Hotels in Gare Montparnasse
Montparnasse is the Paris terminus for the TGVs to Brittany, the Pays de la Loire and the South West, Bordeaux and Nantes included, plus the Transilien N toward Dreux, Rambouillet and Mantes-la-Jolie and the TER to Granville. It is built in three parts: Montparnasse I, the Porte Océane, facing the Tour Montparnasse; Montparnasse II, the Pasteur side, to the south; and Montparnasse III, Vaugirard, with four terminal tracks. For an early TGV I would sleep close to the main platforms rather than in Saint-Germain, which looks near on a map but adds a metro ride or a long walk. The Pullman and the Novotel are the obvious choices; the Hôtel Odessa is listed at an eight-minute walk. Two traps catch travellers. Trains on tracks 25 to 28, the TER to Centre-Val de Loire and Normandy, leave from the Vaugirard zone, reached by moving walkways from platform 24, so allow real extra time. And in the metro, Montparnasse-Bienvenüe is two stations joined by a long corridor: lines 6 and 13 are closest to the trains, while lines 4 and 12 lie at the end of a moving walkway.
Hotels near Gare Montparnasse sit on both sides of a very long station: the Porte Océane side faces the Tour Montparnasse and avenue du Maine, the Pasteur side opens to the south, and the Vaugirard platforms lie well beyond. The Pullman Paris Montparnasse and the Novotel Paris Centre Gare Montparnasse are the large hotels closest to the trains, while smaller addresses such as the Louison, in a 19th-century townhouse, spread into the 6th, 14th and 15th arrondissements.

Local tips
- ✓For the TER to Normandy or Centre-Val de Loire on tracks 25 to 28, follow the moving walkways from platform 24 to the Vaugirard zone, and leave extra time.
- ✓In the metro, lines 6 and 13 stop closest to the trains; lines 4 and 12 sit at the far end of a long corridor with a moving walkway.
- ✓The Tour Montparnasse stands opposite the Porte Océane side on avenue du Maine, the easiest landmark for meeting someone or finding a taxi.
- ✓A hotel in Saint-Germain-des-Prés is charming but rarely the closest to the platforms: count the metro ride or the walk before choosing it for a dawn TGV.
