Paris Métro stations are much closer together than London ones, and in some cases it makes no sense to keep open a low-traffic station that's just 100m from another, due to the cost of staffing them and the delay of a stop there to the entire line.
- HelloNurse 5y agoI remember walking between two stops of the same line within Châtelet-Les Halles (presumably current line 4), but maybe such a conglomerate is unusual even for Paris.
- johncoltrane 5y agoThe average distance is somewhere in the 500m-700m range so taking the métro might not be necessary if your destination is one or two stops away.
- fmajid 5y agoChâtelet-Les Halles is the biggest and busiest Métro and RER station in Paris and that's why line 4 stops twice there (at Châtelet then at Les Halles).
