Subscriptions to Public Transport

Arriving in Paris on vacation there is a wide selection of types of season tickets for public transport to choose from.
The period of a week is hard enough to be able to handle compared to very short periods (3 days) or very long (one month).

Rue de Ménilmontant

A special mention to Rue de Ménilmontant, a street in Paris is rather special for this city.
It is indeed one of the steepest streets of Paris. If you happen to have to go in the highest part of the street, or east to the outskirts of Paris, I advise you not to get off at Metro Ménilmontant otherwise you had to make a nice climb! Choose rather to catch up with the two bus lines, 96 and 26. ( MAP )

The Pere Lachaise Cemetery

Being able to "see" so many celebrity all at once is not as easy as Père Lachaise. Certainly not see in the flesh ... but you can be spiritually close to your myths.
Reach the most famous cemetery in France is easy, there is a Metro station that bears his name (lines 2 and 3) just 250 meters from the main entrance, and another Metro station (Philippe Auguste, line 2) to 100 meters from the entrance. By bus you can get directly to the main lines 61 and 69.

The numbers of this large monument:

• 44 hectares in size;
• 1804 years of official opening;
• 70,000 graves;
• 5,300 trees.

Admission is free and on entering the atmosphere is ... cemetery! :-O Who would have thought it? In reality it's very popular with people who go there just to walk in peace, and of course many tourists with maps and GPS to find the person buried here. So do not expect a real morgue ...
These tools are required not to get lost and find a safe way in all the graves of people you want to visit.
It 's a great place and if you take shortcuts between the graves do not be surprised if you are in areas quite gruesome (it's also easy to see open graves for the trees that have had the upper hand).
Among the most famous people buried here:

1. Guillaume APOLLINAIRE (poet);
2. Honoré de BALZAC (writer);
3. Maria CALLAS (vocals);
4. Luigi CHERUBINI (musician);
5. Frédéric CHOPIN (composer);
6. Auguste COMTE (philosopher);
7. Jacques Louis DAVID (painter);
8. Eugène DELACROIX (painter);
9. Max ERNST (painter);
10. Louis GAY-LUSSAC (scientist);
11. Georges HAUSSMANN (prefect of the Seine);
12. ELOISA e ABELARDO (legendary lovers);
13. Jean de LA FONTAINE (writer);
14. Amedeo MODIGLIANI (painter);
15. MOLIERE (writer, actor);
16. Gaspard MONGE (mathematics);
17. Jim MORRISON (vocals);
18. Edith PIAF (singer);
19. Marcel PROUST (writer);
20. Gioacchino ROSSINI (composer);
21. Oscar WILDE (writer).

Obviously, the most visited grave is that of ... Jim Morrison, always full of flowers and even surrounded by barricades.
The second most sought after is that instead of Oscar Wild, and I recommend it to carry lipstick with you when you go to visit because it is a must ... baciarla. kiss her. In fact you will find thousands of lipstick kisses scattered over the grave!

How to cross the road

The rules are quite simple if you're at a traffic light:

• Always cross at pedestrian crossings;
• wait until the light turns green for pedestrians;
• cross-pitch fast enough (the green does not last long);
• Read any information that is affixed to the traffic lights.

Equally simple if you are at a pedestrian crossing is not regulated by traffic lights:

• get in pedestrian crossings;
• before going down the sidewalk make sure not to get any rider (they are the most undisciplined) looking at both right and left;
• advanced slowly (but firm) to the other side of the road;
• always best to check that cars stop!

Know that here in Paris is quite unique to find someone who ran a red light, at the pedestrian crossing also the car stopped several feet before you get there (even if you have not yet got off the sidewalk!).

It's to be specified, however, that many motorists are not French, nor the Parisians, and less respectful of rules and for this reason, especially in residential neighborhoods, always cross with caution!

Also take care when you are waiting for the bus on the sidewalk, especially if you are tall enough: go flush with the sidewalk and then have their outer right rearview mirror that leans toward the sidewalk, so dangerous for those on the curb because it could be hit the head.

The Phantom Metro Stations

The Paris Metro has officially more than 300 different stations scattered throughout the urban area. To these 300 stations are added, however, users benefit from having a fair number of stations that are called "ghost", meaning that although there are still a total state of disrepair as no longer fulfill their function.

Underground stations are now completely inaccessible to the public 4:

• Arsenal (line 5, between the St. turnips and actions Quai de la Bastille) MAP ;
• Champ de Mars (line 8, between the St. La Motte Picquet actions - Grenelle and Ecole Militaire) MAP ;
• Croix-Rouge (line 10, between St actions Sèvres-Babylone and Mabillon) MAP ;

How to Reach the Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport

There are many ways to achieve the 'Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport where they land most of Alitalia, Air France and EasyJet.

The most famous and used by tourists is the RER B at a price of € 8.70 can reach the airport in just over half an hour (starting from the Gare du Nord). To take into account that the first train is at 05:00 and last until midnight and a half hours (at intervals of about 15 minutes), and that this is the most subject to delays, inconvenience, crowds for cancellations in case of strikes or events.
