There shouldn't be much to write home about…read more My awe and wonder over them probably betrays the fact that I live in a city that was shortsighted enough to tear out their tram system and replace it with more roads. But there are a few interesting things here. It's an end of the line station so there's no confusion about what direction you're going. That's handy. And there are's a couple restaurants and a small grocery store in case you need a little something to eat. And it drops you off in a town whose literal translation is Jewville. It makes me smile every time I see that sign. A name like that would never fly in the US. But the real fun, the thing that will get your heart truly pumping is the parking lot. The transitions from level to level were built with exactly 10 cm of clearance on either side so fold back those mirrors, pucker up them cheeks and pray for the best. And the only place you can pay for parking is way on the furthest edge of the second floor. So if you parked on the third floor you either stop on the second, walk all the way to the end of the lot, pay, walk all the way back to the elevator and then head to your floor. Or you drive from the third to the second floor, park on the short, flat area, position your car so that the passenger door can open in the only gap in the wall, climb over the center console, pay, climb back over the console and leave. Could they have put a payment machine in some flat spot at the exit? Sure they could. But how much fun would that be?

Loved the Paris Metro and RER trains. I went everywhere in Paris via RATP and used their online…read morewebsite to get around to various destinations. Also used Apple Maps with it. Are the stations and tunnels old & dingy? Sure. But they do their jobs. It reminded me of the subways in NYC because the trains were so frequent and accessed everywhere I wanted to go. Compared to San Francisco, it was amazing. Just be aware at the Montmartre station, the stairway up goes round and round and round forever. It was never ending, but I was very grateful to not have been one of the many tourists there who were lugging their rolly bags up those never ending steps with them. Some of the agents working in the Metro stations don't speak english, even in the main large stations. Luckily the little station I used for my main departure route had an english speaker and suggested I get a Navigo card since I was staying 2 weeks. It cost 10 euros, you need to get a photo (much smaller than US passport size, and they will cut it down to fit) and they will upload whichever amount pass you want on here - weekly pass is minimum and those are from Monday to Sunday, no matter which day you purchase it on. The Navigo card is good for ten years. Just buy your tickets and keep them on you. The 2 weeks I was there, on three occasions, Metro Police/Officials checked everyone for their tickets. Two times was in the tunnels of I don't remember which stations, once was just before arriving to the Palace of Versailles when they fined a handful of confused tourists and an international american student 35 euros each. A ticket to the Palace of Versailles Rive Gauche station from the Saint-Placide station in the Louvre area was just 4.15 euro. If you're disabled, RATP may be difficult to navigate. They do say they've made many stations disability friendly with escalators and elevators, but it didn't seem that way with many of the stations. They're still working on it. Paris is imo not a friendly place for disabled and wheelchair users. Alas, too old and too many cobblestones. Things that make the city amazing also has its drawbacks and this is one of them.

Actually, this place does stick in my mind because it was when I discovered that the SNCF can actually be quite unreliable, but so much because of the trains but rather due to the human factor. Basically we had to travel all the way into Paris and then back again. As for the station, the entrance was quite impressive, but it had been done up to celebrate 1000 years since the battle of the Somme. As for some of the options in the plaza, well, I wouldn't bother.

So I quickly learned that metro is the way to go - this station was like a 5 minute walk outside the hotel and I was easily able to purchase one-way tickets for anywhere I wanted to go. I found staff helpful when asked questions (only once) or if we needed to purchase from them (again once) and they have clean and on-time trains. Two or three exits make it easier to come out where you need to be.
