Gare Saint-Lazare Paris Train Station Complete Guide

Are you planning to go by train from Paris to Monet's Garden at Giverny or the World War II beaches in Normandy? 

If so, you'll most likely depart from the  Gare Saint-Lazare train station in the city's 8th arrondissement.  You can also catch a train here to visit the Palace of Versailles, although the RER C and trains leaving Gare Montparnasse are usually a bit faster.

Gare Saint-Lazare is the second-busiest of Paris's seven big rail hubs for long-distance trains to other parts of France, as well as being the country's oldest train station.  Today, it primarily serves suburban commuters, who account for most of the almost half-million people passing through the station each day. 

When you look at Gare Saint-Lazare from Rue Saint-Lazare, the Hilton Paris Opera hotel blocks much of your view of the station's lovely mid-19th century classical architecture, preventing you from getting a good sense of its size.  However, Gare Saint-Lazare is enormous. 

In addition to being a busy transportation hub, Gare Saint-Lazare also packs in a full-size shopping mall  filled with around 80 stores, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants - truly one of Paris's hidden secrets because when you look at the station from the outside, you'd never guess that it's there.

If you're not already familiar with Gare Saint-Lazare, finding your way around its three levels to get your ticket to Versailles, Vernon (the closest town to Giverny with train service), or other Normandy destinations can feel somewhat confusing and complicated. 

But don't worry.  Our guide to Gare Saint Lazare train station tells you everything you need to know about how to get your tickets, where to find the tracks to board your train, and, in case you have extra time before your departure, what to explore and where to eat in the shopping mall.

Want to stay overnight near the station before or after your trip?  This guide also includes hotel recommendations.

Travel Destinations from Gare Saint-Lazare

Getting your tickets and finding the correct tracks for your trip becomes easier if you know that two types of trains, both part of France's national SNFC rail system, depart from Gare Saint-Lazare: 

  • Local commuter Transilien trains serve Paris's nearby western suburbs located within Île de France, the area where Paris is located; of the eight suburban rail lines, only the "J" and "L" lines depart from Gare Saint-Lazare
  • Intercity TER Normandie regional trains go to most areas in Normandy, including lines to Vernon-Rouen-Le Havre, Caen-Cherbourg, and Trouville-Deauville; in the station, these regional intercity trains are called the "Grandes Lignes."

If you're going to the Palace of Versailles, you'll be taking one of the Île de France local commuter trains on the "L" line that goes to Versailles Rive Droite. 

They depart about every 15 minutes, and once you arrive at the station in Versailles, your walk to the Chateau will take about 20 minutes.

If you're going to a destination in Normandy, such as Vernon, the station closest to Monet's garden in Giverny, Bayeux or Caen near the D-Day beaches, or other locations such as Rouen, Honfleur, or Deauville, you'll take one of the regional "Grandes Lignes" trains.

Trains to Vernon, the most popular Normandy destination for most Paris visitors, depart every 1-2 hours.  Once you arrive in Vernon, you can take a local shuttle, taxi, bike, or even walk to Monet's home and garden in Giverny.

Why is all this information about travel destinations important to know?  Once you're on the station's Concourse level, you'll see two types of ticket machines marked "Île de France" and "Grandes Lignes."   More about that in a moment.

Pro Tip:   In case you're wondering where you'll get tickets France's famous high-speed "TGV" trains at Gare Saint Lazare, the answer is "nowhere," because no TGV trains depart from the station at this time.

Quick Guide to Gare Saint-Lazare's Layout

Metro station entrance and suitcase sculpture in Cour de Rome plaza in front of Gare Saint-Lazare

The Gare Saint-Lazare terminal fills an entire block between Rue de Rome and Rue d'Amsterdam, and in the back, its 27 tracks stretch up to Place de l'Europe. 

Outside, Gare Saint-Lazare has two "cours," or front courtyards, thanks to how the Hilton Paris Opera hotel bisects the space in front of the station. The larger one, Cour de Rome , is on the west side of the hotel, and Cour de Havre is on the east side.  A pedestrian walkway and narrow road used by buses and taxis passes between the station and hotel. 

