Meet your guide outside the Abbesses station and receive your metro tickets. Begin your journey by descending the deepest spiral staircase in the network, adorned with colorful murals. Next, head to Cité station, located under the Île de la Cité. Marvel at its retro-futuristic atmosphere, with opalescent globe-shaped lamps and metal cages. Continue to Arts et Métiers station, where the platform is styled like Jules Verne's Nautilus, with riveted copper plates covering the walls. Then, make your way to Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre station. Admire the 'Kiosque des Noctambules,' a colorful structure made of Murano glass pearls, and explore the cultural showcases inside the station. Finally, visit Concorde station, where the walls are entirely tiled with the 44,000 letters of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
