I have heard they have a very fast moving walkway at one of the railway stations (forgot which, not the one I used anyway). On the order of 40 km/h someone guessed, with some care taken to gradually accelerate its passengers. Cool! Had I only known that when I was there. Does anyone know what I am talking about? How exaggerated is it?

Oh wait. Wikipedia:

The speed of a moving walkway is usually 3 km/h, but there is a high-speed version at Gare Montparnasse station in Paris. At first it operated at 12 km/h but too many people were falling over, so the speed was reduced to 9 km/h.
