Navigo Easy – The New Way to Buy Paris Metro Tickets

How to Buy Paris Metro Tickets

There's a new, modern way riding the Paris Metro. The traditional rectangular cardboard Metro tickets have been replaced with a rechargeable plastic card called Navigo Easy — aimed specifically at visitors and occasional users. There is a one-time cost (about €2) to purchase a permanent card that can be loaded with Metro "tickets" at machines or ticket counters at every station across the Paris region. You can also reload the card from your phone using the Bonjour RATP app .

Recharge your Navigo Easy with either individual tickets or carnets (a pack of ten tickets, which costs less per ticket). A carnet is around 15€, versus around 2€ for a single ticket. The traditional paper tickets have been completely phased out.

Each ticket is good for one ride on the Metro, no matter how many changes you have to make. So, you can get from Parc de la Villette (in the far northeast of central Paris) to the sports complex at Porte de St Cloud (in the far southwest) on one ticket! (That entire journey, by the way, takes 45 minutes and only involves one Metro change.)

How Paris Metro Tickets Work

How it Used To Be – Using Paper Tickets

As you entered the Metro station, you would dig around in your pocket or bag to find a valid Paris Metro ticket. Then, you'd put the ticket into the slot on the front of the turnstile machine and push through. But, you also had to make sure to grab your ticket out of the machine as you left because you may have needed to show it to Metro security to prove you paid.

That Was Then, This is Navigo Easy

Take your card out of your pocket. Walk up to an entry gate. Tap your card on the sensor (like above). Walk through. That's it… you're in! You can lend card to someone else if you like, no ID is required.

Paris metro etiquette & safety.

Metro Denfert Rocerau

Just as in Paris restaurants , there is a certain etiquette observed on the Paris Metro.

  • Speak softly.
  • Don't eat or drink on the Metro.
  • Keep your personal belongings on your body.
  • Move aside for people who are leaving the train.
  • When on the platform waiting for a train, leave some space around the doors for departing passengers.
  • As a car fills up, move back to provide space for new passengers.
  • When you have to get around other passengers to leave the train, simply say " pardon " (PAHR-doh) and they will let you by.

Passe Navigo

Passe Navigo

The Passe Navigo is the travel card used by the inhabitants of Paris and the cheapest way of getting around Paris. Travelers can either purchase a weekly pass or a monthly pass.

Passe Navigo, Nueva Carte Orange

The Passe Navigo can be used on  the metro , bus , RER , tram , Montmartrobus, Noctilien and Montmartre funicular .

Until January 2009 there was the Carte Orange , a card with the same function that has been replaced by the new pass. The differences are that the Passe Navigo is electronic, costs € 5 ( US$ 5.40) and is valid for 10 years.

As with the Paris Visite , when purchasing the Passe Navigo it's necessary to choose the zones of validity .

If you're only going to use the transport to move around the center of Paris, the pass for zones 1-2 is enough. To get to Charles de Gaulle Airport , Orly or Disneyland , it would be necessary to have zones 1-5.

Disadvantages

There are three drawbacks that make it more practical in many cases to purchase the Paris Visite :

  • The Passe Navigo must be used for full weeks , i.e., Monday through Sunday.
  • You’ll need a passport photo to obtain the pass.
  • The Passe Navigo costs € 5 ( US$ 5.40)  and is non-refundable.

Where to purchase the Passe Navigo?

The Passe Navigo Découverte can be purchased at any Metro station, RER stations and airports.

*The Passe Navigo does not offer special prices for children.

Navigo Decouverte card from 2014-2018

You can buy Navigo week pass for the current week up until Thursday, midnight. Next week’s Navigo card week pass is on sale from Friday morning onwards. (In the past, the Navigo weekly train pass for the current week stopped selling at Wednesday midnight, but this has been moved to Thursday midnight.)

Note that you cannot choose the start & end date of your weekly Navigo pass ; it is strictly Monday morning (00:00) to Sunday midnight (23:59:59), regardless of what day of the week you buy the pass.

Navigo passes are also available as a Day pass ( Navigo Jour as of January 1, 2018) and a Monthly pass ( Navigo Mois ).

