Gore du Nord/L'Open Tour Bus Directions

I%26#39;ll be arriving Gore du Nord from London on eurostar for the first time. I%26#39;m planning on using the L%26#39;Open Tour bus and have been told the pick-up point is outside the front of the station. Once I disembark eurostar are there signs that I should look for and follow to easily locate the tour bus stop? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I meant Gare du Nord.

|||

L%26#39;Open Tour%26#39;s website gives the address:

Gare du Nord

10, boulevard de Denain Saint-Vincent de Paul, Terminaux Eurostar et Thalys

Blvd de Denain runs into rue de Dunkerque, which runs in front of the station.

Look at a map:

There is a %26#39;V%26#39; formed by blvd de Magenta and rue Lafayette, and blvd de Denain intersects the bottom of the V at one end and rue de Dunkerque at the other end.

|||

They have either a sign that looks sort of like an old-fashioned parking meter (It%26#39;s bright green, with a yellow and red %26quot;banner%26quot; right across the top, that says L%26quot;OpenTour%26quot;) or the bus shelters have a large sign on the roof, again in bright green and yellow with red.

There%26#39;s heaps of pick up places - you don%26#39;t need to catch it at Gar du Nord...and won%26#39;t you have luggage that you%26#39;d rather leave in a hotel first?

Go to this site http://www.paris-opentour.com/ and you can printo off a brochure that has all of the routes and stops.

Thank you for your replies. Stur3128, sorry I should have added that it is just a day trip. I will have to leave in the early evening.

Does anyone know the address of Gare Du Nord? I%26#39;m trying to map quest the station to my hotel and can%26#39;t seem to get the address.

Thanks

You can get a transit itinerary (by metro, bus...) at www.ratp.fr by entering Gare du Nord station in the first box and the address of your hotel in the second.

When your itinerary comes up, click on the small map icons for exact locations.

Google Maps knows about stations and airports etc. I find it much more useful than Mapquest.

Paris Gare du Nord

18 Rue Dunkerque

Paris

75010

France

Direct from Eurostar website.

If you walk out the main doors the street leading away in front of you is Boul de Denain.

Walk down the right side of the street... in front of the fast food restaurant %26#39;Xoticka%26#39; you%26#39;ll see the yellow lamp post like sign for the Open Tour stop.

Use the Place Napoleon III address as in the post above and type that into the location box at http://maps.google.com Then drag the little person icon onto Denain and you will actually see the strret and the sign...
