Default metro/ Paris

Has anyone here ridden the Metro in Paris? Is it as easy to navagate as the
tube?

Six million people ride the Métro every day in Paris.

It's much easier than the Tube, and specialists often cite Paris as
having the best rail mass transit in the world.

Yes it is - except its in French. na, its easy to follow. Strange little
trains they have there though and not as nice as the tube. Watch your wallet
on the metro..lots of pick pockets during peak hour travel.

I have the worst sense of direction than anyone I know but I was able to
master it eventually.

I have never been on the tube but I found the Paris Metro quite easy to use.
The Maps show a number of different colour coded loops and their stops and
intersection points. My biggest problem was getting myself oriented when I got
out of the station.

The Paris Métro is filled to the brim with signs. You cannot get lost
if you follow the signs. Parisians don't memorize it, either.