Where to Buy Navigo

You can buy a Navigo Decouverte pass at nearly any Metro, RER, Billets Paris et Ile-de-France train ticket window that normally sells tickets and passes. I say “nearly” because a ticket window may run out of blank Navigo passes to sell you. But Billets / Tickets Paris et Ile-de-France ticket windows (like those below at CDG Airport or Gare du Nord) are much less likely to run out of Navigo cards than the average Metro/RER ticket window. In any case if you ask for a Navigo card and the ticket window has run out, you’ll need to find the next nearest ticket window and try again.

Buying Navigo Cards Online

As of 2023, it is now possible to buy Navigo passes online using one of three official Paris transportation mobile phone apps. (Android only as of Oct 2023 though.) Unfortunately there’s no way to buy Navigo Decouverte cards online as of 2020. So you cannot buy visitor / tourist Navigo cards online before arrival into Paris; It must be bought in-person, in Paris. Navigo Decouverte cards can only be purchased in Paris at ticket windows of Paris Metro, RER, Transilien train stations and Navigo agencies. Online purchases of personalized Navigo cards (with embedded name & photo) is only for French residents with French bank accounts and addresses, which takes up to 18 days for delivery after order.

At CDG Airport

There are two train stations at CDG Airport. Both CDG train stations sell Navigo passes & train tickets. In CDG Terminal 2, the train station is between sub-terminals 2C and 2E. (See the step-by-step guide for CDG Terminal 2 trains to Paris .) If you arrive at CDG Terminal 1 or CDG Terminal 3 the closest CDG train station is in the Roissypole building. The Roissypole building is midway between CDG Terminal 1 and CDG Terminal 2, and is a 5 minute walk from Terminal 3, as seen on this CDG shuttle train map (CDGVAL):

CDGVal CDG Terminal Shuttle Train Map

CDG Terminal Shuttle Train Map – CDGVAL – Courtesy adp.fr

The CDGVAL Terminal Shuttle is free and has frequent service between CDG Terminals, parking lots and train stations.

CDG T2 Train Station Ticket Office

CDG Terminal 2 Train Station Ticket Office

You’ll notice the sign above the door reads: Billets Paris et Ile de France . This means “Tickets Paris and [Region]”. This ticket office sells Metro & RER tickets, Navigo Decouverte, Navigo Easy , Paris Visite and every other ticket or pass available for Paris Metro, RER, Bus, and Transilien trains servicing the Paris region (Paris Ile-de-France). Another type of ticket office at CDG Terminal 2 train station is for Grandes Lignes trains going to cities outside the Paris area . You can buy Navigo Decouverte pass cards inside the Billets Paris et Ile-de-France ticket office. You cannot buy Navigo inside Grandes Lignes ticket offices.

Please see our full guide of CDG Terminal 2 train to Paris for more details on finding CDG T2 train station, buying train tickets & taking the RER B train to Paris.

CDG T1/T3 Train Station Ticket Window

The train station serving CDG Terminal 1 and CDG Terminal 3 is located in the Roissypole building. Here’s a photo of the Roissypole train station ticket window for CDG Terminal 1 / Terminal 3:

CDG T1 / T3 Train Station Ticket Window in Roissypole Building

Please see our full guide of CDG Terminal 1 / Terminal 3 train to Paris for more details on finding CDG T1 / T3 train station, buying train tickets & taking the RER B train to Paris.

Both CDG train station ticket offices sell Paris Navigo Decouverte pass. Both CDG train station ticket offices will always have at least one English speaking staff member. The CDG Terminal 2 train station ticket office is larger (as it serves a larger terminal), has more ticket agents and will often have several English speakers, plus other common European languages such as German and Spanish.

At Paris Train Stations

The major train stations in Paris all have Transilien suburban train ticket windows which are good places to buy a Navigo Decouverte pass.

