ENST
is
located
in the southern part of Paris, in the "Butte aux
Cailles" (hill of quails) district. "Butte aux Cailles" is one of the
old quarters and the third highest hill in Paris. The area has a
``village'' atmosphere with a pedestrian quarter and many pubs and
restaurants. ENST is also 15 minutes walk from China Town and 15 minutes
by bus (line 21) from the
Latin Quarter.
The Metro and Suburban railway system (RER) ENST is within 7 minutes walk from the "CORVISART" metro station (on line 6). In Paris the metro and the suburban commuter (RER) are interconnected; you can travel from one system to the other with the same ticket. However, while any trip on the metro system costs one ticket, the price of the trip on the RER system depends on the distance covered. How to reach ENST from Paris airports There are two international airports that serve Paris: Orly and Charles de Gaulle (CDG).
