The Paris Métro (
French: Métro de Paris) is the
rapid transit system in
Paris,
France. It includes 16 lines, primarily underground, with a total route length of 213 km (133 miles), with 298 stations (382 stops) (245 of these are within the 41 square miles of the City of Paris - the most dense provision of subway stations in the world). Lines are identified by numbers from 1 to 14, with two minor lines, 3bis and 7bis, which were formerly part of their parent line and only later became independent. The system, which has become one of the symbols of Paris, is notable for the density of its network in central Paris, and for its homogeneous architectural style, influenced by
Art Nouveau. The system was expanded later by an additional express network known as the
RER to reach further suburbs.
