It is a witness to the construction of the city, the growth of the city and technological innovations. The Métro is an underground museum of social, political, cultural and daily life in Paris. The first line opened some 110 years ago, on 19 July 1900, notably to provide transport to and from the World Fair. Today, it is still line 1 linking the Château de Vincennes to the Grande Arche de la Défense. And, since 1900, the names of stations, their decoration and their layout evoke and represent the personalities, events and places that have marked Paris, France and sometimes the world. At Concorde station, you can read the Declaration of Human Rights written on white tiles. At Louvre Rivoli station, display cabinets containing reproductions of works exhibited in the museum indicate that a visit to the museum has begun. At Parmentier station, the subject is the importance of the widespread introduction of the potato from 1778, which came from Peru to France, following the work of the agricultural engineer Parmentier. At Louise Michel station, the eponymous teacher, anarchist, humanist and heroine of the Commune de Paris is celebrated … And on numerous platforms and in the corridors, anecdotes written on purple RATP signs also give information about the Métro and the characteristics of the different stations. What’s more the Parisian Métro also associates heritage with ecology. It is the fastest and most environmentally friendly mode of transport for getting around Paris.

	Discovering Paris’s heritage Back to top Heritage walks For those who prefer to explore the capital’s streets by themselves to discover Paris’s wonderful heritage, the Paris City Council has designed 31 thematic circuits to download from its website. ‘Paris et ses faubourgs’ (Paris and its faubourgs), ‘Sur les traces du Moyen Âge’ (On the trail of the Middle Ages), ‘Statues reliefs et décors’ (Statues and decors), are some of the subjects proposed. Signage and heritage work well together A guide book is useful when exploring the city, and there is also information (in French) provided by the Paris City Council next to historic buildings, parks and gardens, etc.. The Batobus, sightseeing on the river This mode of public transport is a delightful way of discovering the finest monuments in Paris from the water. The eight stops at which the boat calls at on its circular tour carry the names of the sights to be seen: Tour Eiffel, Musée d’Orsay, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Notre-Dame, Jardin des Plantes, Champs-Élysées, Louvre, Hôtel-de-Ville. www.batobus.fr More info Paris Museum Pass Paris has so many artistic, cultural and historic attractions that a Paris Museum Pass is virtually indispensable for making the most of all these places! Available for either 2,4 or 6 consecutive days, visitors have free access (without having to purchase an admission ticket) as many times as they would like, to the 60 or so participating museums and monuments without having to queue. www.parismuseumpass.com More info
