Rapid transit system in Paris, France
The Paris Métro (short for Métropolitain) is a rapid transit system in Paris, France. It is one of the most extensive and busiest metro systems in the world, known for its density within the city limits and its architectural style influenced by Art Nouveau.
History
The Paris Métro was inaugurated on 19 July 1900, with the opening of its first line between Porte de Vincennes and Porte Maillot. The system was designed to provide efficient transportation within the city and to connect with the existing railway network.
Network
The Paris Métro network consists of 16 lines, numbered 1 to 14, with two additional lines, 3bis and 7bis, which are short branch lines. The lines are mostly underground and cover a total length of 225.1 kilometers. The system has 304 stations, many of which are known for their distinctive entrances designed by Hector Guimard.

Trains run frequently, with intervals of 2 to 4 minutes during peak hours and 5 to 10 minutes during off-peak hours.
Architecture
The Paris Métro is renowned for its Art Nouveau station entrances designed by Hector Guimard. These entrances are characterized by their ornate ironwork and distinctive signage. The stations themselves vary in design, with some featuring elaborate tilework and others being more utilitarian.
Future Developments
Several extensions and new lines are planned for the Paris Métro, including the Grand Paris Express project, which aims to add new lines and extend existing ones to improve connectivity in the Île-de-France region.
