However, only 500 metres apart, these stations are poorly connected to each other. The network of public spaces linking the two stations is now seen as relatively unsuitable: heavy car traffic, a steep difference in level between the stations with stairs that create difficulties for people with reduced mobility, passengers carrying luggage, inconspicuous signage, etc.

For Valérie Pécresse, President of the Île-de-France Region and Île-de-France Mobilités (formerly STIF): "The Gare du Nord is the first station in Europe, one of the main gateways to our territory. In a post-Brexit context, it is crucial for our attractiveness. As a major hub for the daily travel of Ile-de-France residents, it is crucial that coherence with the Gare de l'Est is deepened and that the whole fits perfectly, with better readability, into the public transport offer. »

This project therefore aims to create an easy link between the stations, but also to create a legible whole, a transport "hub" within revalued public spaces.

Île-de-France Mobilités (formerly STIF), the State, the Île-de-France Region, the City of Paris and the SNCF invite station users, local residents, employees, associations and all the stakeholders concerned to get information during several highlights.
