The Paris metro modern line 14
|
We recommend you to avoid driving your car in Paris if you
are not used to driving in frantic cities. The traffic is dense and mostly
unpredictable,
especially at rush hour.
If you come by car, park your car at your hotel or at long term
parking lots at the airports.
When you stay in Paris, take the metro and the RER (regional metro).They are
fast, convenient, lively and mostly safe.

The buses can be a very scenic although a bit slower way to visit
Paris. Avoid them at rush hour.
To prepare your itinary and get timetables of Paris metro and buses, have a look at the metro
map, use the Route
finder and Interactive
map, both from RATP, operating the Paris metro and bus networks.
Taxis are as good as
anywhere else and reasonably cheap. It's sometimes hard to get one at
rush hour. Call Taxi G7 at 33 (0)1 01 41 27 66 99 (English spoken). |

A
great addition of Summer 2007 to Paris lifestyle is velib.
You can
rent almost anywhere bicycles at service points, put it back at any other
service point, do
it again and again for a few euros a day.
The only thing you need is a
credit card with pin code (Visa or Mastercard) and a velib service point
(ask for the
nearest one). More
information.

Distances are short in Paris and the density of places of
interest is high. So, a good way to see Paris is also by just walking around.
It's therefore appropriate to select a hotel in central districts like
the Louvre, Notre-Dame
or Saint-Germain
des Près districts.
With its two international airports, Charles de Gaulle to the north and
Orly to the south, Paris is connected to most
large cities in the world.
