High Tech Subway

Paris Metro is finally caught up, well, little by little.  The famous Parisian Line 1 metro station Franklin-Roosevelt taking tourists directly to the world famous avenue the Champs-Elysées, got a face-lift this year and is recently reopened to the public once again with a brand new colour AND not only that, it is now equipped with 3 touch-screen monitors with useful informations to guide tourists in several languages.  As  you can see as well from the photo, the station's name is now also translated in Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Arabic.  The digital era is finally here with the over 100-year-old subway.  So no more fear coming for a visit coz now Paris speaks YOUR language!

This is what the station looked like for the last century
