Paris local transport services: Central Paris is surprisingly compact so walking is one of the best ways to get around. Additionally the bus, metro (subway) and RER (Regional Express railway) system is inexpensive and easy to use. A variety of ticket options are available and can be obtained from the main metro and RER stations as well as at some of the tourist offices. Free transport maps are available at main stations and tourist offices. The Paris Viste (tourist pass) combines entrance to museums and travel for one, two, three or five consecutive days.Day trips : One hour away by train from Paris Saint Lazare station is Chartres, known primarily for the impressive Cathedral of Notre Dame, which is visible from the moment you exit the railway station. However there is much more to explore here, especially when wandering around the Old Quarter or visiting one of the many excellent galleries and museums.Alternatively Versailles, famed through the treaty signed here after the First World War, is easily reached by RER line C5 in just thirty minutes. | |||||
