Title: Using the trains
Post by: clairabell13 on February 02, 2015, 11:03:02 AM
Hi all.

I was wondering - my French is very rusty High School French  :-[ .... now, I know all of the people who work at Disney are amazing, and seem to know English so well, but is this the same in the train station too?

Would love to use the train to go into Paris, but a little nervous about understanding everything. and then ending up somewhere totally random lol

Hi when i went 3 years ago i got the train from the station at disney to central paris and i can speak french but the lady in the ticket office spoke english and it was really easy,you can also view maps online of the route to work out which stop you want to get off,this link might help as it is in english

hi i think from memory you need to get off at champ de mars on rer line C which means you will need to change rer trains as it is line A that leaves from disney,here is a map of the rer trains i haven't been for a few years so someone with more knowledge might be able to help you more

Take RER A from disney to Charles de Gaulle/Etoile, change there to line 6 I think ,to Bar  Hakiem. 2 min walk from there to the tower. Use the ticket machines at Disney station, you can set them to English, no need to go to the ticket office.🗼🚈

the RER line map is very simple, each line has a different color and important sights/their respective stations ae indicated basically everywhere.

Should you still get lost, try asking "Où est..." (where is...), Où is pronounced like in you, est is pronounced like in meh). Most frequented places will also very likely have policemen/women having an eye on everyone's security, they can always help as well

The metro journey is incredible. The train emerges from the tunnel as you go over the Seine with the Eiffel tower right in front of you! They even featured that in an episode of ER! :D
