The Travelin' Grampa The Travelin’ Grampa Touring the world without an automobile Focus on safe, fast, convenient, comfortable, cheap travel, via public transit. Forrest Bastille Day Saturday, July 15, 2017 France celebrtes Bastille Day July 14. Paris is six hours ahead of K&K in Collingswood, who celebrate it on July 15. Bastille Day party in Collingswood “Let ‘em eat cake,” say Keith and Kris Forrest, hosts of an annual Bastille Day Party at their swank residence on fashionable Bryant Avenue, in cosmopolitan Collingswood, one of New Jersey’s more elegant communities. It’s readily accessible by PATCO high speed rail line from many points in New Jersey and neighboring Philadelphia. Anyone who becomes French that day, as so many seem to become Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, is welcome. Festivities begin Saturday July 15 at 4 pm. If you come, bring an expensive bottle of Champagne, box of tasty croissants, pot of delicious bouillabaisse, a few beurre crepe suzettes, and a dozen napoleons, or at least a potato latke or two.

Famous subway-el stations of the world include, L to R, RATP’s in Paris, France, and PATCO’s in Collingswood, N.J. 1 The Travelin’ Grampa Forrest Bastille Day Edition Paris metro adds trains and cars for Bastille Day travelers On Bastille Day, more Paris residents and visitors ride the Metro, its regional subway-el system, than on a normal workday. Anticipating this, RATP, Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens*, adds more trains and train cars. RATP is responsible for most public transport in Paris and environs, including tram and bus services. The Paris Metro itself has about 300 trains running on 16 lines that have 303 stations, including many near the most popular tourist attractions. *English translation: Autonomous Operator of Parisian Transports. Metro doesn’t run all night long Paris Metro trains do not run 24 hours a day. On Thursday and Friday July 13-14, last trains are scheduled to reach their terminus about 2:15 am. Also, on Bastille Day, some stations are closed, due to festivities blocking station entry and exit places. For instance, from 8 am to 12 noon, a parade will keep the Tuileries station closed and empty. During that time, Concorde station entry and exit will be impossible, but train connections within will remain as usual. Champs-Elysées Clémenceau station usually is open, until entry and exist become hazardous; then it is closed. Franklin D. Roosevelt station will have access only at its Avenue des Champs-Elysées entrances. Charles-de-Gaulle station will have Etoile Avenue access only. At 9 pm many stations will be closed. To watch fireworks shot from the Eiffel Tower, riders can use Pont de l’Alma station or Ecole Militaire station. Stations near the Champ de Mars usually get so full they become inaccessible.

Presidents Trump and Macron review airshow and parade On July 14, 2017, Bastille Day and 100th anniversary of USA entry into World War I , the presidents of France and the United States review a spectacular display of military paradeship, including U.S. and French troops marching near the Arc de Triomphe and U.S. Air Force fighter jets cruising the sky, with flags, horses and latest military weapons and equipment on display, “the sort of spectacle that Trump wanted to stage at his own inauguration in January,” said a news story in The Washington Post on Thursday July 13. President Macron recently posted a YouTube video entitled “Make Our Planet Great Again.” The parade is slated to start at 10 am on the Champs Elysées. 2 The Travelin’ Grampa Forrest Bastille Day Edition Typical scenes from around Avenues Bryant and Champs Elysées Photo credit: Agence France Presse.

