Be very very careful with the pick pocketer gang. Very much screwed up people. I almost lost my wallet, but realised and recovered quick in time to see a hand moving inside my jacket pocket. Huge and absolutely well maintained as per the amount of passengers it sees everyday. There are many shops, stores, bakery and restaurants all over the station. Locker rooms are available for the luggage storage. Escalators and lifts are there. Very well marked for the directions. Neat and clean platforms.

The old building looks great. Inside is easy to get the right direction to the train or metro to the city. There are also a lot of food or drink stations. The only one thing which was missing to me was not enough USB charging stations. I was there during the puck time about 15:00 and when I finally found some electricity plug it doesn't work. This is kinda picky. Anyway, thank you for all.

(Translated by Google) A big thank you to the station security team who helped prevent my daughter from being attacked. After my call to report the individual, the security of the station immediately went to the platform where my daughter was getting off and called out to the fat man. Without their efficiency and responsiveness, I don't know if this story would have ended well. Thanks again to them. (Original) Un grand merci à l'équipe de la sûreté de la gare qui ont permis d'éviter à ma fille de se faire agresser. Après mon appel pour signaler l'individu, la sûreté de la gare s'est immédiatement rendu sur le quai où descendait ma fille et ont interpellé le gros vicieux. Sans leur efficacité et leur réactivité, je ne sais pas si cette histoire se serait bien terminée. Merci en core à eux.

Well Serviced Railway station with plenty of shops, cafes, stores with all the essentials for travel. The metro connects immediately underneath with multiple lines from connecting stations. There are plenty of escalators and lifts to assist with mobility impaired and your heavy luggage. There is toilet facilities although you will be charged for the convenience. The entrance to the toilet is manned and you can use your credit card, smartphone or cash for payment. Because the station is so busy at times you might find it hard to find a seat unless you take an opportunity to use one of the many cafes, including Starbucks, McDonalds, or one of the many specialty cafes. There is taxis waiting out front to provide services, but be warned unauthorized cab scammers are waiting to pounce on the unexpected. As most of Paris rail there is plenty of announcements warning customers to be wary of pickpockets. There is armed military patrolling the station with plenty of French speaking security guards. There are plenty of easy to read train departure screens display your trains destination, platform, and its departure time. If traveling via EuroRail it’s a good idea to book your ticket; and seat allocation, online prior, and then activating (on the “RailPlanner” App) once you arrival at the station. You can even activate your “RailPlanner” ticket when you are seated on the train.

Fairly central and huge train Station of Paris. From Gare de l'Est station trains are heading to east of France, Germany, Luxembourg. Beautiful architecture and location. Loved the cafe's and restaurants. Had an amazing time exploring Paris. Love to visit back this historic Site.

Be sure to "validate" your ticket at the free-standing yellow printers BEFORE boarding the train. They look like big yellow hand sanitizer machines in the USA. Place the end of the ticket with the space on the end, face up. Plenty of great places to eat. Your train platform number will appear on the electronic board about 20 minutes prior to your disembarkation time. Look for train car number on left of printed ticket, and match it to electronic number on side of train car. Your seat number is on the right side of your ticket. Bathrooms are available on the train (rather than pay in station). Go first class if you can. WiFi available on train login with the 6-digit letters on right side of ticket and use last name only in "name field." I hope this information helps!

Clean, open and grand feel all adds to the positive feeling here. Not all shops were open before 7:30am but that's to be expected. Check-in was easy and staff were polite and helpful. Specific platform will be advised 20min prior to the trains departure. We came in via the main entry using the stairs, but there was a steel ramp for luggage to roll up which made it nice and easy

I actually liked the station, it has some shops inside, including my favorite, a small fnac, and it was pretty easy to navigate within the station

We came to this station from Munich on a direct train. The station was fairly small as we were already outside once we walked down the platform. The inside looked like a station but was a bit smaller. The outside was quite nice as it looked almost like a greenhouse with the windows on the front. There is also a statue on top of the station. It was a nice station with bus stops close by for transfers, although we didn't use them as there was a strike at the time.

