And what's more, the buskers have real talent.
It was only later that I found out that the busking scene in Paris is tightly controlled by the the Paris Metro authority's busker programme (known as the Accord on Metro Space, or EMA) . Every year, artists go through an audition every year to win one of the 360 licenses to busk on the Paris underground, or the chance to perform for the 2.5 million commuters who use the Metro every day. Who knows, some of them might be talented spotted for a big break.. Leave a Comment

In addition you can also enter the main museum directly from the Metro stop, without having to go above ground. Leave a Comment

METRO:

 Louvre-Rivoli by Pieter11
- Station Bastille shows you a cartoon-alike image of the French history that took place on the square above the station: The French Revolution.
- Station Tuileries shows lots of articles from the whole of the 20th century and gives you a nice image of the history of the past century.
- Station Louvre-Rivoli is all designed to show the wealth of the museum above. Lots of nice statues are exposed in, to my opinion, the most beautiful station you´ll find in Paris. Leave a Comment

Some of the platforms on the Metro are amazing, we kept passing one in paticular and just had to stop and have a look at it. This was the stop Arts et Metiers, it is covered in sheet copper with port-holes along the platform with all art works inside.
We did this a couple of times just to wait for the next train. Leave a Comment

Take the Metro line 6 (goes between "Nation" and "Charles de Gaulle - Etoile").
On the part between "Pasteur and 'Passy" the train goes outdoors and you'll get a really nice view of Paris (at least the southern parts) as well as a view of river Seine, the Eiffel tower and the neighbourhoods.
Many musicians use this line to play music in the cars so you might get a real French experience. Leave a Comment

Contrary to what else I've written about France and Paris, I have to admit that the art nouveau metro stations are beautiful. If you're in Paris, stop a second and look at them. Leave a Comment
