RER to Gare du Nord

Change to Metro Line 4, direction Porte de Clignancourt, get off at Barbes Rochechouart

Change to Metro Line 12, direction Marie d%26#39;Issy, get off at St Georges

- or -

RER to Gare du Nord

Taxi to hotel

(I recommend this method over the first since you are unfamiliar with the system)

- or -

You can avoid the train altogether and take Roissybus into Paris (lets off by the Opera), then take a taxi

You buy the 8Euro ticket on the bus from the driver (no need to find the RER station or stand in line to buy ticket)

There are virtually no instructions to anything in France in English.

i am going to try and use the metro to get to places like the eiffel tower and the louvre as this is the cheapest form of transport. with my very limited french is it possible.

It may be finished by now but the last time I went through St. Georges, the station was closed for renovation.

I also recommend a taxi from Gare du Nord. With your luggage and all the stairs you will need to climb to change between lines, a 5 Euro taxi ride is worth the money.

Millions of non-French-speaking visitors navigate the metro just fine, and so can you.
