How do you say the Paris underground in french?

The underground is called "le métro" (short for "métropolitain", which isn't used any more) in French. However, outside of Paris, you should clarify by saying "le métro de Paris", especially if you are in a city with a different subterranean train system (subway/metro/underground).
