Hopstop in Paris?
 

Does anyone know what the Paris version of hopstop.com is?.....that is the website that gives door to door directions via metro, walking or whatever your mode of transportation is? Or if one exists?

I have found that Hopstop is not very accurate. For example, buses that don't run weekends or the time of day you are going.

If you have a device with Palm, PocketPC, MS Smartphone, Blackberry, etc., see

You can download the program, along with the Paris Metro and Bus point to point software for free.

Or, just go to

www.ratp.fr

Thanks, I may enlist my husband's help to download the Nanika problem. I used hopstop the last family trip we took to New York and I found it was accurate enough. It was nice to incorporate the directions in our itinerary so we didn't have to study a map before each outing. I'd like something similar to plot a few of our outings ahead of time in Paris.....where I REALLY don't know the metro lines.

Sorry I meant Nanika *program*

I find ratp.fr works just fine. In fact, it's far better than most other cities' own transportation websites' trip planners.

Ratp.fr isn't bad. I tried getting directions from our apartment to a grocery store nearby, though, and maybe I'm missing something but it's not showing step-by-step directions, which is what hopstop.com does (tells which exit to take out of subway station, turn left or right, etc.) And...of course it assumes I want to take public transit, which I wouldn't want to take to this particular supermarket or any other address within half a mile of our apartment.
