Paging the Frenchies

very easy indeed.

http://www.citefutee.com/orienter/rer.php# and click on "le plan des
reaseaux RER". You will be located at Marne La Valle Chessy - terminal
A4 on the Red line.

Chatelet is the central hub of the RER network but there are connections
to Metro lines at all of the central area stops.

From memory it is about 45 mins from Marne La Valle to central Paris.

The real key to getting round by Metro is to remember the line number
and the name of the last station for the direction you are travelling in
- for example Line 1 direction La Defense. It is not like the
Underground where you are directed by northbound, southbound and then a
line name. I got hopelessly lost in Paris the very first time I used the
Metro because I had assumed it would be just like London's tube. How
wrong I was.

On the RER remember the line letter - in your case A - and then the
terminal. Also and this is important if you making other trips on the
RER there are different service patterns on the same line. The patterns
all have a code e.g. VICK which is shown on the front of the train and
on platform displays. The platform electronic displays and the
timetables on the platform show you what codes stops where. Some codes
only apply on certain days because there are different rush hour
patterns. However all stops in the central area are served and it is
only if travelling to the suburbs where you have to watch out. You
should be fine because you are going right to the end of a branch when
you return to ED.

Click on "plan du quartier" for Marne La Vallee station on the web page
I provided above and you get an interactive map of the area by the
station showing all the disneyland buildings close by.

Have fun.

[rer codes]

yes that works too but I think the codes are quite a neat idea once
you've learnt the ones you want. This avoids the need to scan what can
be a very long list of stations for some journeys - especially if the
bloody train is in the platform
