RER St Michel

Does anyone know if this station has a working escalator or elevator for those with rolling suitcases? Can%26#39;t manage stairs. Thanks for your help!

It depends on whether you are arriving or departing.

We transferred at that station from RER C to RER B and a double staircase was involved. There were three changes of level to get to the tracks. The other two had escalators.

|||

I will be coming and going from my hotel nearby to CDG. It sounds like escalators. Yeh!

|||

At the north end of the platform (I mean the very end of the platform, %26quot;Sortie 5%26quot;), you have escalators all the way to street level. You%26#39;ll come out in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. All other exits (sorties) involve stairs.

|||

OOPS, I was referring to RER-B from the airports.

|||

Metromole, that sounds good to me since I will take RER B but I hope exit 5 won%26#39;t take me to Ile de la Cite! Thanks for your help.

|||

Well, Notre Dame is on Ile de Cite, and the RER stop is called %26quot;St Michel/Notre Dame%26quot;, so guess what?

|||

Wilbar, the walk from the Notre Dame end of the RER station platform to the left bank is literally just the length of an RER train. We%26#39;re not talking about a long walk here.

|||

I am very interested in this post because we will be arriving at the St-michel station with suitcases.

There is another VERY confusing post running about exiting the St Michel/Notre Dame metro by escalator so can we get this clear (sorry!)

As I understand it.

You get on the RER B train at CDG in the end carraige and alight at St-Michel Notre Dame station. You then follow the signs for Notre Dame and this will take you up three levels by escalator to the entrance outside Notre Dame cathedral on the Ile de la Cite.

You can then walk across Rue de la Cite towards the left bank, to the Quai St-Michel. (As we are staying on Rue Git-le-Coeur we can then walk along the Quai de Grands-Augustins to our street or walk across Place St-Michel and through a little alleyway to Rue Git-le-Coeur.)

Sorry to appear so dim! is this right?

Sorry I just read the other post again.

Is the exit with escalators signed Parvis de Notre Dame/Hopital Hotel Dieu, sortie 5? and on my map it%26#39;s less than 50 metres to the Quai St- Michel.

Yes. Sortie 5 is correct.