The glass "bubble" you'll notice in front of the station's west end provides easy access to the Saint-Lazare metro station where Lines 3, 12, 13, and 14 intersect with each other and the train station.  If you're at the station to catch a train, there's no reason you'd go into the metro station unless you're desperate to escape pouring rain. 

Behind the station's front 19th century façade are three levels, which run across the entire width of the building.  These contain the modern shopping center, a couple of SNCF service offices, and the Concourse where you get tickets for your train.  This part of the station has an atrium-like design  to let in light from a glass roof on the top (3rd) level), which makes this massive structure feel surprisingly open and airy.

This is what you'll find on each level:

  • Level 1 - "Metro Level" - First floor of the shopping center - many stores, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants - plus a passageway to connect to the Saint-Lazare metro station
  • Level 2 - "Street Level" - This is the level you'll be on when you enter the station - 2nd floor of the shopping center, plus the larger of the two SNCF offices
  • Level 3 - "Train Level" - On the top floor is the Concourse, a small SNCF office, a few places including a Starbucks to grab drinks and snacks, and a Monop' convenience store if you need even more snacks for your trip.

Getting Around Paris's Gare Saint-Lazare Train Station

Arriving at gare saint-lazare.

If you arrive at the station by metro, a city bus, or a taxi, you'll most likely be at Cour de Rome. If you walk to the station from the vicinity of Printemps or Galeries Lafayette, just a couple of blocks away, you'll probably be at Cour de Havre.

To confirm where you are before you enter the station, look around. 

If you see the glass bubble covering the escalators to enter/exit the metro station and a slightly weird 20-foot high bronze sculpture (closer up, you can see that it depicts a pile of suitcases and is actually rather cool), you're at Cour de Rome.  During some years, a small but fun Christmas market pops up here, so if you're at the station December, don't be surprised if you see that too.

On the other hand, if you see just a small nondescript plaza with a Burger King and the Passage du Havre shopping center across the street, you're at Cour de Havre.

Why does knowing your location matter?  Two reasons:  1) The station has multiple entrances, and you may want to choose the one closest to where where you'll get your tickets and catch your train, and 2) Once you get inside the station, you'll fully realize just how enormous it really is, and knowing where you were when you entered will help you orient yourself once you're inside. 

What's the Best Entrance to Use at Gare Saint Lazare?

Metro station entrance and suitcase sculpture in Cour de Rome plaza in front of Gare Saint-Lazare

Gare Saint Lazare has four entrances spaced more or less evenly across its front, as well as several more along its sides on Rue de Rome and Rue d'Amsterdam.   Ignore the side entrances unless you're already familiar with the station's layout, as they can be a bit confusing.

Because the station is so large, you may be able to save a few steps by entering through the front door closest to the ticket machines and tracks for your travel destination.

If you are going to Versailles or any of the other Ile de France locations served by this station, the best Gare Saint Lazare entrance to use is the front entrance on the west.   If you're facing the front of the station, that's the one on the far left - easy to spot from Cour de Rome.

If you're going to Giverny or another Normandy location, choose one of the two entrances on the east end (on your right, if you facing the station).

Once you go through any of the entrances, you'll be on the station's Street (2nd) Level.  Go up the nearest stairs, escalator, or elevator to the 3rd (Train) level to the Concourse level, which is where where you get your tickets and check schedules.  Immediately behind the Concourse are the station's 27 tracks.

This map shows the layout of the concourse and tracks on the Train (3rd) Level:

Tracks 1-20, on the station's west end, are used by trains going to suburban locations in Île de France, including the "L" line train with service to Versailles Rive Droite departing about every 15 minutes. 

You'll find plenty of Île de France ticket machines in this area.  This is where you get tickets if you want to visit Chateau de Versailles.

Tracks 21-27, on the station's east end, are used by the "Grandes Lignes" - also called "Lignes Normandes" - intercity regional trains providing service to Normandy.

Look for "Grandes Lignes" ticket machines to get your tickets for Vernon (Giverny), which depart every one or two hours, and other destinations in Normandy.

How to Buy Tickets at Gare Saint Lazare 

paris saint lazare tour eiffel

Although SNCF does have two service offices at the station, including a large one on the Street Level and a smaller one near the Grandes Lignes area on the Train Level, most people buy their tickets at a ticket machine, which is very easy.

