If (and this sounds unlikely) the journey went outside the City of Paris
itself (ie outside the "75" departement, roughly enclosed by the
boulevard peripherique) then the meters don't apply and the fare should
be agreed first.

I would very much doubt if either Gare d'Austerlitz or Gare du Nord were
out of town; they're the rough equivalents of Euston and Victoria,
aren't they?

Thanks.
