Reach French audiences with metro media in the places that matter.

Metro advertising in France places brands directly within the daily journeys of commuters, students, shoppers and tourists. Platforms, station concourses and carriages give audiences time to engage with campaigns as they wait and travel, creating repeated visibility throughout the transport journey.

The scale is significant. The Paris Métro recorded 1.48 billion journeys in 2024, averaging around 4 million trips a day across 16 lines and nearly 400 stations. Line 14 alone carries around 820,000 passengers daily, while established metro systems in Lyon, Marseille and Lille extend the opportunity beyond the capital. This gives brands access to high-volume urban audiences across several of France's most important cities.
