I spent a while shuttling between various industrial sites around
Paris and the RER really is a boon for that: in London it would

Chatelet is so spread out that the idea of "one quick change" is a bit
implausible.

The RER platforms are close together; in one direction it's cross-platform
for a N-S to E-W change (line A to B/D) and in the other it's at the next
platform. But by 'quick change' I was really meaning that the frequency on
the RER is such that you rarely have to wait long for a train.

But I agree that if you need to change to the Metro it's a bit of a hike,
and as for Gare du Nord ...
