Metro 1 is the oldest Paris Metro Line, with its inaugural run held in July 1900. It currently receives the most daily passengers among Paris Metro’s 16 Lines, thanks largely to tourists who use it to access sites such as the Louvre Museum and Grand Palace. Pickpockets are a nuisance here and announcements to beware of them are constant. Train frequency on this line is high.
