Station to Station in Paris

[annavc]

I need to cross Paris soon (having never been there before). I need to get from the Gare du Nord to the Gare Saint Lazare. I know the RER E line is direct but what I can't seem to find out is how much a single ticket costs on this or alternatively how near the stations actually are to each other and how long it would take to walk from one to the other. Any help appreciated.
TIA.

The RATP is the authority that runs ALL public transport in Paris. It has a really good web site that I've just looked up for your very short and simple trip - http://www.ratp.com/. Click on the Union flag for the English version and navigate through the 'Finding your way' section. Put in your departure and arrival points (click on the little dot for station) and it'll come up. There's an RER (Paris suburban ) line that runs from Magenta, right next to Gare du Nord, and will take you in 4 minutes to Saint Lazare.

Superb public transport system - properly managed and not privatised.

Bon voyage,

fare for the "section urbaine" (central Paris) on RER or Metro is Eur1-50.
