Gare de l’Est serves eastern France and several European destinations, including Germany and Luxembourg. It is close to Gare du Nord but has its own entrances. For an unambiguous transfer, the exact station name, train and meeting point matter more than an approximate location.

Prepare a welcome at Paris-Est

Provide the arrival date and time, train number and city of origin. These details help prepare the assignment and anticipate a possible schedule change.

If arranging travel for someone else, provide the passenger’s contact details. An agency number is insufficient when the chauffeur and passenger need to meet at the exit.

  • Train, origin and local arrival date.
  • Passenger telephone number and expected luggage.
  • Full destination address.

Choose an unambiguous meeting place

One of Paris-Est’s entrances opens onto Place du 11-Novembre-1918 in the 10th arrondissement. The station has several access points, so the exact meeting point must be specified in the confirmed instructions.

After leaving the train, keep your luggage with you and go to the agreed landmark. If signs direct you to another exit, contact the chauffeur before changing your route.

Prepare an international departure

For a transfer to Gare de l’Est, specify the station, train number, pick-up address and the time you wish to arrive. Check the operator’s boarding instructions for your journey.

Traffic conditions mean no universal journey time can be guaranteed. A well-prepared departure allows a margin before the train and accounts for luggage to be loaded.

Connect the station with your full stay

Do not confuse Gare du Nord with Gare de l’Est, even though they are close. A connection between two stations must specify both locations and times, without assuming the chauffeur can wait in the same place.

From Paris-Est, Blue Prestige can assess a transfer to a hotel or airport, or hourly hire according to your itinerary. Price and availability are confirmed in writing before commitment.

  • Check the station printed on your ticket.
  • Notify us if your train changes.
  • Share meeting instructions with every passenger.
