New rule dropped: if you're not moving in the escalator, you HAVE to stand on the right, to let people who walk up/down pass

As a Parisian, one rule, I would like to add it's:" Put your rucksack between your legs when you are in the Metro or the bus to avoid smacking people in the face with it (also, it would be more difficult for a pickpocket to access it)

I'm French and went to Paris in June 2023. I called a Bolt and the driver was super rude... complaining that I dirt his car with my shoes... it was supposed to cost €12 and he claim that there were traffic jam so charge me €36 instead! Which was a lie! I contacted Bolt customer service and they have fully refunded me. Be carreful...

I've lived all my life in Paris and never knew the bus 69 thing, since it's not in my neighbourhood, and we don't do touristy things usually. Great way to visit, just sit on the bus for 90 minutes, for the price of 1 ticket. I'll take a friend when he will visit, thanks.

In the Paris Metro Everyday is Leg Day - truer words never spoken! After a couple weeks in Paris I come home looking like I've spent all my time in the gym 😉😄

FYI, I just returned from Paris and use a mobility scooter, all the buses have a ramp (not all of them work) so it's really easy to get around on buses if you are disabled. The driver will help if the ramp isn't working. In fact most work, and if not the driver or any passenger was quick to lend a hand. Plus all the sidewalks have mobility access. And the bus ride was free.

Excellent video as always my friends! Something that I always see in the metro from tourists: they don't know that you SHOULD stay at the sides of the doors in the metro, NOT FRONT, and WAIT for people to get off from the metro first, before you go inside and push people back inside. Then, if you are on the electrical stairs, keep your right!! so if people want to go faster and climb, you are not on the way. Hope everybody enjoys their time in Paris ❤

Great comment on the bicycle lanes ! Coming from London, we have cycle lanes everywhere now, so I'm wary before I cross, but in the UK we drive on the left, which means a Brit has to take a second to remember which way to look ! Another thing to recall is that the green cycle lanes are, from my pedestrian perspective, on the pavement (sidewalk !) rather the what you'd typically think of as the road. So, do a double-check on a double-check ! And you're right, a mistake could be disastrous as they take no prisoners never stopping for mistakes !

(At least, Spanish people do that all the time … maybe French people do too, but I haven’t heard it as much here!) One more Paris transport tip is, if you’re coming into Orly airport, take the OrlyVal shuttle to Antony station, then the B train into Paris. It’s fast, and so much easier than other options. (I would say it’s even worth flying into Orly if you can, rather than CDG … especially if you are coming later than Fall 2024, because Line 14 of the Metro is being extended all the way to Orly and will take you all the way to the center of Paris.)

Being French from Paris (while now leaving abroad for many years) the G7 is indeed the best option to ride across Paris.....uber is definitely not a reliable option at peak times compare to US cities...and the price difference is very reasonable.......RER is excellent to travel outside Paris and visit the greater Paris area ( Ile de France) but pay attention to RER C line which is not very reliable. Thank you les Frenchies for your instructive video 🙂 I hope our American friends will definitely enjoy Paris during the summer season.

I visit Paris in a few days. I’ve been before but have not taken either Bus 69 or 87 from end to end. Great tip for discovering or rediscovering Paris on the cheap! Perhaps you guys can produce a short audio guide to accompany one or both of these routes, providing some background on the main highlights along the way. 🤔 If you are unable to produce it for free, I think your fans (like me!) would download it for a reasonable charge to enjoy your voices along the ride? 🤷🏻‍♀️ In any case, merci mille fois Colleen and Antoine for your many valuable tips! 👏

i've lived in paris for two decades and everything that's been said is 100% true. some small additions: the city's self-service bicycles aren't expensive and are very fast/practical if you don't have any luggage and buses are a very pleasant way of getting around, but ONLY if you have time (the frequency is low and there's a lot of traffic)

Taking a LIME bike is my favorite way to move around Paris. It's worth mentioning that they are geo-fenced, so you can't take them outside certain areas, and there is a time limit that you can rent them. I took one once just for a nice evening ride, but just as I was within a short distance from my hotel, the rental period expired, which means the wheels locked up. To make matters worse, the drop off was about 100 meters away, so I had to lift the bike and carry it across the busy street and to the drop off point, to avoid renting it again or paying a fee for dropping in it an unauthorized spot.

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Paris and Aix-en-Provence. I use a wheelchair, so we stuck to taxis and Uber. Our experience with Uber in Paris was great. Our typical wait was 3 to 5 minutes. We only had one cancellation in a very tricky area. The taxis, however...well, most demanded cash. We did not know they were required to accept credit cards. We always had cash on hand, so they never demanded that we go to an ATM. But doing a whole cash transaction was way less convenient than paying beforehand for an Uber. (Guess using G7 taxis would've taken care of the problem.) BTW, I really enjoy your videos, and found them especially useful before our trip.

great tip! thanks!

