While being the oldest in the world, the Paris Metropolitain is also one of the most
efficient and extensive systems of any modern city. That is not to say, however, that
every station is modern.
Many do not have escalators or elevators, a fact to consider if you are arriving from
the airport or a train station burdened with luggage.
The trains run on 14 different color coded lines and begin operation at 5:30 in the
morning and run until 12:30 in the evening.
There are over 300 Stations throughout the city, many that connect the several
different lines at various levels.
The station below the Arc de Triumph, for example, connects to three different Metro
lines and the RER train line that converge much like the streets above, from all
directions.
Ticket booths are located in some of the stations, others have automated
machines that accept credit cards and coins (Euros).
You can buy individual fares, Day passes, blocks of ten, and weekly passes(photo
required). Maps are available and handy to have.
Always keep your ticket, you may need it to exit the subway or you may be asked to
show it while riding the metro or the bus system and train system (RER).
The tickets are valid for all three systems, Metro, Bus, RER Train.
If you have ridden the New York City subway, the Boston T, or the Chicago CTA you
will feel at home in the Paris Metropolitain: color coded like NYC, linear maps and
color coded lines like Boston.
If you have a map, you will bypass the language barrier and navigate by station names.
The RER train, Blue Line runs from CDG to Paris with stops in the vicinity of Notre
Dame Cathedral
