Question

PLEASE HELP I BEG YOU!!!

The Metro is tricky in France. Each line has a starting point and an ending point. When you get on a metro line - you are going in either one direction or another. Say you were on La Ligne 8 - it goes to either Balard or Creteil / Pointe du Lac.

EXAMPLE ↓

I will show you how to go from Bastille to Pigalle...
If you are at the Bastille and want to go to Pigalle:
Take Line 8 (toward Balard)-
to line 4 (toward Porte de Clignancourt),
transfer at Strasbourg Saint-Denis-
to line 2 (toward Porte Dauphine),
transfer at Barbès Rochechouart - arrive at Pigalle.

Choose one of these destinations from Bastille. Show how you would navigate the Métro (just like the above example) to get to:

Le Musée d'Orsay←
L'Opéra

Answer 1

Hi !

Opéra > Musée d'Orsay =
When you are at Opéra métro station, take the line 8 (towards "Porte Balard")
Then transfer at "Madeleine" station to line 12 (towards "Mairie d'Issy") and stop at "Solférino" (about 12 minutes)

Musée d'Orsay > Opéra
On the way back, from "Solférino" take the line 12 (towards "Aubervilliers/Front populaire")

Then transfer to "Madeleine" station to line 8 (towards "Créteil/Pointe du lac") and stop at "Opéra"


from "Bastille" to "Pigalle" =
either the way you said =
Take the line 4 (towards "Balard")
Then stop at " Strasbourg Saint-Denis"
and transfer to line 4 (towards "Porte de Clignancourt")
Then stop at "Barbes Rochechouart" station to line 2 towards "Porte Dauphine"
Arrive at "Pigalle" station
All together , with Bastille and Pigalle, 2 transfers and 11 stations.

OR

Take the line 5 (towards Bobigny/Pablo Picasso)
Then transfer at "Gare de l'Est" station to line 4 (towards "Porte de Clignancourt" )
Then transfer at "Barbes Rochechouart" to line 2 (towards "Porte Dauphine")
Arrive at " Pigalle" . (about 25 minutes and if you count Bastille and Pigalle , Pigalle will be the thirteenth métro station .


hope that's what you were asking for !!
