| If you are looking for a Paris property to rent out to holidaymakers you should learn as much as you can about the travel options available, as hard to reach places may deter some people. People travelling from other countries usually tend to arrive by air to either Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports. Charles de Gaulle is North of Paris and you can get a train from here to Gare du Nord. Orly is South of France with a train service running to Gare d’Austerlitz. Gare du Nord is very close to the bohemian area of Montmartre. Gare d’Austerlitz is close to Notre-Dame, the Latin Quarter and the Southern part of the River Seine. These are the two main train stations, however for holidaymakers travelling in from other areas of France there are a number of other train stations. These stations are all linked into the Metro, which covers most of central Paris. However if you are thinking of purchasing a Paris property outside the city you will need to consider available travel. Gare de Lyon has a line that follows the River Seine Southwards and also travels through Vincennes. Lines from Gare St Lazare travel out to Nanterre and the university and also to St-Germain-En-Laye. Gare Montparnasse has services out to the famous Versailles including the parc and chateau. Finally lines from Gare de l’Est takes in Bobigny and Montreuil. For central Paris the Metro is operated by RAPT who also run the busses so many ticket are interchangeable. Single tickets are sold either individually or in packs of 10, called a 'carnet'. One ticket for zones 1&2 costs about £1.60, a carnet of 10 passes is £11.40 with a carnet of child passes costing approx £5.70. The underground and bus services are great but holidaymakers need to know there is a lot of walking involved. Want a Paris Property?
