I am looking at going to a pub recommended to me it is called O%26#39;Sullivans, I went to their website to get directions by Metro and it only states
%26quot;corner of Boulevard Montmartre and rue Montmartre Take metro line 8 or 9 - get off at stop called : %26quot;Grands Boulevards%26quot; - you%26#39;re right on our doorstep%26quot;
it does not mention the direction I should be taking the metro lines can anyone help, I am attaching the url to their website:
osullivans-pubs.com/montmartre/default.php
Also if you can tell me what district they are in it would be great, I could not find this information
Thanks

I%26#39;m not sure what the problem is - you get off at the same station (%26quot;Grands Boulevards%26quot;) no matter which direction you are travelling.
To know which direction you need to travel, we need to know where you are starting from.
If you look at the website again you will see the address is 1 Boulevard Montmartre 75002. The 2 at the end of the postciode is the clue - it stand for the 23nd arrondissement

Wiz had a slip of the fingers. He meant 2nd of course.

Wouldn%26#39;t 75002 be in the 2nd?
To the OP - the direction of travel will depend on where you are coming from (which the cafe couldn%26#39;t know).

Yes, Wiz, I know that the station I get off is the same no matter the direction I just needed to know which direction to take I forgot to mention I am coming from the St Germain area. Sorry to upset you there Wiz, don’t get your panties in a twist. I just don%26#39;t understand why people cannot answer kindly to a question, if you get so upset to questions don%26#39;t answer them.
Thanks

To be fair to Wiz, your question (as written) made no sense. Without information about your origin station, complaining that the website doesn%26#39;t give a direction of travel wasn%26#39;t answerable (I%26#39;m not really sure how the restaurant could be expected to give direction of travel given that one could be coming from any part of Paris and the surrounding area).
Anyway, go to this site (it is the Paris Metro site):
http://www.ratp.fr/
If you click the British flag you%26#39;ll get the english version. Near the bottom of the page, they have an itinerary planner - stick in your starting address (click the bubble beside address) and Grand Boulevards (click the bubble beside station) and you%26#39;ll get the directios.

Also to be fair to Wiz, his answer was read by me as completely polite, and expressing what all of us saw: a question that made no sense as asked. I think you owe Wiz an apology, you are the only one here who lost their temper...
Grands Boulevards is on two different lines, #8 and #9.
St. Germain is a pretty big area, so we would still have to guess what stations would be best for you to choose to begin your trip.
If you got on at St. Germain des Pres on the #4 line in the direction of Porte de Clignancourt, you could change trains at Strasbourg-St. Denis, and take #8 to Grands Boulevards in the direction of Balard, or take #9 in the direction of Pont de Sevres.
|||
You can%26#39;t really be annoyed if you ask an incomplete question and someone responds asking you to clarify.
I didn%26#39;t read Wiz%26#39;s reply as rude, we have to know your starting point to offer a suggestion.
The poster above seems to have given you the directions you need - insofar as we still don%26#39;t know the actual station you will take from St Germain. There are several.
The ratp.fr site is a useful tool for working out how to get from A to b as suggested.

I made a mistake I forgot to write where I was coming from it was a mistake, nobody makes mistakes? Wiz lashed out:
“I%26#39;m not sure what the problem is - you get off at the same station (%26quot;Grands Boulevards%26quot;) no matter which direction you are travelling”
How about something more in the line of “ You need to tell us where you are coming from so that we can tell you which direction” instead of indicating that I had some sort of problem.
Again I made a Mistake, I’m sorry I knew I had to write it but I forgot by mistake, you know like the one that Wiz made:
“If you look at the website again you will see the address is 1 Boulevard Montmartre 75002. The 2 at the end of the postciode is the clue - it stand for the 23nd arrondissement”

Hi --
I don%26#39;t understand why folks can%26#39;t just look at the map in the Metro to see which way they should be traveling. It%26#39;s certainly much easier than printing a bajillion sets of directions to carry along on all one%26#39;s travels.
But, then, I don%26#39;t understand why folks can%26#39;t do a search on the forum to see if anyone ever in the history of the forum has had to get into town from CDG, and asked for directions.
And while I%26#39;m at it, I don%26#39;t understand folks who expect the forum to do all their planning for them rather than buying a couple of guide books and doing some of it themselves.
I won%26#39;t even go to the folks who don%26#39;t understand the difference between advise (a verb) and advice (a noun).

%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;I won%26#39;t even go to the folks who don%26#39;t understand the difference between advise (a verb) and advice (a noun).%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
They can%26#39;t help it. Spellcheck on Word advises them that %26quot;advice%26quot; should be used in lieu of %26quot;advise.%26quot; I%26#39;m not kidding. This has happened many a time; I am fortunate to know the difference.
Seriously folks, yes it is irksome sometimes to get repetitive questions, but if it bothers you so much, don%26#39;t answer!!! It wasn%26#39;t so long ago that I was a newbie to TA and unfamiliar with how everything worked.
