Horrible, dirty, failed experience. Transferring from Norse station, Lazaare was a complete failure. I can in no way tell you how many levels up and down, excessive walking and climbing, NO escalators or elevators were working! At just one stair was 87 steps up with luggage! No elevator or lift. With luggage. We missed our connection by two mins, train still there but would not allow us access. Missed connection, missed tour in Bayeux. We waited in new line to purchase new tickets, which took 57 minutes, barely made next new connection. Take a taxi! It’s worth it. Horrible experience!

Busy, dirty. Several people asking for money. DO not eat at Burger King. Gross, dirty, made us feel sick. Menu in English but misleading. All tables dirty. I would limit your time here,

Gare St Lazare is a very busy station indeed. Not only can you catch trains to the local area but you can also get trains further afield including to Cherbourg.
As well as a railway station there are also alot of shops you can visit. It is almost a shopping mall and when I visited there were plenty of people using these shops.
The station is well connected to the RER and the Metro as well.
When I visited the station was clean and tidy.

Located in the 8th Arrondissement, it is said to be the 3rd busiest station of the six within Paris, we love these old stations they have so much character, this one is massive, and easy to navigate.

It's been modernized and is more friendly to the shopper. But thousands and thousands of people pass through this suburban train station each day going to and from work. And then there are the people headed to the towns in the northwest of France. It is the busiest train station in Paris.

This is a huge station, which is also a stunning one when it comes to its architecture, which is classic and modern, combined.

You can get anything you want here. And the people who work there are so nice. Didn't bother trying to figure out the ticket machines - just walked into the ticket office and everyone spoke perfect English.

Gare St. Lazare is a huge station. We came here several times and felt quite comfortable finding our way around. Its history goes back a long way, to around the early part of the 19th century. It's a beautiful station architecturally and there are many shops inside so you are sure to find something to buy.

Located in the 8th Arr, this is a architecturally beautiful structure, that has a huge square at the front, however it feels very small at peak times, inside is quite open, however being huge allow plenty of time to get to a platform.

Our flight lands at CDG at 10 am and we need to take the train to Bayeux where we will be staying fit the first few days if our trip. There are 2 choices for trains around noon and the next one at around 145 pm, my question is can we make the earlier train or to be safe book the the later one?

Don't buy tickets in advance. When you get to the station (arrive early in case you run into any problems), use the kiosk to print tickets. The policemen in the station are a wonderful resource if you need any help.

Is this the only train station that goes to Bayeux?

Hello as I recall it is a very tiny town not a big metropolitan hub. There may also be a bus or you could Uber quite reasonably.
There were not a lot of train options.

I will need to transfer from St. Lazare to Gard du Nord to catch the Eurostar back to London. How long should I allow on a Friday afternoon to travel from one to the other?

Do the trains to Bayeux run often?

They do run regularly but please check the local websites, we did not and found out at the time we were needing them they were close to strike action which caused delays. I dot know if this is resolved. One day the kisoks were all down no way to pay even staff couldnt help us.
You take a screenshot of the kiosk screen that shows their systems are down carry this with you if an inspector gets on the train, you will not have a fine then. We were able to pay when we got off the train instead of on we pirchased a round trip ticket. The systems when up were only partially so the credit card portion was still having problems.
We had to have exact change, yes change no paper notes. We jad to ask local businesses for change to feed the machine for the tickets, crazy but true be prepared. The 3 days we travelled the kiosks were down more than up rather than abandon your plans be prepared for this.

サン・ラザール駅は、パリ市内の中心部に位置しますので、デパートやスーパーなどがあり、買い物客が大勢います。もちろん、スリには注意は必要ですが、比較的治安は良いと思います。私は、駅前のホテルに5泊しましたが、夜外出しても怖いと思ったことはありませんでした。むしろ、ルーブル近くのメトロの方が治安は悪いと思います。(そのメトロでもスリに注意程度です)

Is there any multiple day storage facility within St Lazare? I would like to store luggage at the station while we’re traveling through Normandy/ Mont Saint Michel.
