Gare Montparnasse: Plan Your Journey to Western France
Paris-Montparnasse is a major departure point for Brittany, the Loire region, and southwestern France. Whether you are catching a train or continuing your trip after arrival, plan your station access, connection time, and meeting point in advance.
Destinations and Train Times
Bordeaux, Rennes, Nantes, La Rochelle, Brest, and Quimper are among the destinations served from Montparnasse, depending on the available trains. Travel times and frequencies vary by date, stops, and service. Check your ticket and SNCF Connect for your actual journey.
The station handles high-speed trains, regional services, and Transilien Line N. Check the hall and platform on the station displays. Walking between station areas takes time, especially with luggage.
Getting to the Station
Montparnasse-Bienvenüe is served by Métro Lines 4, 6, 12, and 13. Buses, taxi ranks, parking facilities, and drop-off areas provide additional ways to reach the station. There is no direct RER or tram stop at the station.
For a train departure, choose your pickup time with road traffic, the walk to your platform, and the operator’s boarding requirements in mind. Road travel time cannot be guaranteed.
Transfers to Orly and Charles de Gaulle Airports
A prebooked private transfer can connect the station with your airport terminal. Provide your train and flight numbers, passenger count, and luggage details. Leave enough time between a train arrival and a flight departure.
Public transportation to Orly may involve a connection to Métro Line 14. Orlybus stopped operating on March 3, 2025. Check the RATP journey planner for your travel date and any engineering work; see the official Orlybus closure information.
Station Services and the Surrounding Area
The station offers waiting areas, shops, and luggage services. Check availability and opening hours before you travel. If you need assistance, arrange it with the relevant rail service in advance.
The Montparnasse neighborhood offers hotels, restaurants, and business destinations. Check your hotel’s exact address and walking route before booking; a hotel name does not guarantee that it is next to your arrival hall.
