Paris-métro

THE KEY STRENGTHS OF THIS NEW MAP OF PARIS METRO, RER, TRAMS, AND OTHER TRANSPORT:

• It brings together, in just two versions, a single map for all residents of the Île-de-France region—whether suburban, inner-city Parisians, or those on the region’s outskirts.

• It faithfully represents complex connections and allows users to instantly spot longer transfers (including those involving extended walking distances).

• It organizes and simplifies an extraordinarily dense and extensive network.

• It preserves the geographical landmarks cherished by lovers of Paris and its surrounding region.

• It boldly adopts north–south and east–west axes—a logical and natural choice, yet unprecedented until now.

• It makes it easy to identify these radial axes as well as ring routes at a glance.

• It improves readability from a distance and at low resolution through a specially redesigned typeface.

• Thanks to its square format, it integrates perfectly into infrastructure, onboard vehicles, and in stations.

• It quickly familiarizes both daily commuters and occasional users with the network.

• It encourages public transport use through visually clear and intuitive routes.

• It highlights the freedom for users to explore the Paris metropolitan area and beyond.

• It aims to enhance Paris’s global prestige and distinguish it from other major international cities.

• It seeks to firmly establish itself within the unique history of the Paris metro map.
