Getting around
The best way to visit Paris is on foot and it's a very manageable city. Of
the next best option is public transport.
The metro is world-renowned for being efficient, fast, frequent and safe.
However, don't neglect the buses! You can see more of Paris from a bus
and get where you want to go too!
From the apartment: Romantic Montmartre is wonderfully located
for public transport. The local electric bus, the Montmartrobus, stops
almost outside the door and will take you around the neighbourhood
.
The nearest metro stations - just a few minutes away - are Abbesses or
Lamarck-Caulaincourt, both on the versatile line 12 - which will take you
to Concorde, the Left Bank and Montparnasse, and allow you to link
easily to anywhere else in Paris. The no. 80 bus from down the road on
rue Caulaincourt will take you directly to the Eiffel Tower.
Pack an extra passport photo so you can buy a multi-day pass, offering
unlimited travel on buses and metros. You can also buy a combined
transport and museum pass - ask at the metro station.

| A trip on a bateau mouche is a great way to |
| The Eiffel Tower - viewed from Montmartre |
| If you feel a need to get out of long walks, cycling, boating and horse-riding. The most famous also the Bois de Vincennes in the east. Farther afield, explore the Palais de Versailles built by Louis XIV, gardens; the Chateau de Fontainebleau and its forests; or the Chateau de Chantilly (where the cream comes from), complete with the original moat. Or visit the famous flea market at St Ouen: Les Puces |
| For the best ice cream in Paris, try Berthillon. Join the queues at the original Berthillon stands on the Ile de la Cité, esp in front of the restaurant Le Flore en l'ile. Also available around the city. Delicious! |