The most important thing you need to do is to make sure you're at the right type of machine for your destination. 

Get in line, and buy a round-trip ticket (which means you'll get two 1-way tickets) once you get up to the machine.  Select the language option for "English" (or another language), follow the instructions on the screen, and pay for your ticket with your credit or debit card. 

Please note that the Grandes Lignes ticket machines usually offer a couple of options:  Standard vs First Class, and Cheapest vs Semi-Flexible.   "Semi-Flexible" means that the ticket can be exchanged or refunded until a certain point prior to departure for a small fee.  "Cheap" tickets are usually non-refundable.

The ticket purchase process is quick and easy, but if you make a mistake, simply hit "cancel" and start over.

Pro Tip:  Although buying your tickets at the station is easy once you find the right ticket machines, there is  catch:  you won't know how long the ticket line will be until you get there, which means you should allow plenty of extra time for standing in line, just in case.  If you're lucky and there's no line, you can use the extra time to shop or enjoy a snack.

You may want to consider stopping by the station and purchasing your ticket a day or two before your trip, especially if you want to depart during the weekday commuter morning rush hours. 

Alternately, you can also buy your tickets online.

How to Buy Your Train Tickets Online

Buying your train tickets online saves you time because you don't have to wait in the ticket purchase line once you get there, plus it's also somewhat less stressful than using the ticket machines during the most crowded times. 

If you buy your tickets a few days in advance, you can usually get a lower price - so online purchase may also save you money.

You can buy your tickets online from  SNCF , the company that operates the rail system or from Trainline, which sells train tickets for towns and cities throughout much of Europe.

You may find Trainline's website to be easier and faster to use, although you will pay a small booking fee (currently, less than 1€) per transaction.  The SNCF site can sometimes be glitchy and doesn't always work with non-European credit or debit cards. 

Another booking option is RailEurope, but they charge higher booking fees - $7.95 at the current time.  So, caveat emptor (buyer beware)!

Finding & Boarding Your Train

Gare Saint-Lazare's third level, where train tracks are located

Once you have your tickets, finding your train is easy.  Just check the overhead monitors, which will show you the departure time and track number. 

Find your track, and then board your train when it pulls up.  If you're taking a Grandes Ligne train, make sure you go to the right cabin class to find your seat.

Getting Your Train Tickets Validated

Plexiglass gates and ticket validation machines in front of the track area

In Gare Saint-Lazare, in order to pass through the plexiglass gates between the Concourse and the tracks where you'll board your train, you have to put your ticket into the adjacent validation ( "composter") machine (and remember to take it back after it is stamped).  

But when you're returning to Paris from a station in the suburbs, town, or smaller city, the validation process may be different.  There may not be a barrier, such as gates, to prevent you from boarding the train without validating your ticket. 

That means you have to look for a validation machine and put your ticket in it to validate it before you board the train. 

Don't worry - the machines are easy to spot, plus you can usually just observe what other passengers are doing.  Just don't forget to do it (and hold onto your validated ticket)!

Why?  When conductors pass through the train to check tickets, if they discover you haven't validated yours, they can fine you.  Currently, the fine is 60€ if you pay on the spot, and more if you pay online later. 

Exceptions to the Validation Rule

There are only two situations when validation is not necessary:  1) you got your ticket online, printed it, and have the printed copy with you, or 2) you downloaded your ticket to your phone.  In both of these cases, you just show the conductor your paper copy or your digital ticket on your phone.

Why to Keep Your Train Tickets Until After You Arrive

Important Tip:  Keep your ticket once you board the train because you'll need to insert it into a turnstile in order to exit the Vernon station.  

If you don't have your ticket when you exit, you'll most likely be fined.

