flight of steps, walk out with the Gare du Nord and over the road in to the Boulevard de Denain straight ahead of you, turn left in to the Boulevard de Magenta, then left again into the Rue du 8 Mai 1945. This route is a bit longer, but gives level access in one station to the other.
