Trains are Line B of the RER system and run at least every 15 minutes. They alternate between fast and slow trains. All trains stop at the key stations in Central Paris, the slow trains stop at about 6 or 7 additional stations in the suburbs.
The key stations for visitors are Gare Du Nord, Chatelet and St Michel. Each of these stations are vast transport interchanges, self contained communities in their own right. You will have to walk reasonably long distances, even if you are just interchanging to a Metro from the same station

Journey time will be about 25 minutes to Gare Du Nord, 35 minutes

RER Map & Finding Your Way Around
Paris uses a zonal system with six circular zones radiating out from the centre. Zone 1 is where nearly all hotels are and where all the city centre sights are located. The Paris Metro system is largely confined to just zones 1 and 2.
The zones are clearly marked on the RER map, (see link right).
The fare you pay for each journey is determined by the number of zones you pass through.