5 Interesting Facts about Gare Saint-Lazare

  • The original Gare Saint-Lazare train station was built in 1837 and inaugurated by Queen Marie-Amélie (wife of Louis-Phiilippe I), just two years after the first railway line came into service.  It is the oldest railway station in France.
  • The station's first shopping arcade opened in 1935 to provide passengers with a convenient selection of about 50 shops, dining, and services.  Today's shopping mall continues the tradition.
  • Although the station's beautiful classical façade, glass-roofed gallery, and enormous size resulted from a renovation/expansion completed between 1842 and 1853, the interior redesign with the 3 floors, central atriums, and the shopping/dining mall running the length of the building that you see today dates back only to 2012.  Before that time, the area was called Galerie des Pas Perdu - the Hall of Lost Steps.
  • Gare Saint Lazare serves about 120 million travelers per year, with over 450,000 people (not all travelers) passing through each day.
  • The 4-star Hilton Paris Opera that you see in front of the station today is not new, nor was it always a Hilton.  It dates back to 1889 when the Grand Hotel Terminus opened to provide 500 luxury guestrooms equipped with electric lights and telephones for transatlantic passengers who sailed from New York to Havre or Cherbourg in Normandy and then came by train to Paris to attend the World's Fair in Paris.  The Hilton Group bought the hotel in 2014, and after renovations, updates, and a name change, the Hilton still provides luxurious accommodations in a superb location. Its meticulously restored grand foyer is officially classified as French historical monument.

3 Cool Things to Do at Gare Saint-Lazare

1.  listen to the music.

Man playing Mozart on the piano on Gare Saint-Lazare's top floor

Do you hear melodies from Beethoven's "Fur Elise" or Chopin's "Moonlight Sonata" floating above the din of travelers rushing to catch their train?  It may be someone taking a turn at the piano on the third level. 

2.  Dine in the  Passerelle Eugenie Covered Footbridge

Man playing Mozart on the piano on Gare Saint-Lazare's top floor

If you're outside the station's east side, look up and one level above the ground, you'll see a charmingly ornate glass-enclosed footbridge connecting the station's Train Level with the Hilton Paris Opera. 

This is the Passerelle Eugenie (short for Passerelle de l'Empress Eugenie), named after Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, who used it to go between the station and hotel when she secretly traveled incognito. 

Later, this secret passerelle allowed other well-heeled guests to go directly from the hotel to their train compartment for a time, but then fell into disuse.  Until recently, the public could visit this architectural gem only during European Heritage Days each September.   

But that changed a few years ago when the legendary Dalloyau, a French Maison de Gastronomie dating back to 1682, renovated the space as part of its posh new restaurant/tea room at the station.

If, among the six train stations of Paris , Gare Saint-Lazare is less well known to visitors, there's a good reason. Saint-Lazare is a terminus mainly for local and regional trains; 95% of its traffic is made up of suburban commuters. Sixteen hundred trains arrive and depart daily, making it the second busiest station in Paris, after Gare du Nord . The multilevel gare was recently renovated and is now brimming with shopping and dining options in a three-level shopping mall.

Gare Saint-Lazare

There is no TGV or other high-speed long-distance service. But, for visitors, the gare is where you'll want to go to get a train connection to the Chateau de Versailles, Monet's gardens at Giverny, and the D-Day beaches of Normandy. For commuters, Gare Saint-Lazare provides connections to points along the Paris-Le Havre line and elsewhere in northwestern France.

Shopping levels at Gare Saint-Lazare

Gare Saint Lazare is an all-in-one rail service station that offers up the rail melange of Paris Metro lines, trains connecting to the major centers of northwestern France, the commuter train system serving the southwestern suburbs of Paris, and the regional express serving upper Normandy.

France train nomenclature is a bit like jazz — it's free-form, there are lots of different notes, and you don't always know quite what's going on. And that's true of some of the train-naming at Gare Saint-Lazare where you'll find references to Les Grande Lignes , Transilien, TER, Intercité, and, simply, train . We'll take a stab at a glossary of these terms.

Part of the Paris region underground commuter transit system. (There is no RER service directly to Saint-Lazare.) Like the Metro, the RER trains run on dedicated tracks, usually farther underground the the Metro, and serve Paris and its immediate surroundings. RATP, the transportation authority, plans to drop the term RER and substitute train .

Grandes Lignes

Grandes Lignes is a catch-all term for the intercity and long-distance trains of France. Some trains using this glorious moniker are high-speed TGVs serving distant places like Bordeaux and Marseille. Gare Saint-Lazare services the nearby cities of Normandy; its Grandes Lignes trains get you to places like Caen and Le Havre. There are no TGV trains departing from Saint-Lazare.

Navigating gare saint-lazare.

