- We focus on one of the most iconic features of life in the French capital: not the Eiffel Tower or Notre-Dame Cathedral, but the Paris underground metro network. How has it evolved since it was first inaugurated 120 years ago? And how is it dealing with current challenges like the growing number of commuters, as well as strike action? In this episode of French Connections Plus, Florence Villeminot and Genie Godula take a trip underground to discover the Parisian metro.

I love French connections! OMG even the metro in Paris is beautiful!!!!🇫🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow this video series has been amazing! Thank you for your work!
Merci for the information!
It so strange talking about metro, but showing literally seconds the interior of it. Especially when describing the most beautiful stations using the animation but not a video! What is wrong?
Very cool 🎉 love the history lesson
The scenery is above ground.
I loved taking the Metro when I lived in Versailles/Paris in 2018. I would read my book and enjoy the sights.
Isn't the metro old and dirty AF? all says the same things about the metro of paris.

I love the métro but in recent decades, I've grown attached to the bus which permits you to see the city while you travel. Also, often a bus line will be faster and more direct. With my Passe Navigo, however, I have many choices and can pick that which is most useful to me.
Mexico City's metro is modeled after the one in Paris.
Metro is Great if you can walk long distances .
Do Paris trains, including the RER, have AC?
Definitely not all them, some perhaps
The Paris Metro is not the second busiest in the world. Several systems in China beat out both Paris and Moscow. Also, the New York subway system runs neck and neck with Paris.
They said second in Europe you old fart
The second in Europe, it says in the video
It probably is, yes, although figures and numbers are quite murky. Before the pandemic, annual ridership was 1.5 billion trips. I'm saying: the metro alone. That's not counting RER and "transilien" suburban train lines. Line A of the RER alone does 1 million rides.... everyday. You probably can add a billion trips to the metro total, that puts it at 2.5 billion, at least. I only know the crazy Tokyo metro network to rival those numbers.

@@robertbarrows8847 i don't know where to get accurate figures
Rome did not like Lyon or its dioceses.
Lyon, Autun, Langres, Chalon, Macon.
Sens, Chartres, Auxerre, Troyes, Orleans, Paris, Meaux.
Tours, Le Mans, Rennes, Angers, Nantes, Corseul, Vannes, Carhaix, Jublains.
Rouen, Bayeux, Avranches, Evreux, Sees, Lisieux, Coutances.
Very disappointing! It should be retitled 'History of the Paris Metro' . If you want to know how the Metro works and how to use it this is a wasted 12 minutes.
