The Saint-Lazare train station, a must-see for users of the L and J lines, has finally been equipped with validation gates. With one main objective: to fight against the fraud, which represents 63 M € of loss in gain in Ile-de-France region each year. 140 new generation porticos were therefore installed, cordoning off the station on all these accesses: under the arcades, on the transversal platform, the undergrounds and the street access to Rome. It was the last of the big Parisian stations not to be equipped with it. The installation of anti-fraud gates continues in Ile-de-France. Thirty-three other Île-de-France stations will benefit from this new equipment by 2021, ie 1,800 turnstiles replaced in total. Saint Lazare here: Transilien on Saint Lazare

And to show all in Paris is not glitter here is one example of changing plans on the restaurant scene
In the tranquility of the neighborhood of Auteuil,district 16 of Paris, it is impossible to miss this double electric blue door from which music escapes. This is the entrance to Daroco, the new temple of Italian cuisine that opened on September 1st. In a decor that manages to be both chic and warm. The story goes that In the summer of 2018, at the same location, the same entrepreneurs inaugurated Zebra with a new investor. A completely different concept of restaurant, since it was a traditional French brasserie , turn the aging brasserie into a chic and trendy place, all in marble and velvet. So what has happened to make Zebra a failure, so much so that one year after the opening, everything has to change? As the products of Zebra are provided by the cream of the producers (the meat comes from Terroirs d’Avenir, the coffee of Coutume, the salmon carries the Red label …), the prices are felt there. The average ticket is around 50 euros. In the summer of 2019, the team that originally had about fifty employees was reduced to about twenty. And the accounts are still in the red. After a market study, the three entrepreneurs note that the 16éme arrondissement is desperately short of good pizzerias. They decide to replay their trattoria on rue Vivienne to put a paint job, green plants and a pizza oven.
