Since the first line of the system was opened in 1900, the Paris Metro has become a major element of the city’s character. Used as much by busy Parisians as by curious tourists each day, the Paris Metro has a rich history. The Hotel Paris France invites you to discover this history during your break in the capital!
Paris Metro, more than a century of public transport
Planned to open for the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) of 1900, the Paris Metro was an incredibly ambitious and ingenious project in its day, and one that was desperately needed due to the capital’s severely congested roads. Originally a single line, the network developed rapidly up until the Second World War. Today, it covers all areas of the capital, as well as many surrounding suburbs. Fast, reliable and safe, the Paris Metro uses innovative technologies and is constantly being modernised. For example, line 14 is entirely automatic.
The Paris Metro and the capital’s most beautiful places
Each Metro station has a unique personality, and a trip into the subterranean realm of this mode of transport is a fascinating experience. The modernity of the Pyramides station, for example, has little in common with the vastness of Châtelet-Les Halles or the charm of Lamarck-Caulaincourt. The Metro also serves the most iconic locations of the capital, including the Louvre Museum, the Opera Garnier, the Montmartre district, the Place de la Concorde, the Madeleine, the Carrefour de l'Odéon and many more. With a Metro ticket in hand, you have access to the whole city in all its splendour! Enjoy the sights and the trip!
