Paris metro Line 14
I have taken the Roissy Bus and enjoyed the voyage versus the train. Takes
about 30-40 minutes each way as I recall. Best part is it picks you up right in front of the terminal and drops you off at the Opera, great if you're staying in that area. Also no need to drag your luggage up and down the stairs to the train. Pan "Miss L. Toe" wrote in message ... Is this a new line ? There doesn't seem to be maps on http://www.ratp.fr/ParisVisite/Eng/Pla_q/f_pla.htm ?? Also is there any benefit/difference between taking the roissybus vs the RER from Charles de Gaulle to the centre of Paris. The bus seems a fraction cheaper. Finally I am looking for 10 unusal things to do in Paris - i.e. touristy things, but having been there about 20 times before, not the usual touristy things - Any suggestions ? |

Paris metro Line 14
I've just got back from Paris, having (this morning) noticed this new
line on a metro stations map with an accompanying notice pointing out the benefits as it connects the national (Mitterand) library, which is otherwise only on an RER line, via Gare de Lyon, les Halles and Concorde to Madeleine.

Hi, There are several tours organized within the metro system. One is a night visit of the lines and stations, including the connecting lines where no passengers are generally allowed. Some of these tours involve the old "Sprague" trains that have been landmarks of the Paris metro system for over 50 years. They start around 23h45 and end around 5 am, in front a very good onion soup! Regarding the dispatching center, some tours are organized for senior citizen organizations. The best way to find information is to call RATP, or write them, at: Maison de la RATP 54, quai de la Rapée 75599 PARIS Cedex 12 Phone: +33 1 58 78 20 20 (French only - lundi a jeudi [mo to th] : 8 h 15-18 h 30 ; vendredi [fr]: 8 h 15-18 h) Cheers, Yves |
