If it's your first time to experience Métro Abbesses, then by all means march right up the zillion steps to the very top. Along the way you will be delighted to have many colorful murals to amuse you while you draw your (last?) breath. On the other hand, if you've been there and done that, take the lift IF it's working.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I think I would need a colourful diversion to assist my ascent V.
I see Michou on the right with blue glasses!What he is doing here?!
I avoid Metro Chatelet like the plague, now I see I should add this one as well. (From your comment, it seems that the lift has a history of not working.)
Are they keeping time to my stepping or are they laughing at me? :) At least it's colorful...
Malyss, I thought Johnny Hollyday! :)
The lift seems to be a pretty sensible alternative altho I'd miss the joy of the visuals.
At least you have something to look at on the stairs other than blank wall. Pretty.
I trudged up those damn stairs and I never saw these. Not a one! Maybe they're new since my visit... I love it!
The last time I saw this, it was all scribbled over...
Ouf! Worth trudging up these stairs once, anyway—with a camera in hand. From then on, you can hope for a functioning elevator!
Yes of course it is our Belgian Johnny!
(not sure, really ;) )
I think it is a fabulous mural anyhow
It's been a while since I've walked up those steps but I knew it was Abbesses the moment I saw it.
Malyss is right it's definitely Michou. I'll take all wagers. ;-)
OK, I'll walk up the stairs. Maybe slowly, but I can do it!
I would certainly attempt the steps Virginia, Wonderful murals!

I remember that climb from the days when I could walk up. It is one of the most attractive mètro stations.
