Eurostar Paris Unaffected by Strike

Alex — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:24:27 +0000

News reports from France confirm that Eurostar Paris journeys are unaffected by the general public sector strike.

Disruption has swept across other parts of the French transport network in Paris as both public and private sector workers have been on strike to protest at the deterioration of the French economy.

Hundreds of thousands of French workers attended more than two hundred rallies across the country in protest at president Nicolas Sarkozy’s inability to protect wages and jobs.

Postal workers and teachers angry with plans to shed 13,000 positions in 2009 and also court officials have all joined the day of protest alongside transport and local government workers.

Reports suggest however that disruption to travel in the capital has not been as severe as expected. Some 60 per cent of services are operating normally, while Eurostar Paris services are unaffected. So anybody arriving on Eurostar deals to Paris today can expect to arrive punctually at Gare du Nord but may face some delays with their onward journey.

How do I get from my hotel to the Eurostar staion in Paris?

Alex — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:11:00 +0000

Hi, I’m looking for directions from my hotel, Tyrp Blanche Fontaine (34 Rue Fontaine, Paris, 75009, France) to the Eurostar terminal at the Gare du Nord. Thanks if you can help me out!!

Walk over to the Place de Clichy and take Bus 54 marked “Direction : PORTE D’AUBERVILLIERS”. It will get you to the Gare du nord in about 12 minutes. This is the most direct route. You can take the metro but you’ll need to change trains. Use the bus, its really easier.
