Default OT - Paris Metro...

I know all about the Underground, or at least a lot about it, with regards
to zones and travelcards, and the most economical way of getting from A to
B. Is there such a site that explains the same for the Paris Metro,
preferably in English?


What do you need to know?

The metro has a fare system very similar to LU, with zones (I think there
are about 6). Unlike LU, most of the *metro* is confined to zone 1 (which is
clearly identified on all metro maps). However, the RER forms a much larger
Paris-wide network where the other zones come into play.

AFAIK they don't have travelcards, but at 60p a journey, it isn't exactly
expensive.
