Paris Metro Guide: lines, info about stops and colors to know for each line

14/01/2019 by Amber

This Paris Metro Guide wants to be useful to discover useful information about the metro of Paris. The metro stations itself are very famous for their history.

The first metro line was opened at the beginning of 1900, on the occasion of the Expo. It has 16 lines and it is one of the longest metros in Europe. It is about 220 km long.

Without consulting a Paris Metro Guide, it can be difficult to know which line to take to go to the places you want to visit or to reach your accommodation or your apartment.
