The metro in Paris is one of the oldest in the world. It was inaugurated as early as 1900 on the occasion of the World Expositions held in the city. Its construction was unconventional. The wide boulevards of Paris were dug up, the metro was built, and everything was filled in and restored to its original state. Some of the metro entrances are still the original Art Nouveau ones. At the Abesses station on metro line 12, for example, there is a real gem to be seen. The inscription METROPOLITAIN above the metro entrance indicates the company that built the underground railway. It became known as METRO for short, and the name was then adopted worldwide.
A wide network of 14 underground lines will take you anywhere. And you really don't have to worry. If you've ever traveled by metro in Prague, it's the same principle. In addition, you can get a subway map anywhere - at your hotel, on the internet, at the information center, and the subway entrances. The metro runs every minute, so it's also the fastest mode of transport in the French metropolis.
