Rouen to Paris by train

[petergoesrock]

Hi, our cruise takes us to Rouen for 2 days at the beginning of September and we were considering travelling to Paris independently for a day.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has done this, and any hints or tips about how to go about organising it.

 

Thanks!

Just go to the http://www.raileurope.com to check the schedules and frequency. IIRC it's less than 2 hours each way. It could be a long day but if you've never been to Paris and want to get a quick glimpse it could be worth it. Plan your itinerary for the day in Paris and then use the metro - if there isn't a strike it really is the fastest way to get around. Get a good map that includes Metro stops so you can minimize walking and save time. To see the most I wouldn't plan on any museums, especially not the Louvre. You need most of a day for that.
