Monday is for the metro...Where the metro meets the warm glow of Paris nights.

 Ledru-Rollin metro station on Line 8 quietly captures the essence of everyday Paris.By day, commuters stream past its wrought-iron entrances; by night, the cafés light up, the gold “M” metro sign glows against the night sky and Av. Ledru Rollin hums with that familiar Paris vibe.

Opened in 1931 and named after Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin, a 19th-century lawyer and statesman, this stop has seen the city evolve from artisan workshops to modern bistros. 

Just a short stroll away:

The Marché d’Aligre, one of the city’s most vibrant markets

The Promenade Plantée, a leafy walkway built on an old railway viaduct and countless cafés perfect for people-watching over an evening espresso or glass of wine.

If you’re exploring Paris and want to experience where local life meets quiet design beauty, hop off at Ledru-Rollin and linger a little.