EZ10 driverless minibus on Paris street. Le Bus Direct poses before Arch of Triumph. Paris trying out driverless electric minibus/taxicab Called an EZ10 minibus, the contraption pictured above presently is being tested on Paris streets. Similar EZ19 tests have taken place in California, Finland, Japan and Singapore. In Paris, the vehicles run along a separate right-of-way, not on city streets and highways, although their developer claims they could navigate safely in traffic. Paris EZ10 passengers currently ride without paying a fare. EZ10 minibuses presently run between the Gare de Lyon (12th arrondissement) and Austerlitz stations (13th arrondissement). Each carries up to 12 passengers. Top speed: around 10 mph, supposedly the normal running speed of a typical young French man. Easy Mile, its marketer, says it needs no “heavy infrastructure as is the case with trains and trams,” and emits “extremely low emissions.” This comes at a time when a new law introduced by the French government bans all diesel cars registered before the year 2000 from driving in Paris, which is about 6% of all French cars. For more: http://easymile.com/ Le Bus Direct now runs from/to Charles de Gaulle Airport Direct bus service between Charles de Gaulle Airport and central Paris locations is provided by appropriately named Le Bus Direct. It replaces an old Air France operation. Route #2 bus runs between Charles de Gaulle Airport and: Paris-Eiffel Tower, Palais des Congrès de Paris, Place de l’Etoile at Champs-Elysées, and Trocadéro. Route #3 connects Orly and De Gaulle airports. Route #4 connects De Gaulle airport and Gare de Lyon and Montparnasse railway stations. Runs every 30 minutes. Tickets sold at airport bus stops, directly by driver, or online. Fares range from €17 to €21, depending on service. Paris Metro is mainly a subway system Paris Metro stations are mostly underground, with a few above ground due to local geography. Once past a Metro station’s turnstiles, everyone needs to have a valid ticket or smart card pass. A few stations have turnstiles but no ticket window nor ticket vending machines. Metro lines are numbered from 1 to 14, each a different color, with two “bis” [b or secondary] lines making 16 in total. At right, Metro platform signs like this one tell when next train is due to arrive. 4 The Travelin’ Grampa Forrest Bastille Day Edition Right: Outside station sign. Center: Paris Metro ticket such as this is purchased from a green vending machine, such as pictured at right, or from a human being at a station ticketing window. Current price for a single ticket is €1.90. Paris Metro system doesn’t give discount fare to seniors The Paris Metro, aka the Metropolitan, has about 700 trains on 16 different lines with about 300 stations. Anyone who can navigate New York’s subway system should have no trouble using the Paris Metro. From Sunday through to Friday, it normally operates for 20 hours a day from about 5:20 am to 1:20 am the following day. On Saturday, it usually remains open another hour, i.e., until 2:20 am. Basic Metro tickets are called t+ tickets. They expire 1½ hours after issue. They are good for transfer to other lines, during that 1½ hour period. t+ tickets also are good to ride on Paris trams, buses and on the RER railway within Zone 1. Tickets can be purchased singularly or in packs of 10 or 20. Prices do change, but at last check a standard ticket cost €1.90. Weekly pass €19.25. Unlike in the USA and the UK, seniors, aka the elderly, don’t get a discount fare. Tickets ae sold at Metro and RER stations and at bus terminals. Paris Visite multi-day unlimited rides pass is for foreign travelers only. Anyone can buy a Mobilis one-day pass. Foreign travelers can buy a special Paris Visite pass Foreign travelers can get a one-day Paris Visite card that gives nice perks unavailable to locals who use a one-day Mobilis pass. You can buy it online before you leave the USA and activate it on any day you choose. It’s valid for either 1, 2, 3 or 5 days unlimited use on RATP’s entire network, including: Metro, RER, day & night buses, trams, the Montmartre funicular, and SNCF suburban trains. Paris Visite privileges include: unlimited rides for low as €5.80 per day, 20% to 50% discounts on admission to 18 popular tourist attractions in and near Paris, including 20%-off for tickets to Disneyland, 30%-off at France Miniature, €20-off plus a bottle of champagne at Paradis Latin cabaret, a free shopping bag plus 10% off on purchases at Galeries Lafayette. Mobilis one-day pass saves rider time and trouble A Mobilis unlimited 1-day pass, unlike a “t+” paper ticket, allows transfer between bus and rail lines without paying an additional fare.

  • LST Awarded Renovation Contract for Paris Montmartre Funicular
    Sainte Hélène du Lac (Savoie, France), 22 February 2016 (after market close) MND: LST awarded renovation contract for Paris Montmartre funicular The MND Group (FR0011584549, MND), an innovative developer of mountain and urban mobility solutions, is listed on the Paris Euronext regulated market, compartment C. MND today announces that its subsidiary LST, a cable transport specialist and reputed ropeway designer and constructor, has been awarded the contract to renovate the Montmartre funicular railway by Paris public transport operator RATP. For LST, this is a major icon in the world of urban cable transport, as the funicular is the busiest in the world, carrying around four million passengers a year. The three-year contract covers the complete overhaul of the two machineries of the funicular lines and major inspections of the two cars. One of the many challenges involved in this highly technical renovation operation is to ensure continuous service during the work, which will be fit into a very narrow time frame between the end of the Montmartre harvest festival in October and the start of the Christmas holidays. The project therefore requires tight planning of on-site operations. Roland Didier, MND’s Deputy General Manager, made the following comments: “We are particularly proud to have won this iconic contract thanks to the efficient technical solution we were able to offer. It will strengthen our positioning in the urban cable transport sector, a hive of opportunities for which MND Group has renewed its product range and developed its innovative CABLINE system. Gaining the trust of a particularly demanding operator like RATP for a major line in its network proves that MND is regarded as a key player in the booming environment-friendly transport market, and brings us closer to our targets." 1 Find all the information you need on www.mnd-bourse.com About MND Group: The MND Group has been based at Sainte Hélène du Lac (Savoie), in the very heart of the French Alps, since 2004.
