Where is the Gare du Nord taxi station?

Accepted answer

If you read French / have google translate handy, you can find the information you seek on the SNCF Stations page for Gare du Nord here. It even includes a photo! The key bit is:

Localisation

Station de taxis sur le parvis de la gare -> Cour des taxis Rue de Dunkerque

The taxi rank is located near the Eurostar platforms, at the South West corner of the station, by Rue de Dunkerque.

As you come off a Eurostar, turn right when you exit the platform into the main area, and walk out of the exit straight ahead of you. The taxi rank is right there. You may have to queue, especially if you're towards the back of a Eurostar, but you don't normally need to book

Otherwise, outside of the very busiest times, you'll find taxis outside the main station entrance on Place Napoléon III / Rue de Dunkerque.

I've found the taxis pretty reliable, but they can get expensive, and as one comment indicated you can get the odd bad one.

Why not consider using the Paris Metro. It is quick, reliable and goes most places you would want to go as a visitor. It is easy and quite cheap to use, and few locations are further than a couple of hundred metres from the nearest Metro station.

You can't really miss the queue, you'll see them easily while getting outside.

Then yes you can pick a taxi in the street without queuing if he is available (green light on).

The taxi queue isn't reserved to train customers, anybody can get into it.
