Paris Métro Line 12 is one of 16 metro lines in Paris, France. The line links Issy-les-Moulineaux in southern Paris to the Porte de la Chapelle in the north. This is one of two lines (the other being line 13) which were originated by the "Nord-Sud" company, a competitor to the CMP (which became the RATP). It is the eleventh busiest line on the network.
