Subway（地铁）is the most crowded place in a city. Most people go to work by subway. And the culture of subway is the window of a city. Paris is the capital of France and its subway is also very special. You can enjoy its subway culture when you are in the city. First you can see many people reading books in the subway. No matter they are in the subway or at the station, there is always a book in their hand. I don’t know in which city there are a lot of people reading novels together in the subway like Paris.

The subway stations in Paris are not big, but each of them has its special facts. There are a lot of pictures on the wall of the stations. Some stations look like ships. Some stations have clothes, caps and shoes. And every station has a big advertisement picture. But many of them are for selling clothes and cosmetics (化妆品).

You can meet some beggars（乞丐）in the subway. But the beggars in the Paris subway are also very special. They are all begging by their craftsmanship (手艺). They often play the violin or guitar in the train. There are also beggars waiting at the gate. If the beggars have no craftsmanship, they will say their difficulties such as wife and many children wait for food. After telling, they will go around the train. It is your freedom to give the money or not.

If you want to learn more about Paris, go to the subway and enjoy its culture by yourself.
