Not very nice!

I remember being stuck inside the station because the unstaffed ticket
barriers wouldn't accept my ticket. Unlike UK ones they were too big to
jump over. Fortunately one was broken so we eventually managed to escape!

You will have to get fitter :-) I once saw 5 African youths jump over the
barriers. The Parisians just looked at each other and shrugged their
shoulders .
