It's interesting the way different people look at things...um...differently...lol. I would have never considered the change at Concorde to change again at GSL, but would have looked at my map and immediately opted for the single Clemenceau change and been on my way. Maybe I'm old fashioned too.  |

But AC...you look so MODERN in your avatar!  I have to say that I'm a bit confused after reading all of the directions. |

Ohh thank you, all for your help! I do see now that going one more stop to CE Clemenceau and grabbing the 13 from there to St. Denis is definitely the easier route. I didn't even see that option when I first looked at the metro map! I am so glad I asked and Thank You, Truffaut for the info with regard to the train splitting! I would never have known that! Thank you so much for all of your help - Basilique St. Denis is now officially on my list!

Thanks, luckyluc, for worrying about me! I'm reaching a peak anxiety level here!
If you could please clarify for me: When boarding the RER to go to Versailles and Disney, and leaving from our Louvre-area hotel, do I access the RER by looking for an RER station entrance from street-level, or are they accessed through the metro station entrances?
Thanks!

La Maman d'Or:
In some cases, the entrance to the Metro and the RER will be the same, but in ALL cases, RER entrances are clearly marked as such. The sign may indicate RER and/or Transilien, but there will be a big "R" with a circle around it, and at the bottom it will indicate which line (i.e., A, B, C, et cetera). The signs are at street level, and it will simply depend on which station you board as to whether or not there is a corresponding Metro station attached. Going to Versailles, for instance, if you embark at St Michel-Notre Dame, you will find Metro trains as well. If you start your journey at Invalides, there will only be signs for the RER, as there is no Metro there. Hope that helps.

And if you're already in the (Metro) system, and you change trains to board the RER at a station where both make stops, the signs will be underground in the tunnels for you to follow, with all the regular Correspondance signs. Easy to follow.

Golden, Arrow is right -- it will be very easy to figure out when you're there, so don't stress about it if you can't quite picture it now.
