You simply go to

www.ratp.info/informer/anglais/index.php

and type in any 2 address in paris to get the best way to travel between them.

Take Metro 14 from: Gare de Lyonto Saint-Lazare (last stop)

At Saint-Lazare, grab the Line 12 to Porte de la Chapelle.

It%26#39;s a 30 minute trip. 1 metro ticket at 1.40euro

A longer but more direct way is bu bus. Number 65 takes you direct from one station to the other in about 40 minutes for the same price.

I%26#39;m not trying to be a smart-a__ (I seldom have to make much effort at that) but why not use this occasion as an opportunity to develop a little self-sufficiency by learning to use the very useful research and planning %26#39;..tools..%26#39; that are readily available to you and relatively easy to operate.

To begin with, what is the address of the HOTEL LANGLOIS? (it%26#39;s not as if this information won%26#39;t be important to you). Now, go to the main RATP web site--

http://www.ratp.com

Use the PLAN de QUARIER feature of that site to find the nearest Metro station to the hotel. Having discovered this, use the PLAN de LIGNES feature on the same home page to call up a map of the entire metro system. First, find GARDE de LYON on the map. Then find the Metro station that is closest to the Hotel Langlois. Then, trace the various routes between the two locations and you%26#39;re pretty much all set. Jot down your own itineray between the two locations (making sure to add the direction of the trains you need to take. Et Voila !! you%26#39;re well on your way to becoming your own, self-sufficient, filly-qualified, Metro %26#39;expert%26#39;....and able to figure out how to get anywhere, from anywhere else in Paris with little or no difficulty. It%26#39;s not as if this information and ability isn%26#39;t going to be needed during your visit. This ain%26#39;t %26#39;..rocket science..%26#39;.
