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
(RAİgie Autonome des Transports Parisiens). The system is cheap, fast and meticulously signposted, comprising buses, underground mAİtro and suburban express trains, known as RER (RAİseau Express RAİgional) trains. The whole network is divided into five
zones
, though the entire mAİtro 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
