travelling in Paris

Hi, Hope you can help. I%26#39;m coming over for aconceet next Thursday, flying in to Charles de Gaulle about 7pm and then need to get to my hotel in Place de Clichy, Montmartre. Looking at the map would I be best going by train to Gare Du Nord then swapping onto metro? its not clear from the metro map. Really glad of any advice.

I would call the hotel and ask what they suggest. If they suggest the Metro, ask if there is an lift (elevator) or escalator at the station.

Thanks for that good idea about contcating the hotel, not too bothered about stairs/escalators.

If your hotel is located at or near PLACE de CLICHY Metro, it%26#39;s on the #2 Metro ligne. From the RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne arrival platforms of GARE du NORD, you%26#39;ve two options. The first is to make your way up to the Metro portion of the station and make the long CORRESPONDANCE passageways and over to the inter-connected LA CHAPELLE Metro station and take the #2 Metro ligne (heading in the direction of Porte Dauphine to the PLACE DE CLICHY station...or...from GARE du NORD, take the #4 Metro ligne (heading in the direction of Porte de Clignancourt) one(1) stop to BARBÈS-ROCHECHOUART station, then switch over to the #2 Metro ligne (heading in the direction of Porte Dauphine) to PLACE DE CLICHY station.

There%26#39;s also the #54--GABRIEL PERI-METRO/PORTE D%26#39;AUBERVILLIERS Bus Route (heading in the direction of Gabriel Peri)--

thats really helpful, I just couldn%26#39;t see from the metro maps how I could get onto the right line!

thanks a lot

The Montmartre metro%26#39;s are the deepest in Paris and when we were there it there were people struggling to make it up the spiral staircase. In the rest of Paris the stations were one and 2 stories deep, but at Montmartre it seemed like 5 or 6.

Crikey - I see what you mean. I%26#39;ll bear that in mind especially with a suitcase!
