Grab hold of your destiny (or feel like it, anyway) on Metro Line 14. Get a seat right up front on these automated trains and pretend you’re the one steering it down the track. Paris’ metro system is over a hundred years old, but Line 14 – opened in 1998 – is one of its newer offshoots. Take in the old-world glamour of the Gare de Lyon and Gare St Lazare, the Neo-Classical elegance of the Church of the Madeleine and see the National Library of France, all from the comfort of the driver’s seat.
