Connecting Trains.
On arriving in Paris, Eurostar stops at Gare du Nord. Your onwards train will depart from either Paris Bercy or Paris Lyon depending on where you want to get to. Fast and luxurious TGV trains bound for Dijon, Montbard, Chalon-sur-Saône, Beaune, Mâcon-TGV and Le Creusot-TGV depart from Gare de Lyon. This is on a direct RER line from the Gare du Nord.

Other Burgundy Stations.
Once in France, your best departure point for Sens and Laroche Migennes is Paris Bercy where you can take one of many regional train services running throughout the day. To reach Nevers you can take regular Intercity trains from the Gare de Lyon - the journey time from Gare de Lyon to Nevers is just under two hours.

Metro/RER Tickets.
To avoid queuing up for tickets or finding the right change when you are crossing Paris on public transport, you can buy a pack of 10 one way tickets before you travel. These packs, or ‘carnets’ are valid on the Paris Métro, RER and bus networks.

Taking Bicycles.
Some train services have capacity for taking bicycles on board. You will need to check at the time of booking as you may have to reserve places in advance or pay an additional charge. Alternatively, Burgundy is well served by bike rental shops so there is no need to transport your bike all the way. Ask at the local Tourist Office when you get there.
