charonne metro to gare du nord
by SillyWAbbit
hi, i'm going to be in Paris on Sunday for the day, and need to go from the charonne metro station to gare du nord so i can catch the eurostar home.
I have never used the Paris metro before and speak no French beyond a few words and phrases. How easy is it? How long would the jouney take?
Thanks in advance :-)

I don't know how long it would take, but you might buy a Paris Metro map. There you will find your departing station and also Gare du Nord station.
The Metro is easy to use. Buy a ticket and go. At each station and on each car there is a map of the route of that car posted where you can easily see it.
Just look for your stop--even if you have to change trains--you just get off at the correct station and then on to the next line.
If you have a day in Paris, you might practice using the Metro to get to various sites you might want to see. By the time you should leave for Gare du Nord you will feel more comfortable.
It's fun riding the Metro!
Good Luck!

It's easy - it's a smashing system to use.
The Metro lines are numbered and the front of the train or signposts to platforms are referenced by the line number and the end destination of that line.
So, Charonne is on line 9 - you will take the metro, line 9, towards Pont De Sevres.
Get off and change at Oberkampf metro station (3 stops) and get on metro line 5 towards Bobigny/Pablo Picasso ( I think!) - to Gare Du Nord.
But see here too:

I bow to Pedmar's experience (why Republique and not Oberkampf?)
But you get the idea.....

THANKS so much, guys. This really helps a whole lot!! :-)

Just to confuse the issue, I chose "shortest walking distance" on the Metro web site and they said:
Metro #9 at Charonne in the direction of Pont de Sevres to
Station Strasbourg-St. Denis
Change to Metro #4 direction of Porte de Clignancourt to Gare du Nord
In reality, all of these will get you to Gare du Nord since so many lines go through it. The route above should take about 17 minutes including changes.
When you get your Metro ticket, pick up a Metro map for free at the ticket desk. There is also a map inside the train above each door so you can follow your progress. The stations are clearly marked (unlike San Francisco where you have trouble telling which station you are going through). You do not need to be able to speak French at all to use the Metro.

and keep your metro ticket with you the entire trip through the metro until you get to Gare du Nord. The metro police will ticket you if you do not have it on you. They randomly check passengers on trains in the metro. Have a great time, Karl

Thanks again for the help, guys; I really appreciate it.
Pendar, thanks for the heads up! I will use that station to change heading for Gare du Nord.
Cheers, all :-)

visit the Palace of Versailles. This is definitely a day-trip outside of Paris. Don't go on a hot day because the Palace is very poorly ventillated, and human traffic through the rooms is limited to one single file line. (Arrghh!)
Top Of The Eiffel Tower
by cheekymarieh
When we were on our way up to the top of the Eiffel Tower I discovered that my friend was actually frightened of heights! Can you believe that I have known her for 25 years and it took me until then to discover this fact? She managed quite well because you are actually enclosed for the whole time.
Through the year - Christmas
by TheWanderingCamel
At Christmas the Boulevard Haussmann alongside the large department shops is always decorated, and the shop windows of the Galeries Lafayette are a major attraction. There is nearly always a series of puppet shows here, with dolls and mannequins moving to the sound of music, or often conversation...

I Arr: Palais Royal
by Elisabcn
Le Palais Royal (Royal Palace) is in the city center, not far from Louvre, but I have put it on my off the beaten path section because it can only be visited during some special events! But here she is, the blue headed VT reporter ready to visit the unvisitable (uh, my English is getting worse!) for VTers.
Le Palais Royal was built by Cardinal de Richelieu in 1624 who wanted to be not far from Louis XIII living at Louvre. At his death in 1642 it will become a royal property. Since then it will change of royal hands several times: Anne of Austria, who considered the Louvre palace uncomfortable, Henriette-Marie de France, Philippe d’Orleans etc etc etc. Few things remain from this ancient palace, Louis Philippe d’Orleans will order to build new façades and new decoration inside by 1750. This renewed palace will be handed down to his son in 1780 with the condition to keep opened to public the gardens and main courtyard. The palace will suffer other works depending on its new owners’ needs and current aesthetics. Since 1875 it is the headquarter of the Conseil d’Etat, the Ministère des Affaires Culturelles (in the Valois wind) and the Conseil Constitutionnel (in Monpensier wind).
I visited the Palais Royal in one of those rare open days. Nice, yes, full of sculptures, tapestries, historic or allegoric paintings etc etc etc. The rooms that attired my attention were the Assemblée Générale Hall (picture 1) and the Conseil d’Etat’s vice-president office, with a nice Mariannes collection (picture 2). Actually the position of “president” does not exist any more: historically the Conseil d’Etat was ruled by the head of government so nowadays the “vice president” is “the president” (French are very strange).
Only façades and roofs are classified as Historical Monument.
