For the delegates wishing to extend their stay and visit Paris:
Paris’ compactness makes walking around it a pleasure, though cyclists can be hampered by heavy city centre traffic. Public transport, run by RATP (Régie Autonome de Transports Parisiens), is cost-effective and efficient, and includes Métro, buses, and RER trains.
Metro: Fast and inexpensive, travel on the Metro is one of the best ways to get around Paris. Trains on the 15 lines run from 5.30am to midnight. A Paris metro map plus a journey planner tool is available.
Bus: Many of the 60 bus routes go through the tourist areas of Paris. Buses operate from Monday to Saturday from 7am to around 20.30. Stamp your ticket onboard. Night buses (‘Noctambus’) operate across 18 lines from 01.00 to 05.30, running into the suburbs. The Balabus circuits along major Paris tourist attractions including the Bastille, Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Champs-Elysées and Charles de Gaulle-Etoile on Sundays and national holidays through summer months.
RER train: There are four RER suburban train lines which are best used for longer distance journeys across Paris.
Taxis: Taxis can be hailed in the street, though there are plentiful taxi ranks. Rates are measured in the city centre by kilometre, with higher rates after 19.00 and on Sundays. A fee is charged for each piece is baggage.
Car: With limited parking spaces and a high volume of traffic, driving a car in Paris is challenging, though useful for visiting the charming, quieter outlying regions and towns near the capital. |
