Which is the main train station in Paris?

Situated in the city centre, Gare du Nord is considered the main station in Paris. Catering to over 200 million passengers a year, it’s also the busiest railway station in Europe. Eurostar trains to Paris (from London) arrive at Gare du Nord station. From there, passengers can transfer to a metro, national, or international train for further onward travel.

Which train companies offer trains to Paris?

When travelling from the UK, all trains to Paris are operated by Eurostar, Europe’s best-known international train service. Eurostar provides direct, high-speed trains that reach up to 200mph, getting passengers from St Pancras International to Gare du Nord in as little as two hours and 15 minutes.

Why travel by train to Paris?

Train travel may not be the only way to get to Paris, but it’s certainly one of the best methods. Getting there from London is quick and easy, with trains from St Pancras International arriving in less than two and a half hours. On top of that, a train will arrive right at Gare du Nord in the centre of Paris, as opposed to planes which land further from the city centre. Whilst travelling with Eurostar passengers also benefit from wifi, onboard dining options and a great luggage allowance.

Before you travel to Paris by train - good to know!

Most travellers visit Paris for one of three reasons: great food, great culture, and great landmarks. But don’t just settle for baguettes, bus tours, and the Eiffel Tower. Try eating like a local at smaller restaurants, take a walk through up-and-coming neighbourhoods like Belleville, and visit the various palaces around the city. When travelling between attractions, remember most metro and bus ticket machines only accept cards and coins (no paper bills). To save money, consider the Paris Visite unlimited travel pass. Also, to avoid crowding, try not to use the metro during peak time: from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Trains to Paris

The best way to get to Paris by train is to use the Eurostar service that runs from London St. Pancras station.

One of the busiest train stations in all of Europe, Gare Du Nord is also the main hub for Eurostar trains to Paris. Another one of Paris's largest train stations is the Gare De Lyon which is situated in the south-east region of Paris. From here, high-speed TGV services depart to the south of France, Italy and Switzerland. Close to the centre of the city is the Gare De Bercy train station, which is used by Auto Train, the specialist car ferrying train service. Another station in Paris is the Charles De Gaulle, which is found in Terminal Two at the Charles De Gaulle Airport. This station serves RER and TGV trains which connect travellers to central Paris.
