GARE DU NORD TO GARE DE LYON

After arriving in Paris you need to cycle from the Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon following a series of grands boulevards (wide avenues) on an almost straight 4km route. Go ahead opposite the main entrance to Gare du Nord along semi-pedestrianised Bvd de Denain. At the end turn left (Bvd de Magenta) and follow this to reach Place de la République. Continue round this square and leave on the opposite side by Bvd du Temple, becoming Bvd des Filles du Calvaire then Bvd Beaumarchais, to reach Place de la Bastille. Bear L (past memorial column to 1830 revolution) and R (passing Opera Bastille L) into Rue de Lyon to reach Gare de Lyon station.

Franco-Swiss TGV Lyria high-speed trains operate every two hours between Paris (Gare de Lyon) and Basel (three hours), with some continuing to Zürich (four hours). These have four cycle spaces per train with mandatory reservation (€10). Details can be found and bookings made on SNCF (French Railways) website www.voyages-sncf.com.
