<b>Highly detailed neighborhood maps</b>
<b><i>Plans de quartier</i></b>
http://www.ratp.info/orienter/plan_telech_quartiers.php
These are the RATP maps posted at every Métro stop to orient passengers to the district immediately around the station. They are in pdf format, and can be viewed and printed on any computer or PDA (and a few phones!) with the free Adobe Reader from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
The maps are in alphabetical order, in three dropdown lists. The name of the first and last stop in each group is shown; for example, the first list covers <b>Abbesses</b> to <b>Funiculaire</b>. Pull down the list containing the station you want, highlight your selection, and click <b>OK</b>.
A couple of notes on what these maps depict:
The box that names the Métro or RER stop contains the number or letter of the line(s) serving that station.
Colored boxes contain the numbers of bus lines that stop where the word BUS is shown in a circle. Adjacent to each box is the name of the endpoint of the line, which indicates the <i>Direction</i> of that service.
Blue boxes with letters in them indicate the routes of night bus services: the so-called <i>Noctilien</i> network.

The period between the beginning of morning CT and the end of CT is "day" for purposes of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
There are certain things that certain pilots with certain ratings and certain endorsements are permitted to do with certain aircraft having certain lighting during day that they can't do at night.

Phone number for SNCF
TimS
Date: 07/18/2006, 12:20 pm
The SNCF English-speaking number [is]... from the US, dial 011 (US international access code) + 33 (country code for France) + (0)8 92 35 35 39. Omit the initial zero in the number. It's in parentheses because it is only used for calls originating in France. If you get an automated message, press 2 and you should be connected with someone who speaks English.