Modernistic old world charm. This East station is ergonomically designed with lots of shops cafe etc. Well structured train platform at a single level makes boarding easy, and the metro 🚇 station is located at basement level 1 to connect to the various parts of Paris

The station is really beautiful, finding your way here is easy with plenty of directional boards showing the way. Due to recent terroristic actions, all stations have strict rules about bagage. When i took a train here, there was unattended bagage near a platform. The station was evicted and we had to wait for the calamity officers to check if there was any danger with the bagage. It was false alarm gladly. Trains got a lot of delay or got cancelled. I think its good to be better safe then sorry. So i'll say it to everyone visiting france. NEVER LEAVE YOUR BAGGAGE ALONE!

Gare de l'Est is a charming train station with a clean and elegant ambiance, offering a diverse selection of dining options, including restaurants, fast food outlets, food kiosks, and cafes. To avoid long lines at the ticket machines, I recommend to purchase your metro tickets in advance.

In my opinion, one of the best stations in Paris. There are quite the options and choices of shops especially considering it’s smaller size compared to other way bigger stations. But because of how less crowded this station is, I find it more enjoyable and more pleasant.

Although the station is huge and well maintained, I had the most distasteful experience while waiting for the station to open. We were told to reach to the station 90 mins before our train ride to Stuttgart and when we arrived at the station it was closed. Leaving us outside to deal with the slummy area in Paris. A man riding on a bike, rode pass my 5 friends and I and proceeded to spit in our direction and shout racial slurs. After which, bombs started approaching us and asking for money, making our time there unbearable. If traveling through this station, please be careful.

If I could rate this 1 trillion stars I would. I had lost my purse on the train and a worker went above and beyond helping me find it again. A++ service and the trains themselves are easy to navigate and kept clean.

The Gare de l'Est, officially Paris-Est, is one of the six large SNCF termini in Paris. It is in the 10th arrondissement, not far from the Gare du Nord, facing the Boulevard de Strasbourg, part of the north-south axis of Paris created by Baron Haussmann. It is one of the largest and the oldest railway stations in Paris, the western terminus of the Paris–Strasbourg railway and the Paris–Mulhouse railway. The Gare de l'Est was opened in 1849 by the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de Paris à Strasbourg (the Paris-Strasbourg Railway Company) under the name "Strasbourg platform." This platform corresponds today with the hall for main-line trains, and was designed by the architect François Duquesnay. It was renamed the "Gare de l'Est" in 1854, after the expansion of service to Mulhouse.

(Translated by Google) Very well organized with several food courts and easy access with several hotels and restaurants in its vicinity ... don't do like me ... don't leave to buy at the last minute ... it was very expensive, we were going to Munich .. it was worth it because we wanted to ride the bullet train.

(Translated by Google) Great (Original) Super

Some pocket thiefs stoled my phone. By carefull people your belongings.

Most of the long distance trains land here but be careful when using metro from this station to travel to other places. Do not board in to over crowded compartments and certain gangs will round you up intentionally and try to push back/forth in the sake of moving metro and will try to grab the things out of your pocket … I had similar experience and advise everyone to be careful to have a peaceful trip …

It’s a nice building and the platforms are rather easy to find. This station serves the east of France and destinations in southern Germany. If you arrive here from those places you might want to stay in Paris or use it as an interchange. If your next train is from Gare du Nord I would recommend you to just walk there as it’s pretty much just around the corner (6-8 minutes) and you don’t have to pay a metro ticket although alternatively you obviously can do so as there is a line connecting the two stations.

I have been here a couple of times during September 2022. I have never seen an underground railway/metro station like this in my entire life. It's huge huge and huge. Amazing infrastructure, very well organized, neat and clean. And it's busy like hell. You will see people around you running and walking. As a tourist, I felt like I was lost. There are signs everywhere but because of the language sometimes I found it difficult to find my path. However, it was a nice experience and I will never forget this part of my memory. This is one of the central stations of Paris. It has small shops, restaurants, ticket counters, ATM Booths and toilets.

