Transportation from Paris to Le Havre w/ Luggage??

[robin13]

Does anyone know the easiest way to get to Le Havre to catch a ship with luggage?  Flying into Paris a few days earlier and will need to find a way to the port.

Train, if you can manage your luggage.

As above, train then taxi from le Havre train station to the port.

Two reasonably priced options.  The train or the Flixbus.  Once at Le Havre it is a short taxi ride to the port or a pre-cruise hotel.  Also keep in mind that the trains all depart from the St-Lazare Station and you would probably need a taxi to that station and than have to hike through the large station and to the tracks, dragging your own luggage.  You also need to get your own luggage on and off trains.

The quickest and questionably '..easiest way..' between Paris and Le Havre will be an SNCF train-- https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/ -- from PARIS--Gare Saint Lazre station to LE HAVRE. The train travel time between PARIS--Gare Saint Lazare and Le Havre will be appprox. 2:15--2:30 hours.

Transfer between the train station in La Havre to the Le Havre cruise port terminal may be done via public bus (not really a prospect while toting luggage) or via regular metered taxi from the taxi rank from train station to cruise port in approx. 5-6 mins...fare approx. 7-8 €

 

As noted above, you will probably need to take a taxi from your hotel in Paris to Gare Saint Lazare and carry your luggage from the curb, through the train station to the platform for your trian...then reverse this between train and taxi rank once at Le Havre. There are also Metro and public bus connections to Gare Saint Lazere but toting luggage on the Metro or bus through Paris probably is a non-starter..
