00:00These hallways of Paris' Line 14 metro won't be empty for long.
00:05The new extension of the line was inaugurated today by Emmanuel Macron.
00:09With 14 extra kilometres, it will connect the centre of Paris with Orly Airport
00:13in a 25-minute trip, saving a lot of time for future travellers.
00:18Less people, a smoother trip and saving time.

00:24Being able to get to the airport in 25 minutes, I think it's great.
00:28Holders of French transport cards, Navigos, won't pay extra
00:31and individual trips will cost €11.50.
00:34The line will open in time to welcome millions of tourists coming for the Olympics
