Sometimes, it’s just easier to take the bus in Paris – or just more interesting, letting you see more of the city and helping you get your bearings. Paris’ bus system is completely tourist-friendly, and uses the same single-ride tickets and Carte Orange as the Métro. Electronic displays inside each bus tell riders the current position and which stops remain, which helps to eliminate any confusion.
Since the Métro shuts down just past midnight (or 2:15 for weekends), the Noctilien runs through the night, with hourly routes beginning at Chatelet. Tickets cost €2.70.
