Paris Travel Guide: Paris is a city that everyone dreams of visiting, but it has to be said that language communication can sometimes be a huge obstacle. Paris's public transport system is complex and intricate, with as many as 303 metro stations alone, and a wide variety of ticket types. Coupled with the language barrier, it can be quite a challenge for everyone!
Paris is divided into five zones. Zone 2 is known as "Little Paris," comprising 20 arrondissements (don't confuse the zones with the arrondissements). Zones 3-5 are known as "Greater Paris." Little Paris plus Greater Paris equals Île-de-France. Most major attractions are concentrated in Zone 2, but there are also many must-see places outside Zone 2: Versailles is in Zone 4, and Disneyland and Fontainebleau are in Zone 5. Ticket prices differ depending on the zone number.
