Colourful Metro tickets in Paris

Getting around in Paris is pretty easy, if you have the right info, whether on foot, by bus or metro, or whether you required wheelchairs and disable access for handicapped travellers. Paris has to be one of the best places in the world to get around by public transport, and I love it!  Or maybe you're travelling with babies or little kids? Pop over here to read more.

TIP! Carry a 'Plan de Paris' [a mini street directory, fits in a pocket or a handbag], or at least have a map of some kind on you, as well as a Paris metro guide.

Map of Paris

Paris is roughly circular in shape, and the areas ['arrondissements'] are like a coil, or a snail shape, with the first [le 1ere arrondissement] in the centre, then moving clockwise with the circle getting ever larger, the arrondissements continue up to the 20th.
