巴黎市內基本只會見到法文, 沒有英文更沒有中文, 所以出發前要做好功課。
在巴黎自遊行其實很容易,只要有地圖在手, 基本上都不用怕, 但巴黎的建築物都什為相似, 要運用大家的方向感, GOOGLE MAP當然就不用怕啦, 但今次沒有買任何Wi-Fi蛋或網絡DATA, 全程靠自己, 方向感要靠我細佬。不懂法文不要緊但至少要識2, Bonjour (Hello, 你好)Merci (Thank you謝謝)


You won’t see any other language in Paris properly, besides French.

 My suggestion is well prepared. I believe 99% of you won’t get lost, if you have a map and a sense of direction. It is perfect if you have Wi-Fi or internet with you. In my experience, you will mainly meet nice people if you come with an open mind and try to speak some basic French (simply saying “bonjour” instead of “hello” and “merci” instead of “thank you” can make a huge difference).








市內交通:

Transportation:


在巴黎主要交通工具就是地鐵(Metro), 高速郊外快車(RER), 的士或巴士
Metro, Reseau Express Regional (RER), taxi and bus are the main transportation in Paris.



地鐵Metro

這次巴黎遊只坐了地鐵Metro, 基本坐地鐵都可到大部份的景點,而且列車班次都很頻密,列車通車時間也比較長,本人覺得在巴黎坐地鐵也很容易。 
The Paris metro may be the one of the best transportation you will find in Europe. It is very convenient and inexpensive, and will take you anywhere you need to go.




在巴黎地鐵站有自動售票機很易用的(可選擇語言),一般有兩種類型,接受硬幣或紙幣。地鐵全線勻一票價,每張為€1,80。一次購買10張還有折扣,而且沒有日期限制。車票記得要保留直到離站為止,因為隨時會有查票員出現。(但我們兩天都沒有遇上過)

Metro stations will be labeled with a large "M".



There is the Ticket Machine located at the Metro station and very convenient to use. Paris Metro Ticket is currently priced at 1,80€ for a single ticket .The most economical option is to get a book of 10 tickets for 14,10€ and available at any metro station. Remember to keep your ticket until the end of your journey in order to ticket checked by staff.


坐地鐵時要留意路線的方向, 就好像在澳門坐巴士一樣, 有自己的號碼和相反路線, 只要選對了和看懂了 Paris ET Environs(Metro, RER, Trains, ET Tramways), 輕鬆暢遊巴黎, 完全沒難道。如果是坐錯了方向或遲了下車,不用怕,基本上對面的列車就可以回到目的地。
The Paris Metro is very easy to understand. Each Metro line is labeled by a number and the direction of each line corresponds to its terminal station. Don't worry if you get accidentally get on a train going the wrong direction as you can get off at the next stop and get on the correct train without having to purchase another ticket.




Paris ET Environs(Metro, RER, Trains, ET Tramways)

其實就是一張列有四程交通工具的地圖,清楚地列明路線及大部分主要的站, 地鐵站有提供。
