Parisians rely on the RER train network to navigate the city and its suburbs. Mastering the RER unlocks a more authentic travel experience, especially during events like the Olympics. Let’s navigate the RER like Parisians!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paris RER or R\u00e9seau Express R\u00e9gional is a regional train network that links the Parisian city center with its surrounding suburbs. In addition to the Paris Metro, the RER provides Parisians and tourists with a faster and more extensive transportation network, connecting the city centre to Charles de Gaulle Airport, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Disneyland Paris, and Versailles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paris RER, operated by RATP (Regie Autonome des Transports Parisiens), is integrated with the city’s Metro and bus systems, sharing a unified ticketing system. A single ticket is valid for travel within central Paris on the RER, Metro, and buses. These trains run from around 05:00 hours (local time), until 30 minutes past midnight, that is; 00:30 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the Right RER Line: Colors, Branches, and Destinations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The RER Paris has 5 train lines – RER A, RER B, RER C, RER D and RER E, that run across over 250 stations. The most popular lines for tourists are A, B and C. For example, RER A connects Disneyland Paris with the city centre, while RER B connects to the Charles de Gaulle Airport and RER C\u2019s destinations are Orly Airport and the Palace of Versailles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These train lines also have many branch lines. The letter (A-E) designates the line and the number (A1, A2, A3, etc.) designates the branch of the line. Travellers are advised to check the number relevant to their destination before boarding a train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RER’s five lines are also colour-coded to make life easier for tourists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
