Do you know a good bar near gare du nord?

Question

Hi, I am travelling on the snow train in a few weeks, which includes waiting in gare du nord for 3 hours for the train. Can you recommend a good bar close to Gare du Nord in Paris?

Answer 1

There is a bar just opposite, good for the Parisian occupation of watching the passers-by.  Not cheap, however, and come to think of it,  Paris is still too cold for sitting outside.  There are plenty of bars about but I wouldn't recommend  one over any other.

Answer 2

Au Rendez-Vous des Belges 23, rue de Dunkerque (right across the stree from the main entrance) is what you are looking for. Heres a video of the place: http://www.pariszoomtv.com/place.asp?P=A...