We just came back from week trip. Mostly we used bus to get around so we could see the streets. To pay for it we used navigo in Apple wallet (you need latest iOS version in order to be able to add it to your wallet) Had good experience with uber (took it to Versaille because RER stop close to is was closed and to airport because we had early flight and were not sure we will make it in time on first RER) Once we got stuck in traffic in uber (took us 30 min instead of 15) but we were not overcharged. We did tip him extra - driving in the city is hard work and often unappreciated.

My wife and I will be in France at the end of June. Nice, Rennes, then Paris. Your videos have been an amazing source of information for us and have contributed to our holiday plans. Merci pour toutes les informations.

Great video- thank you! We walked a lot around Montmartre and felt safe even at night. Also we took buses only and were able to see more sights.

Thanks for another good and informative video! In Paris I mostly get around on foot. It is the path to missing the least of what there is to see in this very walkable city. My second choice is definitely the bus. As you all say, you can see more of the town than from the Métro, there are waaay fewer steps, the buses are clean and I’ve found the local folks on board to be a lot friendlier! I like to hop on one bus, say around Ópera (e.g. #68), take it over to the Montparnasse area, do some exploring, get some food and liquid refreshment and then hoof it or grab another bus back to near my base of operations. There are bus route apps and books maps and I use both when looking to get about Paris. 🤙🏽

I appreciate the tip on the G7 app! Merci!

Subway line #6, from Nation to Charles de Gaulle via the South bank is aerial almost all the way and you will enjoy a great trip through Paris.

7:45 I'm french and even I have been in that situation. If I can give you a gateway tip if it's already too late and you're in this situation of a fake taxi asking for cash only, say you're on a busniess trip and you only have the company card with no withdrawl option. They suddenly have a card machine coming out the glovebox. You'll still get charged insanely high, but you won't risk getting out the car at the atm with a menacing guy over your shoulder pressuring you and rising prices if he feels he's in control.

Montmartre is very sketchy particularly the front entrance from Anvers with all of the stairs; I was often approached by groups and they were not shy to harass tourists.

it's not certain day of month or week but it happen everyday. There are bus that go full way and bus that go only half way to cover the most crowded tourist zone or population so zone with less ppl who use the bus get skipped. You have to check the destination of the bus before hop on it always. Even so sometime they have shortage of bus and will skip the last stops and tell ppl to get off so they can go back to the starting point to pick up more ppl and tell you to wait the next bus which will go full way. But it only happen if 2 bus same number are near each other and suppose to go full way and 2nd one is near empty. Instead of do 2 bus full ways with not much passengers they would cramp all passengers to the 2nd bus so the first bus can go back to the starting line either one side or another depend where need extra bus the most to save time and money for everyone.

I don't know if this related to transportation per se but people should also know that Parisian drivers *completely* ignore crosswalks (pedestrian crossings) . Also, because of the way they drive, you don't know if they are going to slow down or not.

2 things about bicycle : I personally go for Lime, Dott or Tier, rather than Velib. Easier listing process - Lime’s even already included in your Uber app -, better assistance, and you don’t need to pick them up in predetermined stations that may or may not be full. Second,I’m notice that most comments say “I got almost hit”. Almost is the key word. There are no more accidents with pedestrians with bicycles than with cars or motorbikes, despite their lack of discipline. Why ? Whether driving a car, a motorbike or a bicycle, the operative word in Paris is “force your way through”. This means P loom as if you don’t see anybody so that other cars, bikes or pedestrians will let you through. But keep an eye in case the bluff does not work and be prepared to stop abruptly. That’s the operative word for everyone, also for pedestrians. Force or Bluff your way through but keep an eye out. The real danger for pedestrians come from the b. phones : far too many, Parisians ne non Parisians alike walk the streets and all too often the crossroads, staring intently at their phones. Sometimes with their AirPods blaring. That’s not keeping an eye out.

I would also like to add that when using any app, in any country for the metro or tube or anything underground, map your route before you go down! Map it on the street level, away from the entrance to any station. Signal for cell use is limited if any in these stations (underground) so mapping where you have a signal is paramount! 😉 Also, have your metro card/ticket in your hand and ready to go before you go down. My husband almost got rolled once and had he not tapped in just in time as he went through the turn-style he would’ve been pickpocketed. We really enjoy riding bikes in other countries. Feet do get tired from walking so much and bikes are fun alternative to give your feet rest. Pay attention to signs and know the rules before you use a bike. Be sure that your bike is in good condition before you remove it from the doc. If your seat is turned backwards that’s an indication that the bike is not working well. Thank you so much for your videos. They’re fun to watch, and you give a lot of good information. Hope to return in the fall. Cheers.

