Everyone said how easy it is to use the subways in Europe. We were a bit intimidated, so spent more $ on taxis. The last day we were in Paris, we had a tour planned to Versailles. We were to meet the group at Muse d'Orssy, then travel to Versailles together. We assumed we would be going on a bus, so were quite surprised when they handed out the subway tickets.
We were glad to be with a seasoned person who had used the subway before, as the signs were in French. The station and platform were quite dirty. The train itself was nice, including beautiful paintings on the ceilings and walls. The people on the train were pretty normal, except for one family. The mom had 4 or 5 kids with her, and they kept climbing up and sticking their heads out of the window. We were so sure they were gonna get their heads chopped off by a passing building or bridge.
