I spent a month in Paris in October, 2021, and one of the biggest things I noticed with the transit systems in Paris was the diversity of rail options.
London has the Tube... Chicago has the L and Metra for regional rail transit.
But in Paris, I noticed:
1 - The Metro for subway transit within the city limits
2 - RER (akin to Chicago's Metra) for metro transit.
3 - Tram for..... above ground region transit?
I stayed in the Puteaux area just south of La Defense, and it took me a while to get used to the different train offerings and now to navigate them. Definitely one of the most impressive metro-wide rail offerings I've ever seen.
