Transportation in Paris

In my last post, I shared a little bit about what I saw of the car situation in Paris.  All good if thats what you're into, but I really dig the other possibilities.  These options make much more sense to me!    

Bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles are where it's at.  They are everywhere and I saw all kinds and types! They actually looked like a very comfortable, realistic, and very cool type of transportation for this beautiful city, especially in all that traffic!  Take a look at some previous post for some cool shots around the city of this cool way to get around and in the mean time, here's some more.

Looks cool, right?

And way easier parking!

Ok, this one is not as spiffy but, hey, I'd drive it!

Rental bikes, pretty cool right?

Just be careful! Ha.  

Bicycles are cool.

But you've got to know by now that Paris has pretty good public transportation systems set up.  The metros, trams, trains, and buses, even boats for the river Seine.  Take a quick look at this article here for a  real quick run down.  And take a look here about transportation in Paris while you're at it!

Gare De L'est, one of the largest and oldest train stations in Paris.

More info of the Paris Metro here for tourists. 

Also, a good thing to have is a map of the city, train, etc lines so you don't get lost.  I saw this recommendation below and so wish I had seen this before we went on our trip, but I will definitely get it for our next trip!  Found this helpful hint here.

And a little water action for your liking.  We didn't get a chance to try this out, but it sure did look fanciful!  The links above on public transportation tell you more about boat options in Paris.

And we loved the open bus tours we took in Paris.  Learn a little more here from a previous post.  Okay, that's all I've got for today.
