jj6961 Posted February 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Has anyone ever gone to their ship in La Harve from Paris by train? There is a direct train from the Saint-Lazare station in Paris to La Harve, I'm not sure how well I can manage this with luggage. I have also heard that it's difficult to get a taxi from the train station to the port. I'm very comfortable with Paris/Metro/buses....but I've never attempted them with luggage. Appreciate anyone who has any experience or opinion on this topic. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Hi Jen, Although I have not taken the train from Paris to Le Havre, I have taken the Eurostar several times from Paris Gare du Nord/London or the reverse. No problem with luggage on the trains. I have used the metro from hotel to Gare du Nord ... again, no problem with luggage. I have also taken the RER from CDG & then metro to hotel. I have never had an issue with luggage on either the metro or trains. I usually travel with one rolling suitcase & a backpack. :) jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj6961 Posted February 8, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Jill, I won't be traveling quite as lightly: will be boarding for B2B's that will end in a T/A in Miami(at least that part is easy). I'm not going to worry about it, I won't have to rush as I plan on taking the train from Paris to Le Havre on a Sunday where my ship is doing an overnight and won't depart til late Monday. The ship actually departs from Harwich on Saturday, but I am going to join a day late so I can work Paris into the trip. Thank you for your assurance :p Hi Jen,Although I have not taken the train from Paris to Le Havre, I have taken the Eurostar several times from Paris Gare du Nord/London or the reverse.

Rare Hlitner Posted February 8, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You will not have any problem getting a taxi from the LeHavre station to the port. The taxi problem only happens when trying to get a taxi at the port since many of those taxis are looking for a full-day fare. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
