The Paris Metro has been around for years and there are now 14 lines and something like stations in the system, which is one reason the Metro is so convenient. While each of the Metro stations has something to offer, there are a handful that are downright interesting. Let's take a ride to these 10 landmark stations.
Hector Guimard was an architect and designer whose work spanned the later 19th and early 20th centuries. Although he designed buildings, furniture, and other objets , today he is most well remembered for his entrances on the Paris Metro. He produced a slew of designs for Metro stations right from its inception in Although many of them were destroyed sorry, we mean "replaced for progress" in later years; luckily there are dozens extant today.
Let's visit them. Do you have your Metro Pass in hand? To celebrate the opening of three new stations on ultra-modern Line 14 — on December 14, — the City of Paris compiled a list of 14 significant dates in the year history of that transportation network. As is our wont, we took that idea and ran with it to create this expanded basket of Metro fun facts….
The Batobus is a boat service that runs up and down the Seine from May to the end of September, and it's a fun way to get around in Paris. You have the option to buy a 1-day pass or a 2-day pass, although the best deal is an annual pass, if you like Paris so much that you just can't leave! Check with Booking.
Search for your hotel …. Paris just keep getting better, and recent changes to the city's transportation system are examples of that. Let's take a look at the new, better buses from the airports, flat-rate taxis, a new name for the old RER, and improvements to the Navigo Metro card. Paris Velib , a contraction of the French for "free bicycles" or maybe it's "bicycle freedom" , is the public bike sharing system.
In just a relatively few years it has become an important part of city life. There are Velib bike racks all over the city , where you can rent bicycles from the automated terminals, using a credit card. Online, you can buy a one to three day pass for regular or even an electric bike.
Once you have a pass, bicycles are free for the first half-hour every time you use one forty-five minutes for electric bikes , and you can make as many free trips as you want. Velibs are not meant for touring around the city, but they are perfect for getting around from one place to another.
Grab a bike from a rack near your hotel, pedal to your favorite museum in 15 or 20 minutes and return the bike to a rack there. When you're done at the museum, grab another bike and pedal to the Eiffel Tower , or Arc de Triomphe , or a cute bistro for lunch, and return the bike to a rack at that site.
You get the idea. There are almost 16, taxis in Paris, and over the past few years it's become easier to find one. You no longer necessarily have to find a designated taxi stand to find a cab. We see people hailing cabs on the street all the time, in fact, we do it ourselves! In general, we find Paris taxis to be cleaner and the drivers more professional than in many other cities.
Taxis are also one of the most convenient ways to get from the airport to central Paris. It is truly wonderful to just meander through it and let your thoughts wander with you.

Wander across the park until you arrive at the Louvre Museum. If you want to make it to Montmartre before dinner, we suggest choosing the exhibitions carefully and being selective. We recommend visiting Lafayette, at least to see its dome. If you want to discover this area a little more, walk east to the Grands Boulevards metro. The next stop is Montmartre. In this square is located the legendary Moulin Rouge. Clichy Boulevard is a bohemian area with an important night life and red-light district type of shops.
You can either use this type of transport or walk up the steps. After supper, we recommend attending the Moulin Rouge show at 11 pm. If you prefer something a little less pricey, the neighbourhood is full of places to have a drink. We recommend climbing the towers. However, we suggest getting up early to avoid the queues and getting there at am Notre Dame opens at 10 am.
