    First class-haha! Took the Paris to Lyon train. Left on time, arrived on time, clean.
    “First class” unfortunately had minimal AC, a stinky bathroom by the end of the trip, no ice, zero help with luggage and we rode backwards. If you can find a better train, take it! Or take some nausea medicine with you!

    This is a super busy train station and can be quite overwhelming with huge crowds especially on weekends. Not many places to sit, even in cafes, so one has to go outside for a rest. But there are lots of choices on the streets around. Lots of metro lines come here. Arrive with determination.

    The CDGVAL is efficient and runs often. It was convenient to the hotel where I stayed, just a 5 - 10 minute walk. I was very pleased and got my early flight with ease. I would suggest that signage could be a bit more evident from the sidewalk.

    Very fast efficient train service on our trip from Paris. Slow process in getting through security and scanning tickets.
    The most disappointing thing re customer service is that we wanted to change to the earlier train .We checked on line and there were plenty of empty seats yet they wanted to charge £150 each.Unbelievable especially as a friend was only charged £20 when they changed recently.

    Excellent. I would give Marc 7 stars if I could. You will not find a better service than his. He is a born and bred Parisien and knows the roads better than anyone I have ever come across. Simply outstanding.

    Always my first port of call and my first views of Paris is Gare Du Nord ,the most famous Railway Station in Paris .
    It's a big sprawling railway station ,day and night always busy ,set over multiple floors and huge ,it can seem confusing when you enter the station ,lots of fast food outlets ,hussle and bustle ,be aware that pickpockets operate here and sneak thieves ,to be honest their pretty obvious to spot ,be aware of you're surroundings and people invading you're space , I arrived from Charles De Gaulle Airport to Gare Du Nord as we were staying in the Montmartre District ,walked through the station to the metro station to whiz us to our destination ,well worth checking out if you're planning a holiday to Paris.
