Paris to LeHavre

[Earl Rosebery]

Any help on the easiest way from downtown Paris to the cruise terminal at LeHavre would be appreciated.

Assuming you can handle your luggage just take the Intercity Trains (these are the nice high speed trains) from the Paris St Lazare Station to the Le Havre St Charles Station. There are a few direct IC trains per day that make the trip in about 2 hours. You do need to make reservations for these trains. There are other slower trains, but that involves changing your train (no fun with luggage). Once you arrive a Le Havre your easiest way is to simply grab a taxi from the train station to the port (its a short ride out of town). RAilEurope shows the regular 2nd class fare at $47.

A two-hour train journey from St Lazare station to Le Havre, then a taxi hop to the pier is the way to go. Hank knows more detail than I, but I agree with the bones of his reply.

I'm so glad I browsed this thread. I went from "Crap, it's too difficult and long to get to Paris on the cruise bus" to "Holy cow, $31 to get there in 2 hours! YES!!"

 

So, thank you!
