Practical Information
Getting to Nancy
1. Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to Gare de l'Est (East Railway Station)
From the Charles de Gaulle Airport, take the line RER B - a train connecting the airport and Paris,
which is cheaper than a taxi, unless you share the costs with someone (50-60 Euros). The RER
takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of stops, as they can be non-stop, 4-5 stops and
also stopping everywhere.
Getting from the terminal to the RER may take up to 30 minutes. To get to the RER, follow the
signs ‘Trains to Paris, RER’. You need to buy a ticket (8,40 Euro one way) before you enter the
train. To safe the time on the way back, you can also buy a return ticket for RER as they are not
limited in time.

http://parisbytrain.com/charles-de-gaulle-airport-cdg-to-paris-by-train/
Get off the train at the Gare du Nord station and change for Metro line 4 (using the same ticket),
direction Porte d'Orleans, and follow the directions. It is only 1 stop from the Gare de l'Est.
You can also walk from one station to the other (takes 10-15 minutes with luggage). To leave the
station first follow directions to Grandes Lignes and then exit through ‘modern’ glass doors
(direction pl. Dunkerque), turn to the left, follow the signs. Directions are well indicated along the
streets. Here you find a map of the area

2. Paris Gare de l’Est to Nancy – by TGV (High speed train):
In Paris, go to the East Railway Station (Gare de l'Est). Take a direct high speed train (TGV) to
Nancy. Direct trains from Paris Est to Nancy Ville take 90 minutes.
Tickets from Paris to Nancy: add another 30 minutes if to be bought in the booking office,
otherwise, use the special ticket machines. Before boarding the train, you need to ‘validate’ the
tickets (small yellow boxes everywhere). Tickets may also be purchased on the internet (see
below).
NB: Seats on the TGV have to be pre-booked. It is cheaper and more convenient to purchase
return tickets in Paris (or on internet). There is no special price for a ‘return’ ticket, just the ‘back-toParis’ ticket may be cheaper due to a longer period before departure
It is possible to book train tickets online http://www.tgv-europe.com/en/home/
3. Other directions to Nancy
Other airports: Strasbourg, Luxembourg, or Metz-Nancy-Lorraine 30km from the town centre.
There are also trains to Nancy from Strasbourg and Luxembourg. From CDG Airport, there are
also (but rarely) direct trains to Nancy, station TGV Lorraine (from there shuttle buses leave to
Nancy City, which take another 40-45 min). Please consult the SNCF website at

More about Nancy
Dating back to the Middle Ages, blessed with majestic town houses, Nancy was provided with one
of the most remarkable squares in Europe by King Stanislas in the 18th century, listed as a World
Heritage Site by Unesco: Place Stanislas, which was refurbished, embellished and pedestrianised
in 2005 for its 250th anniversary. At the turn of the century, Nancy was the birthplace of the Ecole
de Nancy, a branch of European Art Nouveau which produced exceptional artists such as Gallé,
Daum and Majorelle.
