In brief
The route is two train legs: RER A from Marne-la-Vallée Chessy to Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, then metro line 6 to Bir-Hakeim, by the Eiffel Tower. Both legs run on one ordinary ticket, €2.55 (€1.30 reduced). The RER A leg alone runs about 35 minutes from Nation station. No official fare is published for a taxi on this route.
- RER A runs from Marne-la-Vallée Chessy through Nation to Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, both stops shown on the line’s own official map2.
- Metro line 6 connects at Charles de Gaulle–Étoile and reaches Bir-Hakeim, marked on the network’s own map as the interchange for the “Champ de Mars – Tour Eiffel” stop4.
- One ordinary Metro-Train-RER ticket (€2.55, or €1.30 reduced) covers the whole trip3.
- The RER A ride alone runs about 35 minutes from Nation station, according to Disneyland Paris1.
- No official source states a taxi or private-transfer fare for this specific route.

The short answer
| If you are… | Do this |
|---|---|
| Comfortable with one change of train | RER A to Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, then metro line 6 to Bir-Hakeim124 |
| Traveling with a stroller or heavy luggage | Consider a private transfer instead, since both legs involve stairs at older stations |
| Arriving late at night, after RER A’s last trains | A taxi or a pre-booked private transfer |
| Heading to central Paris generally, not specifically the Tower | RER A to Châtelet-Les Halles or Gare de Lyon, both on the same line2 |
The train route, step by step
Leg 1: RER A from Marne-la-Vallée Chessy. Marne-la-Vallée Chessy is RER A’s eastern terminus, right at the Disneyland Paris entrance12. The line’s own map, published by Île-de-France Mobilités, shows it running west through Val d’Europe, Torny, Noisiel, Vincennes, Nation, Gare de Lyon, Châtelet-Les Halles, Auber, and on to Charles de Gaulle–Étoile before continuing to La Défense2. Disneyland Paris’s own FAQ states the RER A trip takes about 35 minutes from Nation station specifically, calling it “the most comfortable and fastest way to reach Disneyland Paris from Paris” in the reverse direction1. Charles de Gaulle–Étoile sits several stops beyond Nation, so budget more than 35 minutes for the full ride out to Étoile; neither Disneyland Paris nor Île-de-France Mobilités publishes an exact figure for that longer distance.
Leg 2: metro line 6 to Bir-Hakeim. Île-de-France Mobilités’ own line 6 map shows Charles de Gaulle–Étoile as the line’s starting point, running through Kléber, Boissière, Trocadéro, and Passy before reaching Bir-Hakeim, five stops along4. The same map marks Bir-Hakeim with a connecting corridor to “Champ de Mars – Tour Eiffel,” the RER C stop that sits closest to the monument4. Bir-Hakeim itself is already within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, across the Pont de Bir-Hakeim.
An alternative: get off at Trocadéro. Trocadéro, one stop before Bir-Hakeim on the same line 6 route, faces the Eiffel Tower from across the Seine4. Neither Île-de-France Mobilités nor any monument page states which stop gives a better view or a shorter walk to the ticket entrances, so this page does not rank one over the other.
Why Charles de Gaulle–Étoile and not Nation. Nation is the station Disneyland Paris uses for its published 35-minute example, and it is also on metro line 614. But the line runs in a broad arc through the south and west of the city between its two ends, Nation and Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, so continuing from Nation toward Bir-Hakeim means riding most of that arc4. Staying on RER A a few stops further, to Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, puts you at the short end of line 6, five stops from Bir-Hakeim, rather than the long way around24.
Fare. Both legs run on Île-de-France Mobilités’ ordinary Metro-Train-RER single ticket, €2.55 full price or €1.30 reduced, which the authority describes as valid throughout Île-de-France3. A visitor making several trips that day may find an all-zones Navigo Day pass (€12.30) or a multi-day Paris Visite pass better value; the fare-comparison detail is covered in the transit pass guide.
Taxi and private transfer
Neither Disneyland Paris’s own site nor Île-de-France Mobilités publishes a fare or journey time for a taxi between Disneyland Paris and the Eiffel Tower. The government’s official flat (“forfait”) taxi fares apply only to trips between the airports and central Paris, not to this route, so expect a metered fare for the roughly 45 km between the resort and central Paris; see the transit pillar’s taxi section for the airport flat-fare figures and the meter caps that would apply here1.
Tours worth considering

The train route above is the cheapest and, once you know the two legs, a straightforward way to cover this distance. A paid private transfer earns its price in two cases:
- You are traveling with young children, a stroller, or heavy luggage and want to avoid two changes of train. See private van transfers between Paris, the airports and Disneyland Paris.
- You are leaving Disneyland Paris late, after the parks close, when RER A service is winding down for the night. A pre-booked transfer avoids relying on a train timetable that late in the evening. See private transfers between Paris, the airports and Disneyland Paris.
Skip a paid transfer if you are traveling light: the two-leg train route uses regular Paris transit tickets and does not require a reservation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a direct train from Disneyland Paris to the Eiffel Tower?
How long does it take from Disneyland Paris to the Eiffel Tower?
Which metro stop is closest to the Eiffel Tower?
Île-de-France Mobilités’ own metro line 6 map marks Bir-Hakeim as the interchange point for “Champ de Mars – Tour Eiffel,” the RER C stop nearest the monument; Trocadéro, one stop earlier on the same line, also faces the Tower across the Seine4.
Can I use the same ticket for both legs of the trip?
Yes. The ordinary Metro-Train-RER single ticket, or any all-zones Navigo or Paris Visite pass, covers RER A and the Paris Métro on the same fare, since Île-de-France Mobilités describes the single ticket as valid throughout the network3.
Does the RER A run late enough for an evening return from the Eiffel Tower?
Disneyland Paris’s own site does not publish RER A’s first and last train times, so check the current schedule before relying on a late return.
Should I get off RER A at Nation or Charles de Gaulle–Étoile?
