The Paris metro is no exception! The ‘Les Gens Dans Le Métro’ (‘People in the Metro’) Instagram account documents the strangest sights that Parisians have seen on the subway. We’ve collected some of the funniest and oddest photos to share with you. Scroll down to check them out. Bored Panda got in touch with the founder of the project, Gaëtan Lagarde, and he was kind enough to answer our questions. You’ll find our interview with him as you read on. More info: Instagram | TikTok | Book “I had recently moved in in Paris to work,” he told Bored Panda. “And I discovered the pleasure of taking the metro every day,” he said. He thought that the sight was amusing, so he took a photo, and this gave him the idea to create the account.  Bored Panda was curious to get Lagarde’s opinion as to why so many strange things happen on the metro. According to him, “People forget they are on public transportation.” “Taking the metro has become mere routine and some ‘useful time’ to do something,” he said that commuters use this time to do whatever they need to do to save some time, without caring who is around them. “Also, people are crazy,” Lagarde joked. “My advice for first-time visitors is that if you take the metro, keep your phone close to you to catch a funny moment to DM me,” he urged everyone to participate in the community that has formed around the Instagram account. However, on a more serious note, Lagarde warned visitors to “please, beware of pickpockets.” Over the years, the page has been covered by a variety of French news outlets. Meanwhile, the team running the project has also published an activity book to keep you busy while on the Parisian subway system. He told ‘Le Parisien’ that the vast majority of the photos shared on the account are real. Some images, however, are of people doing artistic performances.  According to Lagarde, Parisians have a unique relationship with the metro system. They use their commute to put on makeup, do some work, exercise, and anything else you can think of. He also pointed out that when commuters forget that there are other people around them, they stop caring about their opinions. For Lagarde, the success of the entire project comes down to contrast. On the one hand, you’ve got the dreary atmosphere of the capital’s metro system. On the other hand, this is juxtaposed by the peculiar and mind-boggling events taking place. “We see in the photos that people are making faces. And even when something crazy happens, they remain indifferent,” he told ‘Actu Paris’ that the goal of his account isn’t just to be funny. It’s also to encourage people to react. These days, it is the second busiest metro system in Europe. According to McGuire, there are many “unique, talented, and crazy people who use the subway system on a daily basis.” “People can be easily intimidated by the NYC subway system, but, in general, it isn’t that hard to navigate. Some sage advice would be to stay away from the edge of the platforms, and if you see an empty train car, just remember—there’s probably a reason it’s empty in NYC.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
