How to move in Paris

Avoid driving in Paris; it's congested, difficult to park and very easy to get lost. We recommend to use the métro.Paris is a huge, often confusing city, but once you figure out how to navigate through the arrondissements and how to use the métro, you should be able to find your way around fairly easily.

For métro information see
http://www.ratp.fr/ or http://www.ratp.info/informer/anglais/index.php#

Tips and Warnings:

- Purchase métro tickets in a booklet, or carnet de billets, of 10. Not only will this save you money, but you won't have to stand in line for tickets as often. - Two people traveling together can share a carnet de billets, so it may be worthwhile to buy one even if you are making just a few métro trips. - When you get on the métro, you will need to be sure you are headed in the right direction. Often, this means knowing the name of the station at each end of the line. Keep a pocket métro map so that you can figure this out before you have to rush onto a train.- Buy a Paris Visite card. This pass gives you unlimited travel on the métro and RER trains and SNCF Ile-de-France buses, as well as the bus parisiens (RATP) networks. Fares vary, depending on the number of zones you need to cover. - Like many other subway systems around the world, the métro is a favorite hangout of pickpockets; keep your valuables in a money belt, and be alert to the people and activities that surround you.

How to get to Paris

Places to visit

Eiffel Tower: From the top of the Eiffel Tower, you can see all of Paris spread out beneath you. The Tower is a classic tourist trap, but it's worth the price of admission to see just how much ground you may get to cover during your stay in the city.
