My wife and I traveled Paris in June of 2011 to visit her sister. It was the best vacation I have ever been on. It was also my first time on a subway (we live in Kansas City, Missouri and have no underground transit), and I loved the experience. We got really good using the subway system and used it to visit all of the sites in and around Paris. We WILL be back again.....I love Paris! Cheers from the U.S.
I went to Paris in summer holiday for only 4 days. They were the best 4 days of my life. I am from Germany and I love France more than I love my own country. One day I will come to Paris again- my parents don't want to come again, cause they were there many times. I Love France- Greetings from your neighbours :D
ME ENCANTA ESE TREN. ES MI FAVORITO. ACA EN SANTIAGO TAMBIEN ESTA EL MISMO. SOBRE TODO ME GUSTA PORQUE HACE ESE RUIDO Y ACELERA MUCHO MAS RAPIDO QUE LOS OTROS, FRENA MUY BRUSCO ESO SI
It is good the metro, it is very unique because of the rubber tyred trains they run. And also the autmated line 14 and soon to develop on line 1 by 2012.
@booya2012 I think what makes the Paris Metro the best system on the planet is the really tidy stations, you hardly see any litter spoiling any station throughout the system.
@SHHE001 it makes things less confusing, as then you are less likely to board the wrong train. Of course, you could cross the tracks and board the other train anyways, but that's less likely to happen.
I went to Paris to one month ago. I came from Japan. I glad watch this video. I want to go to Paris again. But I was afraid to crime. I heard many exist crime on subway. But I felt good!!
Like the Paris metro in certain ways over the London underground. The stations are closer together and the platforms are wider though the London metro is better for people with walking problems since there are more escalators. The Paris metro seems to be quieter also. The Paris metro also has those quirky little catches on the doors. I wonder if these catches exist in other cities.
Paris and Mexico City subways run on tires (Mexico City's first lines run on Bombardier, French co) Only that in Mexico City each convoy runs with 9 car-trains!
I think it's partly due to putting new trains into an old system that wasn't built for these numbers of passengers. Maybe the new purpose built lines are wider but I haven't been on them.
@SHHE001 some stations have one platform, another have tow platforms with four tracks and very few one have just one platform and one track, you have to change of station to go in the other direction :) I'm sure there is a reason ;)
I noticed how smooth the ride was on those things, and of course there was none of that squeaking noise like normal trains--which apparently was the reason they used the tires, so I've read. Despite this praise, I still don't like the 'look' of tires on a subway train.

For some reason I am quite captivated by this video. Love the sounds. Reminds me of my times in Paris.

@Schlechten If I remember correctly, it looks like a museum with trains going through the middle of it.
@JoeRoss1993 You would be correct. I think Line 1 is supposed to be fully automated by the end of this year actually.
One of the best systems on the planet! Boy do I miss Paris!!
Apparently when Line 1 has completed automaticion, the MP 89s will be moved to Line 4.

@85agapanthusgal Yes most metros have their distinctive features, Paris, London & Moscow are all very distinctive.
It is good the metro, it is very unique because of the rubber tyred trains they run. And also the autmated line 14 and soon to develop on line 1 by 2012.
@kilgoretex09 I think it is looking east towards Barbes Rochechouart metro station in Boulevard de la Chapelle.
@booya2012 I think what makes the Paris Metro the best system on the planet is the really tidy stations, you hardly see any litter spoiling any station throughout the system.
@mbrown187 I believe it is quite expensive to maintain these trains, those tires get a lot of wear & tear.
@SHHE001 it makes things less confusing, as then you are less likely to board the wrong train. Of course, you could cross the tracks and board the other train anyways, but that's less likely to happen.
@acc84 I think that station is unique, I haven't seen another one like it.
My favorite Paris metro train is the Mp 89, I liek their sound when they speed out of the station.
I hope to try that out sometime!
Yes it has a distinct smell as well!
@Dmention8 Paris metro? Usually they're pretty good in winter.
I think London Underground haven't had too many problems apart from strikes recently!
@Arabeskascala Thanks, hopefully you can get to Paris by train at some point, it's fairly easy for us to do it from the UK.

The trains at the beginning are articulated, no carriage end doors, you can walk right through the train.
@kilgoretex09 isn't it just before arriving at pasteur on the line 6?
@BonjourBit Thanks, I am glad I captured the essence so well, don't know why part 2 isn't as popular!
Thanks for sharing!
I think it's partly due to putting new trains into an old system that wasn't built for these numbers of passengers.
Maybe the new purpose built lines are wider but I haven't been on them.
@TimBrown59 yeah, that`s correct. If im not wrong it`s just like Syntagma or Akopoli station in Athens, if you know it. :)
Yes it has a unique flavour to it!
@kilgoretex09 @kilgoretex09 isn't it just before arriving at pasteur on the line 6?
Why Paris has two platforms, one platform per direction??? Why not only one platform with one track on this side and one track on the other side???
@SHHE001 some stations have one platform, another have tow platforms with four tracks and very few one have just one platform and one track, you have to change of station to go in the other direction :)
I'm sure there is a reason ;)
@Mutleytech Well hopefully you'll get to go back!
@aryowailangitoyo97 Well most trains use wheels apart from Maglev, I guess.
I think you mean the tyres?
Do they run on tyres?
@MrBJC1996 Some lines do, you can tell by the sound they make, a sort of swishy sound like a road sweeper!
@Klingl3r Thank you!
3:34 sounds awkward, just that weird silence when the imposing doors slam shut and completely blots out all the noise.
Just visiting!
Well Paris is, you know, a city. There are certain traits a city could never shake off, not even a city as fabled as Paris.
@kilgoretex09 Ah no, it is further to the east side of Paris, I'll try to work out the exact location on the map.
Chatelet 1 & 7, Gare de L'Est 4, Gare du Nord 5, Les Halles 4, Franklin D Roosevelt 1 & 9.
Louvre station is really cool
@elicitaelanor Thanks & I do have some LUL videos!
Thanks
u live in paris or u visit a lot there
@1000krhodes Surely Alabama has something going for it!
@thetopno1 I think it is as safe as London's metro, a busy place attracts some crime sadly.
J'aime, cette vidéo :]
@Schlechten Must admit I've never been there.
Well it swishes like a road sweeper!
There's a smell of rubber as well.
I'd like to go there!
@amg4330 Thanks!
Nice!
ES IDENTICO AL METRO DE SANTIAGO DE CHILE! INCLUSO HACE EL MISMO RUIDO!
@TimBrown59 well my friend. Never is too late
@Maartin23 Merci!
@magneau51 To be honest I can't remember now!
@yabbaguy Yes that is how it was!
It gets busy but seems to cope!
paris has the most complex metro system!
@flaviafrancesca Something tickled his fancy!
It's Very different Battlefield3 paris metro map between real paris metro
Really? RATP must be on a fast track then on the Line 1 automation project by under 2 years.
It sort of has a distinct smell like the London underground.
nice vid
why do there trains have tires is that how poor france is?
It is "pushed" by the wheels but runs on rails, this is one of the newer models
When ever I ride the metro to work and back, It dosnt have that satisfying clack like on the tube :/
@alvaro23xc Hola, lo sentimos mucho pero no sé.
I have never seen that happen but Paris isn't what it was.
GOD FRENCH MEN DRESS SO WELL ;A;
1:42 why is this guy so smiley? lmao
Its a lot like montreal
there is nothing like da tube!
anna tren metro de parís ns93 y hola hoy pl2
La misma tecnología que en el metro de México
I think if you touch it....@!&=ç/?
