Grand Station
Nov 2022
The Gare de L'Est is a beautiful station. Well worth pausing to have a look at the station as you enter.

Within the station there are quite a few stores where you can buy something to eat or drink. There are also other stores if you want to buy some clothes or something to listen to or read at Fnac or Relay.

There are trains from this station to Nancy and Strasbourg as well as some international trains to Stuttgart and Frankfurt. There are also plenty of local trains to different destinations.

If you enjoy beautiful railway architecture this is the place to go.

Architecturally stunning....
Oct 2022
This is a beautiful structure, that is one of six main railway stations of Paris, we were staying a stones throw away near the canal during our visit, unfortunately the immediate area has gone down hill in recent times

Odour de Paris, What's happened?!
Oct 2022
Beautiful building.

But my gosh, can someone who has some power walk around outside the station to gain the full 'experience' that visitors have arriving to Paris? Much like it's sister station Gare de Nord, there is an overwhelming and overpowering stench of stale urine. (Sadly this seemed to also be all the way up and around Monmarte, and by the Sacre Ceour.. urinals in full view seem to be a 'thing'. As is just standing in the street in-between parked cars (but that's a different story)

To the point where the 'odour' made us choke. Talk about taking someone's breathe away- for all the wrong reasons. We have never known anything like it. If I was Parisian I would be so sad!

To make matters worse there are urinals just around corners that don't hide much of anything, and having a little look at the view whilst waiting for our Eurostar back to the UK if you look down you can see everything on the one circular urinal under a beautiful historical arch!

What has happened Paris?!?!!?!!?

Total contrast to Gard du Nord.
Sep 2022
Despite being not too faraway this is a total contrast to the unpleasant experience whichtoday is the Garddu Nord.Large open atria and a total lack of threatening atmosphere. Helpful staff.Apleasure to use though the journey out into thesuburbs is just as grim and graffitti laden.

Gateway to the East
Jun 2022
This is a huge train station and the gateway to the East. Lots of people pass through here each day. There is some shopping and places to eat. It has been modernized and cleaned up in recent years.

No coins, no service.

Don’t come here with baggage and a full bladder and no coins. There a no where to get coins. They should put up a machine. We were not alone with this problem.

Now you’ll understand!
Paris need two big train stations almost side by side! One of Europe’s busiest connecting points I guess! 👍😉

Impressive station
Oct 2019
Gare de Paris-Est is a nice looking station from the outside and is just as lovely inside. It is not huge like some other stations and is very easy to get around, particularly for some people who might find train stations bewildering. There are several shops as well so that is an added benefit.

Nice Station
Dec 2019
We came to this station from Munich on a direct train. The station was fairly small as we were already outside once we walked down the platform. The inside looked like a station but was a bit smaller. The outside was quite nice as it looked almost like a greenhouse with the windows on the front. There is also a statue on top of the station. It was a nice station with bus stops close by for transfers, although we didn't use them as there was a strike at the time.

Smaller station
Mar 2020 • Friends
Much easier to navigate here then Gard Du Nord and cleaner, lovely architecture on the outside, we caught a train to Frankfurt here. Some shops and food outlets, could do with more seating.
