Bercy train station?

WE arrive from Florence at the Bercy train station. I cannot find it on any maps, etc.......would someone in the know mind telling me how to get to Arc de triomphe Metro stop from Bercy. Our apartment is right nearby. Our train arrives at 9am on a wednesday.





thank you!

Bercy is on metro line 14. Take it to Madeleine or Chatelet and change to your final destimation. Maybe also gare de Lyon.



GO on RATP site and enter your departure and arrival destination,

Thank you!!

Be aware however that you actually have to leave the train station and walk about 5 minutes to get down into the metro station.

Forgot to add - the quickest would be to change at Gare du Lyon onto the RER, line A, direction La Défense. There are far fewer stops than going by metro (line 1) and because you are always within the city limits you can use a normal %26#39;carnet%26#39; or zone 1/2 ticket.

Hello.





It was nice reading the reply to your post.







I am having the opposite issue, we are in Paris staying near the Eiffel tower and will need to find a way to the Bercy station.





I am hoping I can just reverse the directions you where told to get to the Bercy station.





Thank you to the poster who gave the directions.

IMO, the best plan is to take Metro line-14 - destination Gare Saint Lazare - to Chatelet station. Change to Metro Line-1 - destination La Défense - (a very short connection) to Charles de Gaulle Etoile station. This station is directly under the Arch de Triomphe.



Don%26#39;t change at Gare de Lyon. It%26#39;s a lot of walking with a lot of confusion with RER gates on your particular journey.



This route is simple and the least stressful, short of taking a taxi.

mars000210, If you can allow an extra 20 minutes for the less frequent trains on RER Line-C, take any RER-C eastbound train to station %26quot;Biblioteque François Mitterrand%26quot; and change to Line 14, direction %26quot;Gare Saint Lazare%26quot;. Take it to station %26quot;Bercy%26quot; and exit the station. When you get to street level, the Bercy station is two blocks from the Metro but if you follow the signs to the %26quot;Grande Lignes%26quot;, you%26#39;ll be there in no time.

Metromole.





thank you for the directions to Bercy Station.





I am going to take a stroll through Bercy Park. So I hope with your directions and hopefully finding the station while doing some walking on my first few days In Paris I won%26#39;t get lost %26gt;





but I have been lost in lots of places, even in my hometown. Sigh. It%26#39;s an adventure isn%26#39;t it.





Thank you for your help.





Again I hope everyone has a great time on their vacations, I plan to. count down mode for me.





Take Care,

Why not simply Line 6 from Bercy to Charles-de-Gaulle Etoile ? No connections, maybe slightly longer than Line 14 + Line 1, but you get the extra privilege of a city view (and the much famed Eiffel Tower view...)







Simpler is better !
