Getting around

Finding your way around Paris is remarkably easy, as the city proper, stripped of its suburbs, is compact and relatively small, with an integrated public transport system - the
RATP
(RA©gie Autonome des Transports Parisiens). The system is cheap, fast and meticulously signposted, comprising buses, underground mA©tro and suburban express trains, known as RER (RA©seau Express RA©gional) trains. The whole network is divided into five
zones
, though the entire mA©tro system fits into zones 1 and 2. Information is available online at
.
At its widest point, Paris is only about 12km across, which, at a brisk pace, is not much more than a pleasant two hours' walk. Other useful information
