Best way to get from Paris Gare Du Nord to Paris St Lazare?

Question

I need to find the best way to get from Paris GDN to St Lazare, and in less than an hour, as I need to get a connecting train.

Does anyone know the Metro route/train number I need to take? Have tried looking online but can't seem to find a good map or site.

Thanks very much for you help.

Answer 1

Take a cab.  :)  Much easier and not that expensive...and then someone else can schlep your bags around.

Answer 2

1) Go to the Magenta - RER station and take the RER E marked "Direction : Haussmann-Saint-Lazare" to the Haussmann-Saint-Lazare stop. then walk to the SNCF station.

2) Take the #26 Bus marked "Gare Saint-Lazare"

Either way should take less than 30 minutes.

PS. To get to the Magenta RER station from GDN walk out the front door and turn to your left along the rue du Dunkerque. Walk to the intersection with the rue du Faubourg St. Denis and turn left again. The Magenta station will be less than 100 meters on your right.
