An Introductory Insight Into Paris Metro Trains

By Pierre Fontaine


Metro transport system is the foundation of public transport system in Paris and it gratifies the travellers in France, one of Europe's largest countries.

The routes on the Paris metro network can be found in the shape of coloured lines on the Paris metro map that gives an appearance of a piece of modern art with its myriad of floored patches.

The experienced 100-plus year old metro system in Paris is one of the oldest in the world and it runs on 15 various tracks that are named after their termini.

Choice is yours in picking any of the metro stations close to the place of your visit out of a total of 368 metro stations which are linked by a track measuring 200 kilometres. It is believed that one is never more than 500 meters away from a metro station from any given place in Paris.

Metro may not be used that much if you are staying in the centre of Paris. So some factors control the use of metro system and the selection of tickets by the travellers who go to Paris on vacation.

A lot of memorials and museums are found within walking distance of one another. So it is sufficient if you buy a single metro ticket for a certain place.

Attendants are available in all the metro stations to help the tourists in getting their metro tickets from the ticket booths. A 'Carnet' is chosen by the tourists who will tour Paris for a week and who would use the metro better. It is a pack of 10 metro tickets that permit the tourists to go by Paris metro 10 times.

Another ticket that allows you to travel any number of times on the metro in a week is the 'orange Paris metro ticket'. It is a good alternative in the sense that it is economical and you can choose the number of places you would visit in the week.

Tourists from the US can buy Paris Vistes which can be ordered through the internet before they leave for France. This ticket allows you to visit the RATP network any number of times.
