Getting TO/AROUND: The Paris Metro network is very well developed and very easy to use although the first impression after seeing a map is that it?s almost impossible not to lose your head in the thicket of the 15 lines.
Metro stations can be found near almost all the most important interest points and changing the lines is simple as in all the stations are plenty of signs indicating the right way to the correspondence station or to exit.
The first metro line in Paris was opened in 1900, from Porte de Vincennes to Porte Maillot, which currently is line number 1.
I was very surprised to notice that the distance between the stations is quite short and you have to be very careful not to miss the entrance some stations the M sign does not exist.
The cars are clean and on some lines (e.g. line 1) modern.
Free maps of Paris transportation network (metro, bus, RER) can be requested to the pay desk in the metro stations.
One way ticket costs EUR 1.4-.
