taxi for 5 from Gare du Nord

Hello all

We are traveling to Paris in the end of September with our 3 kids.

We are wondering how easy is to catch a taxi for 5 from Gare du Nord to the apartment that we will be staying in Paris (adress: rue Bourg Tibourg).

We are ariving by train from Amsterdam around 5pm. Does any body knows how long can be the drive to the apartment and how much will it cost?

Is there a bus conecting Gare du Nord to rue bourg tibourg directly?

thank you

Easy enough... the taxi stand is to the right as you take the main station exit. Ignore offers of rides from unlicensed cars. There are many minivan taxis in Paris ... just let the people in line behind you grab a car and wait until a van comes down the queue.

The ride should cost you about 20 euros max including the extra passenger and extra baggage charges.

If you have a look at the Paris bus and metro map at RATP.com you%26#39;ll see your street is between metro stops and would require at least one bus transfer and you%26#39;ll all have luggage... all things considered a cab is likely your best bet.

Plan on spending about €50. Have the address written down to show to the driver.

Misread the post--yes about €20.

Note the 69 bus on the rue de Rivoli--very scenic ride to the Eiffel Tower.

It%26#39;s difficult to find a taxi for 5.The taxidrivers didn%26#39;t take more than 4.And if you have lugage ....

thank you Rob

what are u suggesting for 5 ericseparis23?

I think he means a regular car type taxi might not fit.

A driver with a minivan (some are bigger than others) won%26#39;t leave you standing there...

|||

I hope you%26#39;re right,Rob, but I am not sure.The drivers take 3 sometimes 4.5 is too much for insurance...

2 taxis maybe, or a VW Touran.There%26#39;s not a lot of minivan as %26quot;Taxis Parisiens%26quot;.

You can see the answer n°%26quot;if you can read french

just an idea -- we took the train from Amsterdam to Paris last September. The steward on the train came around with a reservation slip for the taxi at Gare du Nord. We were able to prebook what we needed (taxi for 4 - two of which were LARGE men) and the driver was waiting for us at the exit. He had a sign with our name on it.
