It's walkable from la Gare du Nord. It's not exactly outskirts either. (Google says 40 minutes. That's certainly within my scale of walkable, although likely I'd prefer other transport in one hit. But I remember that when I went to Les Journées Perl 2004, I was staying in a hotel roughly midway, so walked to it from Gare du Nord, and walked from the hotel to the venue) I like things that are convenient for la Gare du Nord. I'm biased :-) Nicholas Clark