Map of the tracks at Gare Saint-Lazare

View a large floor plan of Gare Saint-Lazare …

Gare Saint Lazare is found (naturally) on Rue Saint-Lazare in the 8th Arrondissement , equidistant from the Tuileries and Parc Monceau . At first view from Rue Saint-Lazare the station doesn't seem that big, but that's because most of the gare is obscured by the large hotel Hilton Paris Opera that sits in front. It's only when you step behind the hotel to the aptly name Rue Intérieure that runs between the hotel and the station that you get an idea of just how large Saint-Lazare is.

At either end of the hotel are two courtyards — Cour de Rome and Place du Havre . Most passengers enter through the doors opening onto those spaces. Inside, you have to run a gauntlet of retail shops before you reach the actual voies , or platforms. However, the open plan of the 2013-renovated station, with light wells and stairways, allows natural light from the large glass roof to reach all levels.

Once past the shopping onto the train level navigation is simplicity itself. The platforms are numbered 1 to 27, left to right and there's plenty of clear signage to tell you where to go and which voie your train will leave from. In here, too, large glass panels in the shed roof provide lots of natural light.

You Can Get There From Here

The area of France (in yellow) served by Gare Saint-Lazare

The name of the square outside the station, Place du Havre, gives the traveler a clue to the region Gare Saint-Lazare serves — the centers of Normandy along and near the tracks running to the Atlantic coast at Le Havre. For those interested in going farther afield than the suburbs of the Paris region (where most of the Saint-Lazare tracks run), here are a few details of where else you can go.

Local trains to Versailles-Rive Droite leave every 15 minutes from platforms 1 through 4. Trains boarding at platforms 18 to 27 head to Caen, Rouen, Dieppe, Le Havre, and Cherbourg. To get to Versailles, take the direct train from Gare Saint-Lazare to Versailles-Rive Droit. There's a train about every fifteen minutes. Afterwards, it's about a twenty-minute walk from the gare of Versailles to the Chateau de Versailles.

To get to the Normandy town of Giverny to see Monet's gardens , take the direct train from Gare Saint-Lazare to Vernon, the closest town, a forty-five minute trip. From there you can take a bus shuttle, walk, or flag a taxi at the train station. It's about an hour's walk to Giverny from the Vernon station.

Gare saint-lazare in the arts.

Le Pont de l'Europe, Gustave Caillebotte

During the heyday of Impressionism in Paris (1870-80s), many of the artists lived close to the Gare St-Lazare in a then new quartier known as Europe . Many of the district's streets were named for European cities — Londres, Moscou, Liege, Turin, Rome — and the center of the area was, and is, Place de l'Europe, with a Metro stop later adopting the district's name.

In the 1860s, a huge star-shaped iron bridge, Pont de l'Europe ,was built to connect a cluster of avenues above the railway tracks. The bridge, with its unique view of the train tracks, made it a favorite new place for Parisians to promenade and for painters to capture the flavor of Parisian life.

Le Chemin de Fer by Manet

Edouard Manet, the godfather of the Impressionists, lived nearby on Rue de Saint-Pétersbourg. His painting, Le Chemin de Fer (The Railway), was shown at the Paris Salon of 1874 and is one of the true masterpieces of the period. It was painted from the garden of a friend's house on nearby Rue de Rome. Gustave Caillebotte also lived nearby; he painted the bridge itself in Le Pont de l'Europe .

Gare Saint Lazare, Normandy Train, Claude Monet

By far the most famous paintings of Gare Saint-Lazare come from the master himself, Mr Impressionism, Claude Monet. In 1877, Monet also rented a studio on Rue de Saint-Pétersbourg; the same year he exhibited seven paintings of Gare Saint Lazare. This series of paintings, shown at the third Impressionist Exhibition , was his most famous work during his lifetime.

Derrière la Gare de Saint-Lazare (detail), Henri Cartier-Bresson

But it hasn't only been painters to capture the spirit of Gare Saint-Lazare. Emile Zola's 1890 novel, La Béte Humaine is based on the Paris-Le Havre railway and opens with a description of the station. French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson also did his part in capturing it in one of his most famous photographs, Derrière la Gare de Saint-Lazare (full size photo here ). The Musée d'Orsay and the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC once explored much of this in a joint exhibition called Manet, Monet, and Gare Saint-Lazare .
