How far is that festival from Gare du Nord Karine? There's a few of us coming over for it, if we survive Ibiza.
Do you know much about the venue?

Do you know much about the venue? From Gare du Nord you can take the RER B to "le Bourget" (20 minutes top) then you have a shuttle for the festival. The festival is in a HUGE park so don't be there too late : they are playing on the "Big stage" on friday at 22pm. Shuttle working from : Friday : 12h00 – 01h00 Saturday : 8h00 – 01h00 Sunday : 8h00 – 22h00 They're is a night bus even if you miss the last RER at the station "le Bourget" so you wont be stuck there. If you want to take a look at the festival itself http://fete.humanite.fr/You can also book online your ticket but I'm not sure it's working out from France (and I don't think it's necessary to be honest) http://fetehumanite2.fn...rvation/disponibilite.do You can even do camping there but I don't think anyone would be interested.

All the hotels near the park appear to be booked up, so we're staying as close to Gare du Nord as possible and taking the RER B & Shuttle. We're arriving after 4 nights in Mallorca and Ibiza (via Paris Orly) so god knows what state we'll be in by the time we arrive.
Karine - any idea what time the last RER B train returns from le Bourget to Gare du Nord?

Karine - any idea what time the last RER B train returns from le Bourget to Gare du Nord? If your hotel is close to Gare du Nord then there's another shuttle to the festival (until 3am not 1am like they annonced at first) from the metro "La-Courneuve-8-Mai-1945" (until 1h29) and just in case there is a night bus (N42) (every hour from the last metro). From there you can go back to Gare de l'Est which is next to Gare du Nord. Have a look at the RATP site if you want more informations about your travel http://www.ratp.fr/en/ratp/c_5000/accueil/P.S : I know it's look like a contradiction from what I told you before but from the metro you're closer to Paris I believe so you should try the second option at least to go back to your hotel because the metro stop later than the rer even if it takes a little more time.