Again, loved our trip to Paris last summer. I have both the Bonjour RATP and IDF Mobilités apps on my phone (didn't uninstall them cause we'll eb going back in the future and I'm planning on going for either the Journées du Patrimoine or the Salon des Transports Collectifs at Porte de Versailles one day and I want to do some transit fanning, so the apps are still very useful in planning my itineraries from home in Montréal). Most of the places we did, I knew how to get there because we went in 2007 for our honeymoon trip and I just feel like I'm at home in Paris. For those that don't know, the RER is basically an express regional metro, and the Transilien are the commuter trains. I took both and I enjoyed it immensely, using it once to go to Chelles and another time to go to Fontainebleau. Kinda fun going at 160 km/h on a commuter train. The fastest I've been on an AMT/exo train here in and around Montreal was about 90 km/h. Also, we didn't get any fake taxi drivers solicit us at CDG. If we had (and I knew real taxis never went inside to ask for rides, merci Antoine and Colleen!), I would have told them off en bon québécois, lol! Hope I get the chance to bump into you next time we're in Paris. Salut!

It's always funny hearing a french guy pronounce the word route "raoute" like you do at 2:07

When using an escalator without going up the steps, keep to the right. The left lane will be used by people who will use the steps like those of a staircase and who will therefore go up more quickly. Not doing it means getting to know the famous reduness of Parisians. 😋

a VERY important rule in the Paris metros / RER, if you don't walk on the escalators STAY TO THE RIGHT. Tip for all tourists

Gare du Nord - Gare Montparnasse: RER B to Denfert Rocherau et puis Metro 6 vers Montparnasse. Metro 4 is direct but much more crowded and a long and annoying way from Montparnasse Bienvenue to the station (nightmare!). The 6 stops directly at the station Montparnasse.

9:51 As a parisian, they dont stop because pedestrians are hesitating. When walking and trying to crosse bike lane, I never wait. Just confident walk, 10meters clearance with a coming one is enough, and that's it. They HAVE TO stop, pedestrians have the priority, period. If they hit me, they're in trouble, so i guarantee you they slow down.

Buses have their own bus corridors most of the time and they are often faster or same time than taking the rail network. It all depends on the route. Let's not forget that when taking the metro or the train we need to count the time to get to the platform and if there is a connection.

Metro and bus are the way to go. I agree that the apps are very user friendly! Taxis - at CDG I'm surprised they haven't set a distance limit for solicitors at the lane to the taxis to protect people from scams. I have had the issue of "my credit card machine isnt working" in an official taxi from CDG, too.

Wow, buses are so cheap, just like in London! For comparison, I pay 2.50 € for the so-called "short distance" trip, which is only up to 5 stops from where you start (I'm in Germany, near Cologne.)

I wish you put the links to the G7 and train apps. When I look there are several and I want to make sure I get the correct one.

To put the everyday is leg day. I live in Paris and have an office job. Just to go to work and getting back home, it’s 8 000 steps and 20 levels of stairs.

I live in France (not Paris, other large city) and occasionally go to Paris for business. The last time I was there, I happened to be heavily pregnant and carting around a wheelie grocery bag. I was completely shocked by the lack of elevators and escalators in the métro. At least in Lyon, the métro/trams/etc. are more accessible for people with mobility issues. Just be aware.

As a Parisian : yes, uber drivers and other services like that will often cancel your trip (which automatically searches for another driver) if they don't want to do it. Don't be surprised, it's pretty common especially if it's a short ride. Try to find an area where the car can stop to get you, too. There's almost no space on roads in Paris, so please don't wait for your taxi in the middle of the way and wonder why everyone is giving you a hard time. Another thing to add is that taxis are, weirdly enough, the only ones that are legally allowed to hail riders to give them a ride. Ubers and other private driver services are not allowed to do it, but if a taxi hails you at a train station, it's a scammer. Paradoxical.

1 months in cdg parking is 300e in june and 750e in july/august

Stairs! There’s even a spiral staircase at L’Abbess! Some women were beginning to panic in that one I don’t know if it’s all Paris public street maps, but we noticed more than a few that were placed backwards, as if the language and an unfamiliar city weren’t enough. We happened to be standing where we could see the sign on the Winter Circus, proclaiming just that, but the map had it on the opposite side of the street from where it was. I’d never thought about map positioning until then

“Every day is leg day” - never a truer word spoken! I thought I was pretty fit but after the first 3 days in Paris my calves were screaming at me!! All those metro stairs.

Interesting that Anvers station wasn't recommended since it looked like a relatively easy station compared to Abbesses. Just remember to look for the elevator at Abbesses. The stairs are killer.