The major Paris train stations include:

  • Gare du Nord
  • Gare du Lyon
  • Gare Montparnasse
  • Gare de l’Est
  • Gare d’Austerlitz
  • Gare Saint Lazare
  • Gare de Bercy

The confusing part about buying Navigo passes at major Paris train stations is the separation of ticket offices between Paris regional trains and intercity / international trains ( Grandes Lignes ) for destinations across France and Europe. Grandes Lignes ticket offices do not sell Paris Navigo passes or any other sort of Paris Metro / RER / Transit tickets . These “main line” ticket offices only sell tickets for large trains bound for destinations outside Paris and internationally (such as TGV, Intercites, Thalys, ICE, etc.). So be sure you’re lining up for tickets at a ticket office that sells Paris region tickets ( Billets Paris et Ile-de-France ) and not for Grandes Lignes / Intercity – International trains.

Below is a photo of a combined Paris Metro, RER, Transilien Regional ticket window. These ticket windows are found at major Paris train stations like Gare du Nord. These ticket windows are where you can buy Navigo passes, Navigo Easy, Paris Visite, single-use RER tickets, bus tickets, Metro tickets and every other type of Paris regional transit ticket:

How much does Navigo Decouverte cost?

Navigo Decouverte price is 30.75€ plus 5€ for the card fee payable in Euro cash notes or coins, Visa / Mastercard credit card or European debit card.

What you need to Buy Navigo Decouverte

You must personalize your Navigo with a roughly passport size photo to be used on the pass (exact Navigo Decouverte photo size is 3cm tall by 2.5cm wide), plus a pen to write your name. There are automated self-service photo booths nearby ticket windows at all major train stations in Paris, costing 5€ for a set of four pictures, so be sure to get your photo taken before going to the ticket window where they’ll likely have scissors handy for trimming your freshly minted photo on the pass. If you’re hesitant in how to ask to buy the pass at a ticket window, try printing out this page and showing the ticket seller the image of the Decouverte card on the top right while holding up your small headshot photo. I’m pretty sure the ticket seller will get the idea.

Transit Services Included in Navigo

You can use Navigo Decouverte on any Paris area subway/train/bus/tram type (with one exception) such as Paris Metro (subway, 16 lines), RER (suburban train, 5 lines), Transilien suburban trains (8 lines), trams (10 lines) and city buses (RATP/Noctilien/Optile). The one train not included in Navigo is the Orlyval train connected the RER B train to Orly 1 airport terminal. See Destinations Covered, next section below, for more information.

Destinations Covered

The Navigo Découverte pass card by default includes all 5 transit zones which covers Paris and surrounding suburbs. This includes Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport (zone 5) and Orly (ORY) airport (zone 4), Chateau Versailles (zone 4), Fontainebleau (zone 5), Disneyland Paris (zone 5) and the majority of the Ile-de-France Paris Metropolitan area. The services included are any Metro, RER (suburban express) train, buses (RATP/Noctilien/Optile), Transilien suburban trains, and trams up to the zone limits of your pass.

The Orlyval train is a notable exception and is not included in Navigo coverage. Orlyval is a train that connects the RER B train station “Antony” (closest RER B station) to Orly Airport. Orlyval is owned & operated by a separate private company which does not accept Navigo passes for travel and requires a separate ticket specifically for the short distance Orlyval train (although Paris Visite tickets are accepted).

Valid Period / Navigo Pass Duration

The downside of the pass is its strict timing. Navigo pass validity starts on Monday morning (00:00) and ends the following Sunday at midnight (11:59:59 PM / 23:59:59) regardless of which day you buy the pass. After Thursday midnight, you cannot buy & use the pass for the current week. If you buy Navigo after Thursday midnight / Friday morning onwards, the Navigo week pass cannot be used until Monday morning when its validity period starts

If you plan on arriving Friday through Sunday, consider buying a carnet of single-use Paris transit tickets (book of ten or twenty) that are good for the entire Paris Metro system and any trains/trams/buses in zone 1 , or day passes called Navigo Jour / Navigo Day Pass (note: Ticket Mobilis has now been discontinued as of Jan. 4, 2024).  Another option is to buy a Paris Visite card , which is just a more expensive multi-day ticket that can be used for a set period of days, starting from whenever you first place the ticket into a turnstile machine. The Paris Visite cards are good for 1, 2, 3 or 5 days and for either zones 1 to 3 or all five zones.

Should I Buy a Navigo Week Pass?

