The walk to the no.7 line in the Montparnasse metro station is a long tunnel with a moving walkway. It normally travels 2.5 km/h. Today, I took the new superfast moving walkway. It's 9 km/h. It flies through the tunnel. So much so that one feels compelled to giggle like a child on a snowsled. I did worry about how one gets off the speedy walkway. Would I go flying? No, because at the other end, little steel rollers gently ease one off the 9 km and back to walking speed.
It's one reason why I love Paris.
