Paris 2024: The Grand Paris Express
The metro expansion whose aim is to transform the city from a normal-sized European capital to a metropolis the size of London.
People arriving at Paris鈥檚 Orly Airport for the 2024 Olympic games will be able to take an underground train straight to Saint-Denis where most of the Olympic action is taking place.
It's thanks to a line extension that opened on June 24. And that is just the 鈥榟ors d鈥檕euvre鈥�. The Grand Paris Express is a metro expansion on a massive scale whose aim is to transform the city from a normal-sized European capital to a metropolis the size of London.
What could it do for the Parisian, and French, economies?