If you arrive Monday to Thursday, by either CDG or Orly airport, and will be taking Paris area transit for more than one day, buy the Navigo Week Pass . It’s the cheapest and best option. For example a round-trip to Paris from CDG airport costs 23.60€ using single-use tickets. The price of a Navigo Week pass is 30.75€. And keep in mind the better user-experience of an all-inclusive pass:

  • easy to use: tap/hold pass on reader to unlock turnstiles/gates
  • mistakes included: take a wrong train? No stress / No worry – Navigo is unlimited rides until expiry
  • no need to organize/separate used tickets from unused tickets
  • no misplaced tickets during travel, trapping you inside system with blocked exit gates
  • no stress when checked by a ticket controller, finding your Navigo pass card is much easier than the small paper coupon ticket that’s hidden itself deep in the recesses of your wallet/purse/pocket

I arrive Friday/Saturday. Should I Buy a Navigo?

If you arrive in Paris from Friday to Sunday, deciding to buy a Navigo week pass is more complicated.

Will you be leaving Sunday, Monday or Tuesday? Navigo Week pass is likely not the best choice. Paris Visite Ticket is an option to consider if you’re planning on making trips out to Disneyland Paris (15.20€ return using single tickets) or Versailles (7.30€ return) and especially if you’re arriving via Orly (as Paris Visite will cover the Orlyval train , otherwise 12.10€ one-way).

If you’re planning to stay mostly in Paris city center (zone 1) then you’re likely better off using single-use RER tickets to get into the city from airports and then using single-use Metro tickets (either as physical paper tickets or on a Navigo Easy card preloaded with electronic tickets) or 1-2 zone Navigo Day Pass (officially known as Navigo Jour, unlimited ride day pass, put onto a Navigo Easy card or a Navigo Decouverte card) while exploring the heart of the city.

Using Navigo Pass

Navigo at metro & rer gates.

Using your Navigo pass at Metro stations and RER stations to open fare-gate barriers works by holding the card against the purple reader zone on the tops of the turnstiles or barriers. The Navigo pass card may take a second or two to be recognized by the transponders, so keep the Navigo card against the reader area until a “ding” sound is emitted for an accepted pass. Keep in mind that Navigo passes near the end of its validity period will cause the barrier to emit a buzzing noise instead of a ding, along with a message noting the date of expiry. The gate is open though. Pass through the turnstile or gate as per normal.

paris-metro-turnstile-pass-card-reader

Navigo on Buses & Trams

Navigo Reader on Paris Buses & Trams

Navigo Reader on Paris Buses & Trams

Using Navigo on Paris Buses & Trams requires holding the pass close to the Navigo reader pictured above until a ding is heard indicating a successful read. An expired Navigo pass will cause the bus/tram Navigo reader to emit a quick double buzz noise. A Navigo pass close to expiration will also emit a double buzzing noise, but is still valid for travel.

Navigo on Transilien Trains

Navigo Transilien Reader

Navigo Transilien Reader

Transilien train stations will commonly have no barriers to accessing the train platforms and require you to voluntarily validate your Navigo pass at readers such as the one pictured above, prior to boarding your train. Failure to validate your Navigo pass before a Transilien train ride can net you a 25€ fine by ticket controllers, so be sure to validate before you board.

Navigo Month Pass

For those few, lucky travelers who are staying 3 or more weeks and arrive near the beginning of the month, a monthly Navigo pass may be less hassle than a week pass. Navigo Month pass is valid from the first day of the month through till last day of the month:

  • 86.40€ for central Paris and all Zones 1-5
  • includes travel in central Paris and out to…
  • CDG Airport
  • Disneyland Paris
  • Chateau de Versailles
  • and Orly (via RER C & Orlybus only. Navigo is not valid for Orlyval train from Antony station on RER B train line).

Monthly Navigo Cards for the next month are on sale from the 20th day of the preceding month. This means you can buy Navigo Month pass only up until the 19th day of the current month. For example, if it’s January 20, you can purchase and apply February Navigo Monthly pass validity to your Navigo card and it will be good up through to February 28/29 (depending on leap year).

Who can buy a Passe Navigo Découverte?

