Also, tips for non-Parisians, when taking the metro (walking and taking escalators underground) stay on the right side to not bump into anyone or to not block the escalators' left side which is kinda used as the fast lane. I know a lot of cities have this unspoken rule as well but some cities (like Tokyo) apply the opposite rule (the right side is the "fast lane").

You forgot something important: there are close to none lifts and one-way escalators, which makes the metro impossible for a wheelchair user. They're forced to take the much slower bus system. I experienced this with my disabled father a few days ago. It was hell. Thank God we visited Berlin as well, as we had no problems when taking the U5 line.

The most efficient system for people on a wheelchair is Pam: a dedicated network of adapted minivans that you can call like taxis, yet which are as cheap as the metro. There's no reason to bother taking the metro in such conditions. Also I don't understand your comment about escalators. They are everywhere in the Paris metro even though they are indeed not helpful for wheelchair users.

​@@superalejaI have no doubt on that. The problem is that 95% of the Paris metro is underground and building direct lift from the street to reach platform level would endanger the vault, requiring to rebuild it entirely. That's what is done on new stations since the 1970's, the problem is that most of the metro was built earlier than that.

That explanation of the map was beautiful. You took all the overwhelming complexity of how the system is normally presented and cut through it to give us the insight of the general patterns of the layout. If I ever go to Paris, there's not a chance I would ever remember the map, and I have to look at it each and every time I wanted to go somewhere, but I will never forget your 3 simple rules. I wish the map designers would have colored the lines in a way that highlights exactly the patterns you pointed out Imagine being able to tell from just the line color if it goes where you need, even if you've never seen that route before. Instead, designers have this cargo-cult wisdom that lines need to be maximally distinguishable to avoid confusion at interchanges. This is both wrong and stupid. The value of having a "blue direction" for blue trains and a "red direction" for red trains is worth more than the harm caused by someone getting on the wrong blue-direction line by accident. Indeed I find when you start to look for the patterns, most metro systems everywhere can be summarized by just a handful of key interchanges and branching directions.

4:47 you forgot line 4 (Line 1 was really designed to go east-west and line 4 to go north-south so it's an important mistake) 11:30 We have had transport cards (subscriptions) for a very long time (since 1975 with a magnetic stripe card, and since 1994 with a chip card). But in recent years it is possible to have cards storing virtual tickets. You can also put some passes on your phone. Don't worry, we're not late. For the schedules, it's quite correct but be careful, they can vary according to the lines and the works. But it's a good informative video for tourists!

Thanks for the comment and additional info ! You're right about line 4, I somehow missed that, even if it was my home line for a while... Although, I still think that, to me, the North-South / East-West directions are not really important in the use of the subway lines (or at least, not in the way they can be in NYC). I really wanted to emphasize this idea that the métro in Paris is a network system, not a "cardinal" system. Regarding the transport card, As this video is mostly aimed at people visiting / tourists, I felt the carte orange and the original Navigo weren't really relevant. For short term visitors and tourists it wasn't really a thing and they were stuck with the paper ticket. Now the system is pretty cool (just wish we could store the card on the iPhone and be fully done with the physical one). Loïc

I think that city mapper is the most efficient way to use the metro (rather than the RATP app). Besides that, i think that you could have mentionned the fact that altough it's not a 24/24h system, the metro is replaced during night time by pretty efficient buses that covers the entire city (and mostly the suburbs), it's very slow, it's sometimes not the friendliest (keep your purse close to you) but it's a great way to enjoy the night life without paying for an uber (you also can rent for very cheap bikes to get home safe)

That was a lovely video. I had a little trouble with some of the transfers in the Metro, however. I think it might have been at Franklin D. Roosevelt where what looked like an easy transfer on the map turned out to be a long, tedious underground trek. I even came across a 3-way pedestrian tunnel intersection with signage. Not the kind of scenery that I like best about Paris. I was happier using a single Metro trip combined with the buses, which at least give you some nice views.

Paris actually has contactless cards since 1998. Paper tickets were only kept for occasional visitors. And as a matter of fact, paper tickets had many advantages that are lost with a contactless card for occasional visitors. For instance, you could share tickets between different people whereas you have to get your own individual pass with a contactless card. It was also easier to keep track about the number of trips that you could make as you simply had to count your tickets, whereas that information isn't visible on the pass.

