You can walk - the two stations are at opposite sides of the river, but not very far apart. More practically (if you have luggage) you can go by bus - number 61 does the trip in 5 minutes. As you leave the station, you'll find local plans posted to show you where the bus stops (arrets d'autobus) are. You can go by metro - line 5 to Bastille and then Line 1. This will take much longer.