Some travelers to Paris in the past have been pressured by RATP staff into buying a Carte Paris Visite by refusing to sell them a Passe Navigo Découverte.  Please don’t let this happen to you. (Keep in mind: I haven’t heard this happening in quite some time.)  You have the right to purchase a Passe Navigo Découverte as outlined in the official website page entitled Les Forfaits Navigo (Navigo Passes), published by STIF (updated January 2014), the parent organization of RATP (Paris Transit Authority). The section of interest is under the section Le Choix entre la Carte Navigo ou la Carte Navigo découverte , then click on the tab for La carte Navigo Découverte. The line that reads Elle est ouverte à tous (Franciliens et non Franciliens) says that “the card is open to all, residents of Ile-de-France or not”.

The old documentation below is kept for posterity.

Page 9 of this document explains that the Passe Navigo Découverte is open to all travelers.  Here is the excerpt:

navigo easy travel card where to buy

  • The pass Navigo Découverte is open to all travelers, residents of Ile-de-France or not, and are allowed to load onto it a Carte Orange subscription.
  • It’s purchaseable directly from ticket windows from a [Metro/RER] station or a train station or an authorized resellers at a price of 5€.  It is then issued immediately without formality.

If you are concerned about hassles with purchasing a Passe Navigo Découverte when in Paris and don’t wish to be forced into buying a more expensive Carte Paris Visite , print out this page of  Guide Navigo  (with the Navigo Découverte tab visible) and bring it with you to Paris.  If a ticket seller tells you the Passe Navigo is only for residents, show the guide to the ticket seller.  Below is a screen shot of the important text.

I understand the whole concept of the new Navigo Easy card and understand that you can reload them at the ticket machines in the metro and potentially over your phone. But, where do you buy the initial card? When we visit, we'll probably be using the metro at Tuileries first. Is there a spot there to get it or someplace else? I know I'm probably overthinking it, but I like to ensure I know what I'm doing before I go.

Thanks in advance!

The Navigo Easy is a blank card holding absolutely nothing until a fare is loaded. Think of it as maybe an electronic wallet. If you want to use the Easy, you pay 2€ for the reusable card and then decide which of the already available fares you want to load. The options are currently the ticket t+ or various day passes.

The Easy only replaces paper tickets. It is NOT a new type of fare.

Hi, from this website: https://www.ratp.fr/en/titres-et-tarifs/t-ticket-navigo-easy-pass-and-telephone, the Navigo Card would cost €2

Where can I buy that card at the airport?

' class=

Yes, you can buy it "empty" at CDG.

' class=

I don’t know about the airport but I bought ours at a Tabac. It was 2 euro for the card and I think 14.90 for the carnet of 10 tickets. After you get the card go to the RATP website to register it and then you can reload it without having to go to a metro ticket booth. So easy, I loved having the card instead of the little paper tickets.

There are two locations to purchase the Navigo Easy, one at the lower center of terminal 2, the SNCF service window, and at Roissypôle.

There are a number of options for loading the Easy, the ticket t+ is but one.

navigo easy travel card where to buy

What’s the difference between Navigo Decouverte and Easy besides €5 vs €2? Are both good for all forms of transport in the 5 zones w unlimited usage?

We usually load ND upon arrival (arriving on Sunday, I should wait till Mon to load for two weeks , right?), but this year, our 12 yr old will be with us September 4-10. I’m not sure what to get for her.

Navigo Decouverte and NAvigo easy card are support, not fares.

Navigo Decouverte is a personnal card. Navigo easy is not personnal (no photo, no name).

Some fares can be loaded on both. Some only on Navigo Decouverte. Some only on navigo Easy.

The Navigo Découverte and the Navigo Easy have very little in common. If you want to purchase a weekly or monthly pass, use the ND. The ND is for non-transferrable fares or passes.

For single rides on the métro, tramway, bus, or funicular, load tickets t+ on the Navigo Easy.

If a 12 year old were traveling with me, I would purchase for her, the same card/ticket/pass as I was using.

Judy, you don't have to wait until Monday to load weekly pass zones 1-5 onto your ND. Weekly pass loaded starting on Fr. becomes valid on Mon.

You can't load 2 weeks at once- load 1st on arrival, then anytime starting next Fr. you can load the second week.

