Full review
As with any city transport, once you've got used to the Paris Metro, it's really very simple and straightforward.
Unlike London, which names its underground lines, Paris underground lines are named after the town or location at the end of the line.
So for instance, in London, to travel North on the Northern line, the Paris equivalent would be to get on the Edgware line - i.e. the Northern most point of the Northern Line.
To travel south, you'd get on the Morden line - i.e. the southern most destination on the Northern Line.
Once you're used to this basic concept, it's very simple, straightforward and easy to use.
Only one word of caution: in Paris they have 1st class underground carriages. They are the carriages which have the most graffiti and damage! I booked a trip to Paris, and was impressed that it came with "free upgrade to 1st class metro travel". The carriages are in such a poor state, that I chose to travel standard class!
