Just a Short Train Ride Away!
For those looking to kick things off in the city of Paris, it’s easy to combine sightseeing in the City of Love with a visit to Disneyland Paris. Disneyland Paris is just a short train ride away! The Marne-la-Vallee-Chessy train station puts you in close proximity to the magic. It stops on the esplanade area that connects Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios park.
This makes it a breeze to go into the city for the day and come back for the fireworks at night — or spend the day in the parks and head over to the Eiffel Tower at sunset to watch the twinkling lights. It’s a game changer for exploring all that Paris has to offer.