(Translated by Google) Superb Parisian station. (Original) Superbe gare parisienne.

This train station has everything you need, ranging from shops for everyday needs to food and miscellaneous stuff. The station is being kept clean and is wide and spacious enough for you to have room to breath instead of being squished together like an oversized, human sandwich. ;) I liked it!

A lot of food stores to grab and go. Q is clearing fast, easy to buy, order, tab/pay, and grab and go. Especially convenient during the rush hour

(Translated by Google) It is one subway station from the north station, but it can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot. I think it's good to walk in the daytime. I used East Station when I went to Nancy. This station is used to travel to eastern France, Germany and Luxembourg. (Original) 北駅から地下鉄で一駅ですが、徒歩でも10分程で行けます。昼間なら歩くのも良いと思います。東駅はナンシーへ行く時に使いました。フランス東部、ドイツやルクセンブルク方面へ移動するのに使う駅です。

A neat and clean railway station with all facilities for passengers to travel to any destination. Good service with automatic ticket vending machines. Customer friendly staffs. Parking available for bikes and cars. Highly recommended for family and friends to travel to places around.

Small and convenient. Their are cafes, small Monoprix supermarket for snacks and some brand stores. McDonald's is close right now due to Corona. Systematic checking and queues for getting in trains.

(Translated by Google) Very nice historic station 😊 (Original) Très belle gare historique 😊

Small but very well connected train station with plenty of services

Crowded and long queue. Inefficient. Should have some staff here to manage the flow and helping to buy ticket at the counter

(Translated by Google) Well located, close to Gare du Nord. (Original) Ben situata ,vicino a Gare du Nord.

EndOfLine train station for intercity travel between Paris and other cities to the east. Nice Cafe s and nice information display to learn where you must go. Using the washroom will cost you 1€.

Big HUB - but ticket lines can be horribly long (wait for 45 minutes?) there are some staff to help and when you find them - they are very good - but not always easy to find. sometimes i felt I had to search for a sign. clean (at least compaired to NYC subways).

An architecturally pleasing yet well-modernised European station. The information boards were clear, up to SNCF standard, and the ticket barriers worked fine. However they should announce the platform number sooner and not immediately before the departure - 15m prior to the train's departure is far too late to fully board a crowded high-speed service.

A train station close to many tourist spots like the Lurve museum. There are lots of hotels and restaurants near by. There are some halal places to eat as well. Its a great happening place.

Big and crowded station. Easy accessible for all. Friendly staffs but shops inside station are too expensive. Be aware of pickpocketing.

I bought the card Navigo decouverte at the metro stop. The lady at the ticket office was kind and issued the card immediately. I did not know there are Navigo agency at the major station, so I just asked to the metro ticket office. Please don't forget to have your ID photo to issue the Navigo card. Gare de l'Est was less busy than Gare Du Nord but still better to pay attention your belongings.

The station is clean, upgraded and accessible. Charging 1 euro to use a only moderately clean and poorly smelling toilette is really a terrible practice and almost unseen anywhere in the world these days.

It’s a thief’s paradise, where they are roaming freely and happily. The police at the station is the worst of all in the whole world, that you will ever meet. They are useless and very unsupportive if anything happens.

Nice station but overpriced. Convenient ATM machine. The problem was the helpdesk. Because of the train strike I had to exchange my ticket. She spoke to me in English.. but the moment I asked where I could get my refund.. she only spoke French! The trip to Frankfurt from here was very easy. I would do it again.

Clean and easy to find your way around and there are some shops and restaurants in the main lobby to help kill the time while waiting.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Parisian station heading east (Nancy for us!). Free minute drop-off (5 minutes), the time needed to drop off a traveler!

(Translated by Google) Huge train station for Metro, RER, TGV and others. There are shops, cafes (expensive). In front of the entrance there is a fenced park with a playground for children.

(Translated by Google) Good station, train on time to Strasbourg, well served by transport. Well maintained from what I saw, only notable concern it's cold but I don't think we can change anything. In front of places such as burger king and carrefour city at 2 minutes really excellent. (Original) Bonne gare, train à l'heure pour Strasbourg, bien desservie en transport. Bien entretenue de ce que j'ai vu, seul soucis notable il fait froid mais je pense pas qu'on puisse y changer quelque chose.

