For most people the Paris Metro is the transport of
choice travelling around Paris. Details of ticketing, lines etc. are
on our Paris
Metro page.
Metro Line 1 runs east - west along the north bank of the central
area of the River Seine. West of The Louvre is follows the Champs
Elysees right out to La Defense via the Arc de Triomphe. There are
interconnections with all the other lines running north-south. |

Metro
Line 1 is convenient for most of the Paris icons apart from the Eiffel
Tower along its route.
Line 7 also runs noth-south through Arrondissement 1 connecting the
Louvre with Opera and the other way the unspoilt, less commercialised
parts of the Latin Quarter. |
Local
Bus
Although not as fast as the Metro, bus allows you to
see more and there are plenty of bus lanes in Paris to expedite your
journey. The area around Palais Royal / Louvre / Pont Neuf is a major
bus hub. Routes radiate out in all directions to most places visitors
want to go.
There is also a night bus service that has its hub in the east of
the district at Chatelet & Hotel de Ville.
