Metro

The Metro is a great way to get around Paris, it just takes a bit of working out to use it effectively! Once you have a carnet of tickets (you buy 10 or 20 at once), and realise that a ticket gets you into the system and is valid until you emerge on the street again, it’s just a matter of knowing where you want to go and following the signs. Routes are identified by their end points, and many attractions in guides and directories tell you the nearest Metro station, so it is essential to consult the Metro maps. The trains are clean and frequent so it’s all good!
