Public transportation is very easy and the most common way to navigate and get around Paris. When living in Paris for the summer, you can expect to use public transport, especially the subway and the bus, on a daily basis to commute to your internship. The subway operates generally between approximately 6:00 am to 00.00am, so travel in the early morning hours may involve night buses and/or taxis.

You will receive the Navigo Package Month upon arrival which allows you to take advantage of the public transportation system with unlimited rides with the bus, metro, tram and short-distance train in Paris (Zone 1-3).
