I lived in Paris for six and a half years but had not been there for three. Here are a few things I found out during our weekend in Paris a couple of weeks ago.

1. Despite being almost entirely underground (except Bastille station and for the Seine-crossing at Pont de Neuilly), Line 1 of the Paris Métro is fully covered by mobile phone networks.
2. A new museum opened last year: designed by Jean Nouvel, the Musée du quai Branly showcases the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Americas.
3. All all French national trunk roads (Routes Nationales) are measured from Kilometre Zero (point zéro), located on the square facing the main entrance of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris and marked by a bronze star.
