The Paris Metro (underground subway) is the best-developed transportation system in Paris and the fastest way to get around the city. There are 16 lines, numbered 1 to 14 with two minor lines, 3bis and 7bis. Lines are identified on maps by number and color, and direction of travel is indicated by the terminus.
The RATP app is a great tool to help you plan and navigate your way through Paris (metro, RER and bus). In main metro stations, there are help desks where you can always ask for a Paris metro map and help with purchasing tickets or passes. There are also automatic machines (with different languages options) from which you can purchase your tickets and passes. Offers for the metro, RER train and bus:
