Use Gare de l’Est, not Gare de Lyon. Look at the actual service and included luggage. A short visit works better with a return booked around the time you want in the city, rather than a promise that booking four weeks ahead fixes the price. |
Choosing your journey
Allow roughly one hour 45 minutes to two hours on a suitable direct train, then add the journey to and from the stations. Compare the complete departure, arrival and ticket conditions before booking.

What matters on this route
Use Gare de l’Est, not Gare de Lyon. Look at the actual service and included luggage. A short visit works better with a return booked around the time you want in the city, with enough time for your visit.
Buy for the day you want
Compare the final price, baggage allowance and change conditions. A restrictive fare can be tied to the chosen service. Keep the ticket instructions available and allow time to find the platform. Add local transport and any airport journey separately.
Once you arrive, leave your bags and have a meal before a booked attraction. A useful first afternoon does not need a tight connection from the train to a timed entrance.
