Does changing lines on paris metro involve lots of walking like for the london tube?

Question

Edit: Um I meant the london underground in general. Isn't there only one london tube system?

Answer 1

It's often about 1min

But some stations are very long (5min or more)

Answer 2

I can't compare to London because I've never been to London, however...

Changing lines on the Paris metro did involve a little bit of walking, but I didn't think it was very bad and I didn't think it was A LOT of walking. And the signs make it pretty easy to tell which way you need to go.

Answer 3

Transfers bewteen metro lines are usually short (3 minutes).

Transfer bewteen metro and RER lines are longer because RER tunnels and platforms are a lot deeper under the ground.

Answer 4

Some stations - are well known for having to walk very long -

Ex : Montparnasse or Opera RER/Metro - but in such cases there are kinds of rolling carpets - which is quite better

Answer 5

Which London tube are you referring to??

Answer 6

It's not nearly as bad as the London underground but there are places that yes, it might involve a bit of a walk.

Answer 7

It really depends on the station.  In some of them, it's simply a matter of going up or down a short flight of stairs.  In others, it seems like you're walking forever.
