The tram route from Balard to Pont du Garigliano can be useful when your trip stays around the outer edge of Paris. Trams are generally easier to board than the historic Metro and can be a good option for strollers, wheelchairs and luggage, but they are rarely the best choice for a central monument-to-monument trip.

When the tram makes sense

  • Your start and destination are both near the tram line.
  • You want step-free or easier boarding.
  • You are traveling around the edge of Paris rather than through the center.
  • A direct tram avoids several Metro changes.
