I love the challenge of figuring out my connections, and use RATP website to guide me. Still at times difficult to find location of the return bus, but always possible with help from locals. I get very excited to ride a new line, like #42 from Gare de Nord, yesterday. Pen and paper in hand, to take notes, as you said. Do this all the time! I'm from Portland Oregon, where we also have excellent public busses and trams, but nothing like Paris!abcqdghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859984235039787372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-44485826046792316942014-05-24T18:39:04.105-04:002014-05-24T18:39:04.105-04:00Dear Paris Breakfast,

We still don't have that here in Montréal: there are apps for people with mobile phones, but the affichage makes it accessible to everyone. <br /><br />Psst, "arrêt" is masculine.lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-14064710613180380592012-04-28T09:24:10.291-04:002012-04-28T09:24:10.291-04:00I wish you had all of these types of surviving in ...I wish you had all of these types of surviving in Paris all tagged and grouped with a name so I could read them all with one click!<br /><br />Someone told me to take the bus when I first moved here, but I was scarred by taking american buses, and I really liked the metro so I didn't listen. The buses are less smelly and more interesting.Emily in Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464208943048546658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-48928086269634987622012-01-08T09:26:53.374-05:002012-01-08T09:26:53.374-05:00I always take the bus when I'm in Paris, a gre...I always take the bus when I'm in Paris, a great way to see the city.

You see so much more. I use the Ratp website (http://www.ratp.fr/en/ratp/c_5000/accueil/) to help me plot my trip. It is excellent and includes times, maps, and connects with the metro, RER or trains. My favourite bus is the No. 69 which takes in Père Lachaise cemetery,the Bastille, the hip Marais, Hotel de Ville, the Louvre ,Jardin des Tuileries, Musee d’Orsay, rue St Gremain, rue du Bac and rue de Grenelle. But wait there’s more! It goes past the magnificent Invalides and you end up at the feet of Eiffel Tower. That’s a lot of Paris for a 1€70!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-78900142698056323702012-01-06T04:48:41.549-05:002012-01-06T04:48:41.549-05:00Thank you HARRIET!!
