Another thing I love so much about the Metropolitain is how French the signage, trains and the stations are. I adore the Art Nouveau entrances designed by Guimard. Here are a few of my favorites from my collection…
The trains themselves are French green and white and they are so clean.

They look trés elegant traversing over bridges with the grand architecture of Paris in the background

Even the stations are beautiful, with their curved rooftops, pristine mosaic tiles, bright lights, funky colorful art on the walls and immaculately clean platforms…

You can visit Metrorama for an amazing array of panoramic shots inside 40 Metro stations of Paris. This link is so awesome! When you are done playing, and it will take you hours…please come back and tell me which station is your favorite and why?
