Paris Metro, Line 12

Tip for travellers: If you take this line running from Porte de la Chapelle in the north to Mairie d'Issy in the south, one of the best places to get on or off is Assemblée Nationale. This is because few if any French députés take the tube. They prefer to travel by taxi when they arrive at about 10.30 am and again when they leave work shortly after 2 pm.

Some of the stations on this most evocative of Parisian metro lines:

Max Factor

Jules et Sandy

Abyss

Pigtail

Julien d'Orcel

San Pellegrino

Assemblée Générale (Disneyland)

Tobacco Road

Our Lady of The Fields

Comtesse du Barry

Montparnasse-Wilkommen

Pastor

Garbit

Volontaires (You, You and You)

Richid (Beau Gérard)

Emoluments

Issy-Moulinex
