We were ambushed by a pack of thugs / ticket inspectors moments after purchasing our tickets and crossing the gate at Gare De Lyon train station. They have no willingness to assist tourists in any way and instead try to accost you into paying a “penalty”. After engaging in a heated argument we left and refused to pay a cent. Be wary of using the metro as a tourist because they are the most unfriendly gang of thieves made even worse because they are “official”.
