Monday for the metro - Faidherbe–Chaligny.

Faidherbe–Chaligny Metro station in Paris, showing a blue illuminated spiral above the entrance at night, surrounded by Haussmann buildings, trees, and evening street life.

At Faidherbe–Chaligny (line 8), the metro rises to meet the night. Blue light coils around the column, cutting through the warm glow of streetlamps, a small sci-fi moment planted at a classic crossroads.
Down below, trains keep their quiet promises, carrying lives in every direction while the city above pretends not to notice.

This is Paris at its most modern and most familiar at once, a place where the future slips quietly into the everyday.

Paris practical:

It's a good stop for exploring the eastern parts of Paris, especially if you're interested in the historic Faubourg Saint-Antoine district known,historically, for furniture-making and craftsmanship!


“Every journey begins somewhere — in Paris, it often begins underground.”
