Paris metro and transport in Paris

We recommend you to avoid driving in Paris. The traffic is dense and unpredictable, especially at rush hour. If you can, come to Paris by train.

During your stay in Paris, take the metro and buses. They are convenient and safe means of transport.

The metro is also a practical means of transport to get to Paris from Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.
