Railway station Nord-Pas-de-Calais

Superb station in the Parisian style, and for good reason: it is the former Gare du Nord of the capital, completely dismantled and rebuilt in Lille. It hosts all the TER Nord-Pas-de-Calais, the Belgian connections to Ostend, Antwerp, Tournai, Mons... Almost all the TGV trains to the Gare du Nord in Paris leave from there. The metro is free to the Lille-Europe station upon presentation of your SNCF ticket. Modern and pleasant, the station is home to many stores including the famous Fnac and Nespresso.

In the modern district of Euralille, the Lille-Europe station welcomes international TGV trains to and from Northern Europe, the Thalys and Eurostar, TGV trains from all over France and inter-regional TGV trains. The metro is free of charge between Lille-Flandre and Lille-Europe stations on presentation of your connecting SNCF ticket - even if it takes only ten minutes on foot to get from one station to the other. On site, newspapers, snacks and other practical services are waiting for you to wait for your train to arrive.

Two stations serve Boulogne-sur-Mer: one on the banks of the Liane, boulevard Voltaire, and the other, older, near the town center, gare des Tintelleries, rue de Belterre. The main station (boulevard Voltaire) is open until 9.40pm and serves Paris and Lille via the TGV line, as well as Amiens, Calais and Rang-du-Fliers via the TER network. For information, the ticket office is open from 9am to 5:15pm, Monday to Saturday. The Tintelleries station is the gateway to the region's TER network.

Located near the city center, the Douai SNCF train station is very convenient for exploring the city and the Douaisis region as soon as you get off the train! In a few minutes, and taking advantage of the free bus service developed by the agglomeration, you can find yourself at the foot of the slag heaps or in an amazingly beautiful pastoral setting. Otherwise, parks and belfries are available to you after a short (but beautiful) walk. Douai is very well served: take advantage of it to offer yourself a northern and offbeat citytrip to discover the city!

There are a few SNCF machines and you can rent a car within a few seconds on foot under the Notice.

Étaples (or Étaples-Le Touquet) station is one of the ideal stations to reach the Opal Coast: it is indeed served by both TER (regional express train) and TGV (high speed train). A parking lot has been built around the station and a bicycle park is also available to facilitate soft mobility. The ticket offices are open every day and automatic terminals are available for travelers to buy tickets easily.

A very practical station to arrive on the Opal Coast. It is served by TGV from Paris, but also by TER from Lille, Arras or Calais and Amiens. It is very convenient to get around in the region. In the station, you will find all the expected services: a small mini-market, ticket machines, a ticket office and information. Now you can enjoy beautiful stays on the coast or inland, discovering Dunkerque and all the wonders of Flanders Maritime. So don't hesitate any longer and get on the next train!
