From the ideally located Provinces Opéra hotel, let us guide you through the best ways to get around the City of Light. Are you ready? Let's get started!

Metro, Navigo, dodo: your ally for getting around Paris

The Paris metro isn't just a transport network, it's your pass to explore Paris in the blink of an eye! With 16 lines and over 300 stations, you can visit the whole city in just a few stops. Dreaming of seeing the Eiffel Tower? Visit the Louvre Museum? The metro will get you there in no time! From the Bonne Nouvelle station, right next to the Provinces Opéra hotel, you have access to every corner of Paris.

And of course, for greater flexibility during your stay, opt for a Navigo pass, or single tickets, depending on your needs. With such a vast network, it would be a shame not to make the most of it. All you have to do is hop on a train and set off to discover the City of Light!

For destinations further afield, the RER answers the call. Want to step back in time? Line C takes you as far as the Château de Versailles. Or why not spend a magical day at Disneyland Paris?

Vélib': pedal at your own pace and discover Paris differently

Looking for freedom? Why not discover Paris by bike? Getting around Paris by bike is a real pleasure, especially with Vélib', which lets you rent a self-service bike wherever you want and drop it off at your destination.

Imagine pedaling along the Seine, in the shade of the Luxembourg Gardens or on your way to the Eiffel Tower. The atmosphere of Paris with every pedal stroke is a great way to discover the city. And why not take a detour to the Jardin des Plantes, a centuries-old green setting in the heart of the capital?

Whatever your destination, by bike you're free to explore Paris at your own pace, while enjoying its many parks and gardens. So, why not hop on your Vélib' and set off on an adventure?

Cabs and VTC: comfort and peace of mind for your journeys in Paris

Need a stress-free way to get around after a long day of exploring? Cabs and VTCs are there to provide you with a comfortable ride, whether you're heading back to the Provinces Opéra hotel or to Orly airport. Don't feel like waiting in line or getting lost in the meandering corridors of the metro? Take a cab or VTC, and enjoy the comfort of Paris as it passes you by.

Parisian cabs have a definite advantage: they can use the lanes reserved for buses, allowing you to navigate easily through the city, even during rush hour. Want to extend your evening? Why not take a ride after a show at the Opéra? With cabs, everything becomes simpler and more serene.

Explore Paris on foot: let the city itself be your guide

The most authentic way to discover Paris is on foot! You're free to lose yourself in the charming alleyways, stop whenever you like and admire the luxury boutiques lining the Grands Boulevards. Paris is a city made to be explored on foot, and you'll never be far from a surprise: a pretty café, a hidden park or even a breathtaking view of the Seine.
