Guten Tag
I am not sure you can get 2 dots in Paris but both stations have different postal codes gare du nord is : 75010 and gare St Lazare is : 75008 .
Unfortunatly I cannot tell you much about Caen besides it has a seeport and there are ferries to Portsmouth so there should be places to change cash.
Hope you enjoy your stay
Gutes neues Jahr 2008 !

I just two questions concerning my visit in France next month.

I will visit my girlfriend in Caen (she is doing a trainee there) and I´ll going by train there.

1. Is it possible to get 2 dots in Paris (leaving the tain at gare du nord and goig by metro to Paris St. Lazare). The gare du nord is very close in the northern dot and St Lazare in the southern dot...

2. Is it easy to change some money in Caen? (I´m speaking about maybe 100 / 200 notes)

Thanks in advance

As I am studying in Caen, I think that the best way to obtain notes is to find an ATM, or to ask in shops (only if you buy something !!!)

In France, the banks don't have cash au "guichet" (I can't remember the english word).
As for the post office, you can only change notes if you have an account (but not in the same one so you need to find one to put you money and then another to withdraw it). Fucking country :lol:

Good luck and have a nice trip :wink:

Ok, one more question (specially to users living in Paris):

I will arrive on 01.02. at Gare de l`Est at 12:34 and my connection train goes at 13:08 Gare St. Lazare.
Which is the best possibility to get this train (because I have a limited ticket)?
Is it better to take the Metro or a taxi?

Thanks in advance

by taxi, it will cost you a fortune, and you will have to queue before getting a taxi. If there's not too much traffic, it's +/- feasible...

By metro, take line 7 (direction "Villejuif" or "Mairie d'Ivry"), and make a connection at "Opera" ; take line 3 (direction "Pont de Levallois-Becon") ;once you are in the metro, it will take you to gare Saint-Lazare in +/- 20 minutes)

Honestly speaking, this is a VERY short connection between your two trains.

Both are difficult in the time you have, and it's at 12:00 ...
You can't postpone your second train ?

The next train is 1,5 hrs later and I won´t let my girlfriend wait :wink:

I think I need good luck to catch all metro-trains...
Anyway, thanks for the connection details and about the taxi: how much would it be (approx.)?

I suggest you to have headache when you arrive in Paris, then go out of Gare de l'est, walk down the boulevard de Strasbourg for 200 meters, turn on your right at the metro chateau d'eau, then buy a box of aspirin !!
