=== | === Getting Here === | ||
==== | ==== Bus from Charles de Gaulle ==== | ||
From Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) you can take the RoissyBus for 10 Euros to get downtown, about a ten minute walk from the office. It departs from Terminals 1 and 2; buy your tickets just before the doors outside. The bus is non-stop from CDG to downtown and stops near Palais Garnier. From there you can walk to the office or many hotels nearby. | |||
=== | ==== Metro from Gare du Nord ==== | ||
If you come into Paris at the Gare du Nord you can take: | |||
# Metro <b>line #4</b> (pink line) in the <b>direction of Porte d'Orleans</b>, change after two stops at <b>Strasbourg St Denis</b>. | |||
# then Metro <b>line #8</b> (purple line) in the <b>direction of Balard</b> to <b>Grands Boulevards</b>. | |||
The Grands Boulevard Metro is on the same road as the Office. You can buy a Metro ticket from automated machines at all metro stops. You just need a regular Billet. The price is 1.70Eur and is valid in all directions for one Journey. This journey I gave you takes about 10 - 15 mins start to finish. You can pick up a map of Paris on the Eurostar itself. | |||
Alternatively, you can walk from Gare du Nord in about 20-25 minutes. This may be easier since it doesn't involve carrying suitcases up and down stairs (in the Metro). You'll want to look at a map beforehand, and likely have it with you. | |||
==== Metro ==== | |||
From the metro, use one of the following two stations: | |||
* '''Grands Boulevards''': Follow the signs to exit 2 (boulevard Montmartre). After you reach the top of the stairs, to reach the office continue straight ahead until you reach a large doorway with the number 16<sup><u>BIS</u></sup> over it, just after the Pret a Manger. | |||
* '''Richelieu-Drouot''': This station does not have numbered exits. Follow the signs for exits (signs with "SORTIE", with white letters on a blue background) to the exit for "RUE DROUOT". At the top of these stairs, continue straight ahead and immediately cross Rue Drouot (the smaller of the two streets at the intersection), and to reach the office continue straight ahead until you find a large doorway with the number 16<sup><u>BIS</u></sup> over it, just before the Pret a Manger. | |||
