Advantages: Its cheap very interesting and fairly easy to use

Disadvantages: It can be a bit grubby and people aren't particularly well mannered- just like London

Last time we driving around in Paris we realised the benefits of using the Paris Metro. It has a character all of its own. The trains are quite a novelty too as some of them are double decker! It helps if you can speak a little French to ask for directions and way to nearest the toilets etc.

We stayed at Bussy St George in Marne La Valee. This is a good place to stay if you are visiting Eurodisney but not actually staying at the parc. You can then buy one zoned ticket to use the RER and the Paris Metro and the buses for a few euros a day.

The Paris Metro will take you to all the tourist destinations as well as some that are off the beaten track. You can get off the Metro right under the Arc de Triomphe, outside Gallerie Lafayette which makes Harrods look like a corner shop or a few yards from the Tour Eiffel.

Wander round the market and the Latin quarter where the students and artists used to live. Where ever you wander in the city you won't be far from the Metro. So, if you get lost find the nearest Metro station and take it back to where you want to be.

Summary: Enjoy the Paris Metro
