This Saint Paul Métro Station is in the heart of le Marais shopping area. There is a lot to see…read moreand do here. The station is located between Rue de Rivoli and Rue St Antoine, near Eglise St Paul and St Louis Church. There are both retail shops and cafés in every direction. So just start walking and you find something. Near the station we found Charcuterie Traiteur, which sells both sausages and saucisse de Lacaune (small ones), along with cheeses and desserts, while also operating a small sandwich shop in back. Nice. Also nearby is Eglise St Paul and St Louis Church, which in itself is a reason to visit here. The church is incredible and is magnificent inside. You have to see it's beautiful altar, organ and naive. Exploring the le Marais can be a lot of fun. You'll never know what you'll discover. Enjoy the journey.

As you can probably tell from the name, this station happens to be located next to a bridge. Well,…read moreprobably not unless you are French, or are at least familiar with the french word for bridge (pont). Well, it is a station, which means that you can catch trains from here, and also being Paris, you aren't actually all that far from a metro station (at least in most places), which I have to say is pretty cool.

Well, it turns out that this station is located next to the old city hall. I'm not actually all…read morethat sure if it is still used as the city hall - it has probably moved elsewhere, but it is one of Paris' more famous buildings - well, to the extent that there are so many famous buildings here that it is difficult to know which ones to go and visit, as long, of course, as you don't go and visit the really touristy places. Anyway, yeah, this station is quite handy, especially if you want to check out the Hotel de Ville.

I'm not sure if this is the station that you use to get to Notre-Dame, but based on the name I…read moreguess it it (I thought that there was a station on the island, but I could be wrong). However, leaving that aside, the other thing that I liked was not so much the cathedral, but rather the fountain nearby, which I have to say is pretty impressive. Oh, and there is also quite a few cafews around here, if you are inclined to just sit back and relax, as some are prone to do here in Paris.

I actually hurried down here because despite a wander through the Tulieries being quite a pleasant experience. Anyway, this is a station that pretty much runs from the Louvre all the way up to La Defense, and the Avenue Champs d'Elysee. Like most of the stations on the metro, it isn't all that deep, meaning that getting to the platform is pretty quick.

They have a decent amount of places to get a bite to eat, but the lines are long and there's nowhere to sit. The bathrooms smelled awful, but at least they're available.

We went through Gare du Nord to go to London last month, and EuroStar has actually gotten worse. I suspect this has more to do with Brexit than the train station, but it was not fun waiting in that line. It got extra unfun when my three-year-old told me he was feeling sick, then threw up all over the floor. So you know what, I'm calling it even. Gare du Nord is annoying but useful and gorgeous, and my offspring has now vomited on the floor (I ddi clean it up). I'm also giving myself permission to skip reviewing the Paul stall, where my mom picked up some pretty decent pastries and sandwiches. Three stars, and we'll see each other next time.
