Getting There

Travelling in Paris is best accomplished by foot, due to the infamous traffic in the city. There is so much to see, and one should really spend time walking to the many famous areas if they want the full experience. One can easily find the Hôtel de Ville in the centre of Paris on the Rue de Rivoli, but for those who simply must have transportation, Paris’ rapid transit (the Paris Metro) lines 1 and 11 have stops at the Hôtel de Ville. In addition, there are countless taxicabs and other public transports that will get you there in no time at all.
