Is gare du nord closer to gare montparnnasse or paris austerlitz. i want to go to lourdes from there.?

Question

please help me plan my trip

Answer 1

They are roughly the same distance from Gare du Nord (about 5.5 km)

Answer 2

They are both easily accesible from Gare du Nord:

- To go to Montparnasse, take métro line 4 in the direction of Porte d'Orléans to Montparnasse-Bienvenüe = 16 minutes

- To go to Austerlitz, take métro line 5 in the direction of Place d'Italie to Gare d'Austerlitz = 14 minutes

Here is a map of the subway: http://www.ratp.info/orienter/cv/cv_en/c...

As you can see there is no difference so choose your train to Lourdes on the price or schedule. Trains to Lourdes all leave from Gare Montparnasse except for night trains which leave from Austerlitz.