How To Use The Metro In Paris

A fter countless trips to Paris as the founder of En Route to Rêverie , I can confidently say my preferred method of transportation in the city is my own two feet (I guess that’s the New Yorker in me!) However, for times when I need to travel further distances or the weather is uncooperative, I always turn to the Paris Metro. 

How to Use the Metro in Paris

This underground train network provides an affordable and efficient way for locals and visitors to get to any part of the city. For a lot of first time visitors the Paris metro system can be a daunting experience. So today I’m sharing a guide to help you navigate the Paris Metro with ease. Be sure to save this video on Instagram as well to bookmark for your next trip.

Related: Paris First Time Visitors Guide

I find the idea of using public transportation abroad can be overwhelming for a lot of people, especially when it’s in a different language! This post will give you all the basic information you need on what the Paris Metro is, how it works, which Paris Metro pass to purchase, and where to buy metro tickets.

I’ll also share some of my tried and true tips so you can confidently navigate one of Europe’s best subway systems. My En Route to Rêverie clients also get additional insights, advice, and guidance on navigating the Paris metro system as well as my most trusted alternative transportation options.

What Is The Metro in Paris

One of the oldest subway systems in the world, the first Paris Métropolitain (or simply Métro) line was opened in 1900, just in time for the World’s Fair. Today, there are 16 interconnected lines (each with a number) and the subway system transports over 4 million passengers per day! This extensive public transportation system is built under the city of Paris and extends out to nearby suburban areas of the city.

The Paris Metro is a densely packed system (there are over 300 Paris metro stations), meaning stations are not too far apart which is great for getting as close as possible to your destination. I personally find the Paris Metro to be one of the most efficient, reliable and affordable subway systems.

It’s important to note that the RATP (the name for Paris’ public transportation system) includes the metro (underground subway), buses, RER Paris regional trains (sort of a metro-rail hybrid), and trains. 

Paris Metro Zones

Paris operates on a “zone” system for public transportation. The city and surrounding areas are divided into 5 transportation fare zones (this is different from the 20 neighborhoods or arrondissements!) It’s important to note that the metro zones really only come into play for travel passes. Or if you want to take something other than the Paris Metro – like RER trains or buses. The Paris Metro subway operates exclusively in zones 1-3, with the overwhelming majority of stations in zone 1. 

Zones 1-3 include the majority of major tourist attractions in Paris. Most visitors will never even leave zone 1. Here you’ll find most hotels as well as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Arc de Trimophe.

Zone 4 is where you will find Chateau Versailles and Orly Airport. The Paris Metro underground does not reach these destinations. To get to Versailles, you will have to take the RER train to Versailles-Rive Gauche . To get to Orly Airport you will have to take the RER train to Antony and then the OrlyVal train (the airport’s specific automatic train).

Zone 5 is where you will find Charles de Gaulle Airport and Disneyland Paris. To get to CDG Airport you will need to take the RER train to Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 (terminals 1 & 3) or Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2  (terminal 2).

To get to Disneyland Paris you will need to take the RER train to Marne-la-Vallée — Chessy. 

Paris   Metro  Passes

With such a sprawling RATP network, there are endless public transportation pass options. Below are the Paris travel passes I would most recommend for visitors. Unfortunately (and probably the only major downside of the Paris metro), unlike in other cities you cannot just tap-to-pay with your credit card. You will need to purchase some type of pass.

Single Tickets

One of the easiest options for riding the Paris Metro is a single ticket, or a t+ ticket. A single ticket costs €2,10 and gives you access to travel to any metro station regardless of zone, including metro transfers, as well as the Montmartre funicular. Historically these have been sold as small paper tickets that you can purchase in a packet of 10 (a carnet) for a slight discount, but these paper tickets are being phased out. However if you do use the paper tickets you will need to physically insert the ticket into the gate, it will be validated, the doors will open, then you need to take the ticket with you.

Navigo Easy Pass

As the paper tickets are phased out, the Navigo Easy Pass is far and away the best option for Paris Visitors. It’s similar to an Oyster card in London or a Washington, DC SmarTrip card. It’s a reusable, refillable plastic metro card (no more losing paper tickets!) that costs €2 to purchase – you can then add a single ticket, or a digital packet of 10 tickets at a discount.

