I saw conventional rails in the middle of the tire tracks on lines 1 and 14, is that so steel wheel trains can operate on them or are they not tracks?

Tunnel in the line 14 are tubular, how say that Paris has the densest subway system in the world and you cannot built a new subway line in the center with cut an cover system. The line 14 is deeper than the other line.

How we can built a line without using tunneling in such dense district ?

dl3000, Right rubber tired train on Paris metro has conventional tracks , so steel train can use rubber tired line.

The line 1, 4, 6 and 11 was converted on rubber tired line without interuption of the passenger service. During several months rubber tired train and steel tired train used the same line.
Rubber tired trains on Paris metro have steel

Does there exist a kind of 3D map of the Parisien tunnels ?
Must be interesting to see how the network is built in layers underground.
At the info centre of LD there is a kind of 3D presentation of the entire LD station, which is already extremely impressive.

I see 3D maps of tunnel in the Book "De Bienvenue a Meteor. Un siecle de Metro en 14 lines"
A good book about Metro with many information, this book is from 2004 and the data are a bit outdated but it is good.
The only problem it is that these 3D maps not include RER tunnel and this is not a complete map but only some part.

Don't hesitate to hear it fully, the more it goes, the better it is.

I have also a 3D map of the Châtelet-les-Halles fully underground hub at the end of the 80's (My book is quite old). It's very interesting though there's not the line 14 and the Southern part of the RER D.
