Walk From St. Michel RER Station to Hotel?

Anyone know how long of a walk it is from the RER station at St. Michel to Rue de l%26#39;Ancienne Comedie (Hotel Left Bank Saint Germain)? I will be arriving this Friday morning after flight from the States and probably could use the stetch. Looks like a 10 minute walk (if we don%26#39;t get lost!) with small wheeled suitcases but if it is much longer might take metro to Odeon. Can%26#39;t wait for this Thursday to arrrive! Thanks.

Trace this route on your Paris street may (you have a good one already, right??). Come up onto the street at Petit Pont and walk west along the Left Bank of the Seine, with Notre Dame over your right shoulder, past Place Saint Michel to Pont Neuf and TURN LEFT onto rue Dauphine, heading away from the Seine. Walkd three blocks until you come to the carrefour de Buci (busy intersection with a daily street market. As you look clockwise into the Carrefour de Buci, the first street on your left (at 9 o%26#39;clock) will be rue Saint Andre des Arts, the second (at 11 o%26#39;clock) will be Rue de l%26#39;Ancienne Comedie.





An alternative route is to walk long the Seine to Place Saint Michel, then turn Left diagonally across the Square and find rue Saint Andre Des Arts a bit in, on the west side and walk along rue Saint Andre des Arts to Carefour de Buci and the first intersecting street on your left will be rue de l%26#39;Ancienne Comedie. If you;re looking for the HOTEL LEFT BANK SAINT GERMAIN, it will be half-way up the block, on your left.





In either case, I%26#39;d estimate the walk from the Saint Michel/Notre Dame RER station to rue de l%26#39;Ancienne Comedie to be approx. 15 minutes, at an %26#39;uncertain%26#39; pace.

Thanks! I noted the two routes you mentioned on the map. I%26#39;ll plan on a 15 min walk and will make walking/metro decision based on the weather Friday morning.