With these passes, you will tap them at the gate to open. You will need to purchase your Navigo Easy Card from a booth with an attendant at a metro station, major train station, or CDG airport. And you can reload your pass with a credit card at any of the purple kiosks you see at metro stations.

You cannot share a Navigo Easy pass between multiple people on the same journey. And you will need to purchase a separate ticket to get to the airport, Versailles, or Disneyland Paris via RER. You can purchase those tickets at the RER station.

Navigo Decouverte Pass

This is a bit of a tricky pass, but you can get a lot of bang for your buck if the conditions are right. Similar to the Easy Pass, the Navigo Decouverte is also a reusable, refillable plastic metro card. The difference is that this card is a week-long, unlimited pass for the Paris Metro, all RER trains, all buses and trams. It includes travel to CDG, Disneyland Paris, and Versailles and costs €30 for the week.

The catch is that regardless of when you purchase a weekly pass, coverage is only valid from Monday morning at 12:01AM to Sunday at 11:59 PM. If you buy the pass after Thursday at midnight you cannot use the pass for that current week. Like the Easy Pass, this pass must also be purchased from a booth with an attendant. It costs €5 and also requires a small passport photo (another tricky aspect) so you will need to either bring one with you or use one of the photo booths in the station. Like I said, this pass is complicated but can be an amazing deal if your travel dates line up and you don’t mind the extra hoops.

Paris Visite Pass

The Paris Visite Pass is a multi day pass marketed specifically to visitors and offers unlimited public transportation on the Paris Metro, RER, and buses for 1, 2, 3, or 5 consecutive days. You must select how many days and which zones you’d like access to (either zones 1-3 or all zones). Depending on how much you anticipate taking public transportation this can be a great deal! They also offer discounted passes for children. These are paper passes that can be purchased at the ticket booth or kiosks in metro and RER stations, train stations, airports, and tourist offices.

Where To Buy  Metro  Tickets In  Paris

Metro tickets and passes can be purchased at:

  • Paris metro stations
  • RER stations
  • Train stations (Gare du Nord, Gare de l’Est, Gare de Lyon, Gare d’Austerlitz, Gare Montparnasse, Gare Saint-Lazare)
  • Airports (CDG and Orly)

Keep in mind that travel passes like the Easy Pass and Decouverte need to be initially purchased at a manned ticket booth inside the stations, but then can be topped up at a kiosk. You can still purchase paper tickets at most automatic ticket kiosks. You can always use a credit card to purchase your ticket(s) or pass.

Paris   Metro  Tips

Hold onto your paper ticket.

You need to be in possession of your paper ticket until you’ve finished your ride and left the Metro station for good. Police are regularly checking passengers’ fares. So be sure you always have your proof of payment at the ready otherwise you may land a fine. I know many travelers who have fallen victim to this often forgotten rule! This is another reason why I suggest purchasing the Navigo Easy Pass.

Kids don’t always travel free

While children under 4 ride free, children 4-10 can ride at a 50% discount. Remember, when traveling with kids they need to have their own Navigo Easy pass or their own paper ticket.

Know the Paris Metro operating hours

The Paris Metro operates from 5:30AM to 1:15AM daily. On Friday and Saturday evenings it operates until 2:15AM. Rush hour for the Paris Metro is usually 8 – 9 AM, and 6 – 7:30 PM. 

Keep an eye on your things 

As in most major metropolitan cities, use caution and exercise good judgement. Keep your personal belongings zipped up and in front of you, important items like wallets and phones should also be in your bag or front pocket. This should be followed for your entire metro experience – not just on the train itself.

Visit the iconic Art Nouveau metro entrances

It’s always such a treat to visit one of the iconic and historic Art Nouveau metro entrances. At the turn of the century, French architect Hector Guimard was hired to design these aesthetically pleases entrances to the city’s brand new metro system. Today, 86 still remain. Some of my favorites include Palais-Royal–Musée-du-Louvre, Cité, and Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame. 

You might need to open the door yourself

On most of the metro cars, you will need to manually open the door to get on and off. Only a couple of lines have automatic doors! My tip is to watch how others do it your first time. It’s very easy!

I hope you find this post helpful for your next trip to Paris!
