You can catch this train from ''Gare du Nord''. This option requires a '''1-3 zones ticket''', without this ticket you will have to jump over the turnstiles to get out of the station of your destination (or talk your way out or closely follow someone else with a valid ticket).
Read this carefully because if you don't, it can be hard to find it and the local people definitely won't know where this is or how to get there by foot! Once at the ''Parc des Sports'' bus stop, the highway (A1) is right in front of you can see the main road if you look in the driving direction of the buswas driving. (There's another road behind it that resembles a highway, but this is just an onramp.) This is the road highway that you want to follow to the easteastward. Basically you just walk to the right from the bus stop in the driving direction, without ever passing under the road. Follow along the road and walk east parallel to the motorway, through the parking lots of an apartment complex. There is a wall preventing access to the motorway, but if you continue walking a few hundred metres east and up a slight grassy hill, the wall ends. You can then follow a steep, thorny path full of nettles down towards the motorway and back west towards the petrol station. There is a fence right along the motorway, but near the petrol station it has been trampled down and you can step over it.
From the petrol station, most drivers are only going to the airport or local communities. You should ask for a lift at least to the [[toll station]] (''péage'') heading north. This is a 20-minute drive down the motorway (some kilometres after the airport) and everyone has to stop here. It is a great place to get long-distance rides.
