The system of RATP city buses in Paris, France is highly useful, especially for visitors: unlike on the Métro, which is underground, you can see the sights as you ride a city bus. You can take Paris city buses using the same Métro tickets you bought in a carnet of 10 tickets to get the substantial discount. Here's more on buying tickets. Bus stops are well marked and equipped with detailed maps and bus schedules. Some bus stops have electronic LCD displays telling you the number of minutes you'll wait until the next bus comes. The Montmartrobus is a special bus route operated by small electric buses that goes from Place Pigalle over the top of Montmartre, past the basilique du Sacré-Coeur and artist-filled Place du Tertre and down the other side of the hill to Place Jules Joffrin. More... Bus routes can be a bit complicated, so it pays to study a bus route pocket map (available at most Métro ticket offices for free) before you travel. You may find a few bus routes that are quite convenient to your hotel and the places you want to visit.
