    This is an especially great walk if you’re a fan of the film Amelie.

    UPDATE: There are now two escalators (and an elevator) on the side to avoid the old stairs by Gare de l’Est

    I walked many times that strech , remind me memories between 2 stations Gare du Nord and Gare de L' est , Always doddgy but superbe for adana Kebads .: The streets looks very clean and the stairs still remind me of a Donkey Kong level for my knees between 2 travels.

    Walked pass small cafe where my daughter and I had breakfast on a rainy Sunday morning in October 2008 before hopping on board Thalys high speed train to Amsterdam before Brussels-Amsterdam high speed link was complete.

    Or vice versa. I can remember walking the other way round with some mates, a few years ago. We arrived from Mannheim at Gare de l’Est, to catch a train to London. Can’t remember using the steps though, so we must have left from the ‘front exit’ and turned right along Rue du 8 Mai 1945, then onto Rue du Faubourg.

    This is great but your point about the last flight of steps with heavy luggage is very well taken. What would you advise if you DO have heavy luggage? Thank you.

      Take bus 91 (taking the metro also involves steps)

      I don't remember those steps from when I walked between the two stations in 2009 - though that was 12 years ago!

    A very easy walk and about 0.5 of a km like King's Cross to Euston in London.If you go via Rue Des Deux Gares keep an eye open for Hotel Kuntz! Assuming it's not shut down?

    Hey Mark: I need to do this exact walk in reverse ( Est - to - Nord) in December. I'm assuming you very kindly filmed this vid as there are no big, tourist-friendly, tourist-helpful signs to assist pedestrians in this process. Correction assumption on my part?? Many thanks!

    Ah, where were you 10 years ago when I got lost? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
    I no longer go to Germany via Paris because that, I use Brussels instead.

      When I last made that journey, as part of London to Heidleberg, the through service was nly a few months old. Completed with just two changes, the second being at Mannheim. So easy, so comfortable, so straightforward (if it works).

    0:51 - they refurbished this road. Much better to walk.

    The station entrance on Rue d'Alsace looks so sketchy and bleak... it's better to avoid this area at night

      I agree. Same accounts for rue d'Alsace in the evenings, but interesting budget takeout restaurants there.

    The French are letting the British in? Any problems at the border?

    You could also ask someone the way. I still do that from time to time. It's nice to talk to people rather than stare at your phone all the time.

    We did the same walk but in the reverse direction and with heavy luggage - I would NOT recommend it, especially with the steps and the roadworks going on!
    My wife and I had learned to use the buses in Paris, but there was a major route change a couple of years ago which screwed everything up - especially the 48 which we used to take between the Gare du Nord and Grands Boulevards / Passage Jouffroy.
    So going home via the Eurostar we had to take an alternative route which landed us at the Gare de l'Est and walk the rest to the Gare du Nord. As you say, it isn't far, but the steps are a major obstacle

      That’s why I list both routes on my site, this 7 min 500m one and the level-access 9 min 700m one. I vastly prefer this direct one, I seldom travel with luggage I can’t easily lift on those steps. But I hope if people see a photo of them it’ll be easier to decide.

      When you take the metro on this section, you have not less stairs to climb....

    Not a very good area. I know people who were robbed doing just that. Take care.
