Le Metro Paris

We’d decided to take the metro today, to head down to the champs Elysee. It was going to be too far for me to walk.

A friend had recommended we set ourselves up with an Île-de-France mobility card, this can be used on buses or trains. We uploaded it onto our phones, and set up a payment card. We bought a ticket to Franklin D.Roosevelt station. It all seemed very simple.

We entered the metro and passed our phone over the reader. It did the rest.

No need to open your phone, it identifies your ticket without having to do anything. I popped my phone away and we were soon on the platform.

All very clean, not crowded, and simple to use.

The Champs Élysée was looking beautiful with the fresh new leaves appearing on the trees, and the Arc de Triomphe looking majestic. Another beautiful part of Paris