(Translated by Google) Gare de l'Est, one of the largest train stations in Ile de France. The population that circulates there is diverse and varied but pickpockets are legion. Large building with several shops inside, overpriced, but which have the merit of existing. Allows to serve all of eastern France, its access by various public transport, it can be easily accessed even if the metro lines that cross it are also not the best frequented. The infrastructure is pretty all the same, a little glance is still worth the detour! (Original) La gare de l'Est, une des plus grande gare ferroviaire d'île de France. La population qui y circule est diverse et variée mais les pickpockets sont légions. Grand bâtiment avec plusieurs commerces dedans, hors de prix, mais qui ont le mérite d'exister. Permet de desservir tout l'est de la France, son acces par les différents transports en commun, on peut facilement y accéder même si les lignes de métro qui la traverse ne sont la aussi pas les mieux fréquentées. L'infrastructure est jolie tout de même, un petit coup d'oeil vaut quand même le detour !

(Translated by Google) I really like this station its architecture Very lively and lively station The billboards are clearly indicated and the audio announcements in several languages I took it from 1980 to 1981 when I was doing my military service in Germany in Baden-Baden I took the Orient Express train 263 which left track 8 at 11:15 p.m. and went to Budapest or the military train at 11:24 p.m. track 12 bound for Karlsruhe or the last one at 00:23 Are there still night trains and is Paris Moscow still running? Will there be other night trains planned for Paris Est? (Original) J' aime beaucoup cette gare son architecture Gare très vivante et animée Les panneaux d affichages sont bien indiquées et les annonces sonores en plusieurs langues Je l ai prise de 1980 a 1981 quand je faisais mon service militaire en Allemagne a Baden-Baden je prenais le train Orient Express 263 qui partait voie 8 a 23h15 et allait jusqu'à Budapest ou le train militaire de 23h24 voie 12 a destination de Karlsruhe ou encore le dernier a 00h23 Y a t il toujours des trains de nuit et le Paris Moscou fonctionne t il toujours ? Y aura t il d autres trains de nuit de prévus sur Paris Est de prévus ?

(Translated by Google) I like the architectural ensemble. (Original) J'aime bien l'ensemble architectural.

(Translated by Google) A disaster ! Do not ask the station staff for advice, they will send you for a walk. And when you buy a ticket, the gates cannot take your ticket, you will have to make a long queue to then ask for a voucher .... The sncf has not yet passed 1900 visibly. (Original) Une catastrophe ! Ne demandez surtout pas un conseil au personnel de gare, ils vous enverront balader. Et quand vous achetez un billet, les portiques ne peuvent pas prendre votre billet, vous devrez faire une longue file d'attente pour demander ensuite une contremarque....La sncf n'a pas encore passé 1900 visiblement.

(Translated by Google) Too many docks leaving towards the East, I am in the West.

Lorraine is totally forgotten otherwise, it goes directly to Alsace and then to Germany. (Original) Trop de quais partants vers l'Est, je suis à l'Ouest.

(Translated by Google) Spotting is not too difficult (Original) Le repérage n’est pas trop difficile

1) Toilet opens at 6 o’clock, this information is on the door and what do you think? It’s 6:30, I have an hour before my train and every time you need to go down and check if it’s already open or not, with all your bags, because there are thief’s on this station. There is only one WC for the whole station. 2) Chargers on the table don’t working, it doesn’t matter which kind of phone you have - they just don’t working, as well as for computer. 3) where is security? When you sitting on the chair, trying to connect to the WiFi and someone in front of you taking some pills and then began talking to you, and for everybody it’s normal? 4) If you have baggage you can leave it here, but in case you have train at 23 o’clock or at 5 in the morning-you can’t get your baggage back, because this locker works from 7:30 until 23:00, so if you forget to take your things out before they will close - you just don’t have your baggage anymore. I’m not satisfied with this train station.
