Paris
07/14/21 • 29 min
Paris. Do we even need a reason to talk about this city? One of the most visited places on the planet is also home to an abundance of public transport options and features one of the world's oldest metro systems. In fact, the word "Metro" was first used for the Paris train system, named after "The Paris Metropolitan Railway Company" (Compagnie du chemin de fer metropolitain de Paris), so you could argue that Paris invented the Metro system. There is always something happening on the Parisian rails, and born and bred Parisian Nathalie is here to talk all things Paris transport with us.
Check out her French language school "Cosmopoli French" if you are keen to learn a little French to help you on your travels.
Content Warning: The topic of sexual harassment is discussed between 10:00 minutes - 12:30 minutes. Please skip through this part if you find this material triggering.

You'd have a hard task ahead of you if you were asked to find a more visually stunning city than Rio. This is an incredible intersection of mountains, the ocean, rainforests and an urban blend of glitzy buildings alongside vertical labyrinths in the form of communities (favelas). Joining us to tell us all about all the happenings on the Rio subway network, we are chatting with Patricia, a proud Carioca (person from Rio). She's sharing some local subway history, some hilarious subway stories and some hot tips for how you can spend the perfect day in one of the world's hottest cities.