In Paris, you're never more than 500m from a station. It's hard to judge distances due to the nature of the street layout. Compared to Manhattan, each street is about a minute to walk. 15 blocks = 15 minutes. Avenues are about 3x streets so 3 avenues = 9 blocks. Using Google maps in Paris makes it easier to figure out which method is faster.

Not accurate. When the metro system 1st started having its boom, being used and appreciated to move around the city, it was the municipality's idea that no one in Paris should live further than 400 meters away from a subway station, hence it being so radial and branching off into so many directions with almost no overlapping. Nevertheless, things evolve and that idea kind of faded. And whilst many stations are indeed close to each other on one line and even across lines, the newer ones tend to be further apart (e.g. line 4 Mairie de Montrouge - Barbara, line 14 Châtelet - Pyramides, line 12 Front Populaire - Aimé-Césaire, all over 900 meters apart).

VERY IMPORTANT FOR TOURISTS. YOU WILL GET FINED IF YOU DONT OBAY BY THIS RULE. Paris's T+ tickets have a HUGE disadvantage : If you make a transport mode change you can only do these transfers : - BUS/BUS - BUS/TRAM - TRAM/TRAM - METRO/METRO - RER/RER - RER/METRO The most common example is if you are in the 8 eme and you decide to see a concert at la villette. You will naturally do rer E from st. Lazare to Rosa parks then take t3b to porte de la villette. You MUST use another ticket if you make this change. The RATP know this and will do ticket inspection on the T3b on concerts days for this purpose. the other common example is that bus drivers in Paris won't tell you if your ticket doesn't work. So if you transfer on the bus please use another ticket. I suggest is if you are going to take multiple times the public transport buy day tickets. If you take the noctilian please read the ticketing scheme because tourists always get fined when there is a ticket inspection.

The problem is that I heard that Navigo pass validity starts on Monday morning and ends the following Sunday. So if this is the case, what shall I do for (1-2 july duration??!).-i heard navigo easy will not help me since i will be using the RER to go to central paris and i m basically living in zone 5-so ,,.shall i use the 2 daily mobilis day pass for my 1st 2 days?or is there a better idea? 2-i heard that there would be some strikes that would interrupt train schedules. Is that true? If yes , how can I verify that my trip will not be affected by that. 3-i ll leave from orly airport on 7 july, = what is the cheapest way to go there,,(flight departure time is 1630), what time shall I leave from my Airbnb? 4- i want to buy a pre paid phone sim card so that i could make calls and use the internet in france and sweden. so shall i get this from the Tourist Information at Terminal 1 ? or shall i get this from Serris(maybe cheaper?!)? is there a specific carrier that i should go with? or shall i use this www.amazon.com/Orange-Holiday-CardCOMBO-Authorized-International/dp/B07RYLB6PK ?i want this to work till my departure day from sweden(16 july). thanks again for the great help!

Hi.. Can we get to travel both on Metro and RER using the card you showed?

yes Navigo can be used in metro, trams, RER, regional trains (transilien), buses, even some boats on the Seine but be careful to select the rights zones. zone 1 will only allow you to travel inside Paris proper

Nice, comprehensive video on the Paris Metro. However I personally would not recommend the RATP app for international visitors as it doesn't support languages other than French and is overall much more of a hassle to use compared to Google Maps which works just fine. I tried using the app on various occasions during my several trips to Paris this year however couldn't really make any use of it and was instead well served by Google Maps in that department.

Forget app, paper maps are far more convenient and maps can be found in every station, plate-forme or outside.

The only thing I didn't like about the Paris Metro was my friend getting scammed at a kiosk *right in front* of a customer-help desk. The scamming prick had a fake badge and everything, and explaining this to the actual staff a day later didn't get us anywhere.

The metro system is not designed to be taken for 1 stop only. Including the approach walk and the stairs etc. It’s clearly not worth it.

The number one reason to not use the metro is to walk around above ground and experience the city 👣

All of this feels like the Montreal metro station as well. They probably copied Paris.

​@@ericalexandre2983 Totally true. Living in France is way easier than in my home country, yet I have many disadvantages as an immigrant. I feel like French people don't get how fortunate they are
