City Hall

We recommend you come using public transportation. If you plan on coming by car, we recommend you park outside the city and get to the 14the arrondissement city hall using metro or RER. The closest stations are Mouton-Duvernet (350m) for the métro and Denfert-Rochereau (550m) for the RER.

You can use the transport system’s website to plan your trip. All Paris region transport tickets cost 2.55€, except tickets from either airport which cost 14€.

Getting there directly from airports and train stations

In case you plan to arrive in Paris on Saturday morning, here are some directions :

• From Roissy Charles de Gaule airport, take RER B to Denfert-Rochereau (about 45 min).
• From Orly airport, two options :
  • Orlyval, changing in Anthony for RER B to Denfert-Rochereau (about 25 min);
  • Métro 14, changing in Bercy for Métro 6 to Denfert-Rochereau (about 30 min). This lets you take line 6 which is an overground métro, and goes over the Seine on the Pont de Bercy, so this is clearly the superior option.
  • Of note : the Orlybus shuttle, which went directly to Denfert-Rochereau until 2025, has been discontinued.
• From Gare du Nord (including Eurostar trains from UK/Benelux/North Germany), take either :
  • RER B to Denfert-Rochereau (about 10 min);
  • Métro 4 to Mouton-Duvernet (about 20 min).
• From Gare de l’Est, take Métro 4 to Mouton-Duvernet (about 20 min).
• From Gare de Lyon, take Métro 14, changing in Bercy for Métro 6 to Denfert-Rochereau (about 20 min)
• From Gare de Bercy, take Métro 6 to Denfert-Rochereau (about 15 min)
• From Gare d’Austerlitz, take Métro 5, changing in Place d’Italie for Métro 6 to Denfert-Rochereau (about 15 min)
• From Gare Montparnasse :
  • you’re so close it’s simplest to walk down rue du Château (if exiting through the South entrance) or avenue du Maine (if existing through the North entrance) to the city hall (about 1km);
  • Métro 4 to Mouton-Duvernet is also an option, but you’ll probably waste more time reaching the métro station from the train station than it would have taken you to walk outside.
• From Gare St-Lazare, either :
  • take Métro 12 or 13 and change in Montparnasse-Bienvenüe for Métro 4 to Mouton-Duvernet (about 20 min)
  • take Métro 13 to Pernety and walk from there (about 15 min then 800m walk)

Clos du Colombier

The festivities will take place 50-ish kilometers from Paris. Parking space is available on site for people coming by car.

Unfortunately, the site is not easily reached using city transports. The closest station is at Marles-en-Brie, on line P of the regional train (transilien). We plan to organize shuttles so that people with (large) cars help bring others to the Clos du Colombier. We’ll send a survey form for that once we know who is coming to the wedding.

Sleeping

In a tent

The parking lot has some room, with grass, for about 20 tents. There is sadly not enough room for everyone, but we’ll take a headcount of people planning to sleep in a tent as the wedding date draw nearer

If you wish to sleep in your vehicle on the parking lot, you can of course do so.

In a real bed (hotels)

There are several hotels in the village of Fontenay-Trésigny (3km from the site). If you want a more high-end hotel, the Royaule des Lion in Lumigny-Nesles-Ormeaux is 6km from the site.
