couple of notes: - yes, the pathway at Gambetta is indeed where the track used to be. what you didn't mention though, is that the current line 3bis platform was the original Gambetta station. new platforms had to be built for line 3 when it was extended in another direction, and the segment to Gambetta got turned into a branch line. Martin Nadaud station was so close, it was absorbed into Gambetta station. - Porte Molitor never opened, since no exits have ever been built. however, there used to be a train shared between lines 9 and 10 back when both had the same stock, and since they had different seatings, Porte Molitor is where they would replace seats and maps, and store them on the platform, whenever the train had to switch lines. - the shortest distance between two stations is 183 m, between Cluny - La Sorbonne and Maubert - Mutualité. the journey takes about 30 seconds.

Cluny-La Sorbonne was so close to Maubert that it was closed after world war 2, becoming a ghost station. It only opened again to offer a connection to Saint-Michel station when RER B was built. Saint-Michel station which by the way is built below the Seine river. So when you're standing in the station, there's actually water above you.

Hi Geoff, thank you for your brilliant video! I am glad you made a video about the city where I live ! Here is a fun fact about one station of line 7bis : Danube. This station was constructed in a very unstable terrain, where a gypsum mine used to be. Indeed, the station is perched more than 30m above solid ground. This is why they built huge supporting columns below the station. These were needed to keep the station from falling. Pretty impressive for a station of this size ! Ps: I am sorry if my English is not perfect, I am French (oui oui)

Two ideas for future videos: -The Paris Metro used to have First Class in the third car and this was discontinued. -Each station used to have an electric door that would close up when a train arrived, to prevent stragglers from running to the train. They had no retraction device and so could really hurt you if they closed on you. These were decommissioned in the late 1970s IIRC, but I believe may still be found in some stations, permanently propped open.

There have been plans to combine 3bis and 7bis into one line, perhaps a line 19 (but that might be reserved for a future Grand Paris Express line) or a line 20. Such a line would use that eastbound connection between 7bis and 3bis, which in turns necessitates the opening of the famous built-but-never-used Haxo ghost station (as Pre-Saint-Gervais would be turned into a one way station as well).

The tunnel the runs where tracks used to be reminds me of the new(ish) connection between Times Square and Bryant Park here in NYC. They renovated the Times Square Shuttle to be 2 tracks, and replaced the 3rd track with a ramp down from the eastern end of the new island platform to a block long tunnel (with a block long piece of artwork) that ends with stairs down to both platforms at Bryant Park on the 6th Avenue lines (BDFM). Oddly because the shuttle closes overnight, the connection gets locked shut and passengers are told to go and take the 7 train one stop instead. Eventually they will add in elevators to make the connection fully accessible (oddly all of the Times Square complex is accessible EXCEPT for the tunnel that runs from the 8th avenue (ACE) lines to the rest of the station as that tunnel has steep ramps at both ends that are unfriendly to wheelchair users.)

I was in Paris for a few days in 2017 (in transit between Vladivostok and Sintra, yeah it was my 'bucket list' trip) and I rode on both those lines. Just because they looked curious on the map. And they didn't disappoint, I'm looking forward to Geoff and Tim's exploration.

Space Invader mosaics: I did a walking tour for a few hours around Montmartre when I visited Paris. Started at the Moulin Rouge, then the cafe from Amelie, then several other locations including the "love" wall, finally ending at the Sacred Heart Basilica. Our guide liked pointing out the street art and I remember we saw a few of the space invader mosaics. I would bet there's well over 100 that the artist has left around Paris.

Buttes-Chaumont is a beautiful park, landscaped from a disused quarry with the added attraction of the disused Petite Ceinture running through. Somewhere on my channel I've done a short Petite Ceinture video and one on the Arts et Métiers Metro station which has a wonderful Jules Verne interior.

Great video! Thought I’d add info : at 2:02 the bench is so uncomfortable because RATP don’t want homeless people sleeping on them, so they voluntarily made it impossible to lie on. Colour schemes are stock based, not line based. The only difference you might find are both lines 3 and 3bis MF67 stock got unique refurbishments with unique layouts and colours (PIS and longitudinal seats for line 3, and removal of tip up seats for line 3bis). The wall in the middle at Buttes-Chaumont and Botzaris has nothing to do with the line splitting. It’s just because the station is too unstable without them, as they are so deep underground.

I think the shortest distance between two stations is between Martin Nadeau and Gambetta. Since you visited Gambetta, you know that the station is just massively long. That's because when they separated the 3bis from the 3 they had to rebuild the station and since the distance between the Martin Nadeau station and the new Gambetta station was so short, they just merged them.

The thing I really like about the old trains is you can open the doors as the trains pulling in, you can do that on the Berlin one as well

This is probably not 100% accurate with the distances but I’m fairly sure I’m right about which one of the two is closer. I’d have thought Chalalet to Les Halles on line 4 would be amongst the closest distances between stations, my guess that’s less than 300m at least going Northbound as there’s a bend there

I've spent many a happy time wandering about the Métro. I love Paris! I envy you being there. Scrawled on a poster in the Metro one New Year: RATP= Rentre à tes pieds ~= walk home. There's a pretty comprehensive book on the history of the Metro by Jean Tricoire called De Bienevenue à Météor Un Siècle de Métro en 14 lignes. It has lots of pictures of the construction of all the lines mais c'est complètement écrit en français. It's all really really amazing stuff. I think it's Line 7 that has tunnels which are actually underground viaducts running through caverns under the Buttes Chaumont. Something like that. All the tunnels have been lit since the fire at Couronnes on line 2 in 1903. They're great for urban exploration. All totally illegal of course but there's plenty videos on it. The city of Paris is densely populated with not quite 3 million people but the actual city limits make it physically small so there's never too far between stations. I think it occupies somewhere between the area of Nottingham and Edinburgh. Greater Paris is huge though.

One does not do a video in Paris without Tim 👌

I can definitely recommend the park in Buttes Chaumont, probably my favorite. It is on a hillside and youcan see both the Eiffel tower and Sacré Cœur.

Not sure if you know, but in the UK. There is a new station currently in the process of being completed on the line that Connects Basingstoke & Reading. The new station is called “Reading Green Park” and it’s between Mortimer and Reading West.

Did you know, that the word "Metro" comes from the full name of parisian rapid transit system, the "Chemin de fer METROpolitain de Paris"? And, in case of one of other lines (not shown in this video), metro line 6 (orange) has a sightseeing point, in which, you can see Eiffel Tower, a very popular tower, also built in purpose for EXPO, but, in this case, 1887 EXPO (metro opening and 2nd Summer Olympic Games were part of 1900 EXPO) and an odd terminus procedure, as, due to only one track at terminus, trains on this line have a longer waiting at Kleber station before departure to it's real terminus, Charles de Gaulle - Etoile, as former one has four tracks and two platforms - one to CDG Etoile and another one to Nation. RATP had been believed in unlucky numbers, as in 2007 (last digit of year is lucky number), on train running on line 13 (unlucky number), between Varenne and Invalides, fire broke out, injuring 15 people, but, luckily, none of the people taking part in the incident were died.
