mate its a conservative ten min walk you can do it in bout six if there is not a lot of pearly kings and queens dancing up and down euston road which is often the case in my experience champagne bar is worth a look as well

Even if you have cases, the walk is so short that a taxi just isn't worth the money.

Are you staying in Paris?
If so, I camped there for nearly 4 years.
I'm a bit of an alternative tourist travel boff to the place.
Feel free to ask, and mind the dog shit ;)

You'll be alright mate.
Parisians are a funny bunch, they hate each other.
Even PSG have rival fans.
Once you get into the sticks you'll be alright, that's real France, and the people are fine.
It's the Paris holidays at the moment, and the place closes down for the whole of August. They all disappear to places like the Loire Valley!
Fortunately they'll all have returned to Paris before you arrive.

Bon Vacances
