Gare de l'Est, in the 10th arrondissement at Place du 11-Novembre-1918, serves north-east France (Strasbourg, Nancy, Metz, Reims) and Germany (Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Saarbrucken) via Deutsche Bahn ICE trains. With 35 million annual passengers, it's quieter than its neighbours but still busy weekdays between 7-9am and 5-8pm.

Its proximity to Gare du Nord (700 metres on foot) makes it a useful transfer hub between the northern (Eurostar, Thalys) and eastern (TGV Inoui, ICE) networks. Our service drops you off directly at Place du 11-Novembre in front of the Grandes Lignes Hall, or near the suburban hall (north face, more discreet).
