Metropolitan: An ode to the Paris Metro

 by Andrew Martin

Who could have thought that a book about trains could be so interesting and amusing.

I finished this book while on a short visit to Paris and I have to say that as a result of reading this book I was looking at trains and stations in a much more interested way. Martin takes us through the history of the metro before diving into a line by line description and it is readable at every stage-well maybe not the details about the different types of train. Loved it 9/10
