Place de Clichy

Lost, frankly, I can't find myself on Google Maps right now!

Schön gelegener Ort, war von unserem Hotel die nächste Haltestelle. die Metrostation war erstaunlicherweise sehr sauber und schön.

Pretty active metro station in what seems to be a semi-rough area—get ready to walk fast! Nothing fancy about it even though there are nice buildings around plus restaurants and souvenir shops everywhere.

RAT MAZE - no signs whatsoever for the most major train destination. We missed our train because we were trapped in the maze of this station after having no problems with other metro stations. Put up more signs for the different trains specifically m13 - chatillion montrouge!!!!

The Place de Clichy, also known as "Place Clichy", is situated in the northwestern quadrant of Paris. It is formed by the intersection of the Boulevard de Clichy, the Avenue Clichy, the Rue Clichy, the Boulevard des Batignolles, and the Rue d'Amsterdam.

It lies at the former site of the barrière de Clichy, an ancient portal in the Wall of the Farmers-General, leading to the village of Clichy, outside the wall.
The Place de Clichy is one of the few places in Paris where four arrondissements (the 8th, 9th, 17th, and 18th) meet at a single point. (The others are the Pont Saint-Michel, where the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th meet, and the Belleville roundabout, where the 10th, 11th, 19th and 20th come together.)

The Place de Clichy is also unusual in that it has been untouched by urban planners. This explains the heterogeneous façades of the buildings in the area. The Place de Clichy has the character of a substantial crossroads, rather than that of a real place (public square).

Surrounding the Place de Clichy is a lively array of shops, restaurants, and businesses, including a popular cinema. It is a hive of activity, both day and night.
In March 1814, at the close of the First French Empire, 800,000 soldiers of various foreign armies marched on Paris. After breaking through the barriers at Belleville and Pantin, they took the hill of Montmartre. Paris was protected in the north from Clichy to Neuilly, by 70,000 men of the garde nationale. In the face of the advancing enemy, the Maréchal de Moncey defended the barrière de Clichy. Moncey amassed 15,000 volunteers, tirailleurs — students from the École polytechnique and the École vétérinaire — and, despite their inexperience, valiantly resisted the Russian contingent until an armistice was declared on 30 March 1814.

Very nice place evry thing is hier :)

As English-speaking passengers you don't get any help. As a party of four, with two below the age of 26, we had previously used "jeune" tickets but then suddenly they didn't work. Then we found out they didn't work on Mondays for some reason. However, we were still able to buy them! Not user-friendly.

Two of us had already gone through the gate but went back to help only to discover that you can't reenter even though we hadn't even used the metro! They don't write this anywhere clearly.

We went to the service clerk to get help but we just got a lot of sour, better-knowing French back in our faces. Even though we obviously didn't speak French, the clerk did nothing to help us. No locals or travelers did either.

On a related note, we had previously been able to exit and reenter using the same kind of adult full-fare ticket. But this time it didn't work suddenly. At another subway station, the clerk didn't want help us either.

All of this shouldn't be news to them since there are always non-French speaking tourists in Paris.

We all ended up having to buy five tickets each just to travel the metro for less than 1.5 hours.

Worst subway experience ever..
