Paris Metro

Going to be in Paris for four days - what are the options for discounted
travel on the metro, as opposed to just buying single journey tickets?

1 t+ ticket allow you for on trip, in metro, or bus with Paris city (and
some small extension in nearby boroughs). In the case of metro you can do
any trip on as many lines as you want, provided that you don't get out.

A bundle of 10 tickets is cheaper than buying 10 individual tickets.

1 ticket t+ 1.70
10 tickets t+ 12.50 EUR

Mobilis is a one day ticket you can use to go where you want using any
kind of urban public urban transport (metro, RER, bus and Montmartre
funicular).

zones 1 - 2 (paris and nearby suburbs): 6.30 EUR
zones 1 - 3 (more suburbs, for example including La Défense Grande Arche):
8.40 EUR
zones 1 - 4 (more suburbs, including for example Versailles and the buses
in Versailles): 10.40 EUR

zones 1 - 5 (more suburbs, including CDG and Orly Airports) : 14.00 EUR


Tourists several days tickets and maps can be found the

An undocumented alternative is to buy a Monday-Sunday workpass, can be
bought until Wednesday.
you have first to buy a RFID pass called Navigo Decouverte (5 EUR).
Then you buy an unlimited transport week:
zones 1 - 2: 18.85 EUR
zones 1 - 3: 24.50 EUR
zones 1 - 4: 29.80 EUR
zones 1 - 5: 33.40 EUR

Thank you, this is useful...

Also the "tramway" lines in some suburbs, right?

zones 1 - 2 (paris and nearby suburbs): 6.30 EUR

8.40 EUR

When I visited the Grande Arche some years ago, the zone system applied
to the RER, but the entire Métro was considered part of Zone 1. So from
central Paris to La Défense, if you took Métro Line 1 you paid the basic
Zone 1 fare, but by RER Line A it was more. Is that still true and, if
so, does it apply to Mobilis as well as single fares?

You are right. It is a bit rare. By Line 1 La Défense is in zone 2. You
only need a zone 1-2 Mobilis.
CDG is actually in zone 5. I have not heard of any restriction to use a
valid Mobilis pass to reach CDG using RER B. I suppose that a large
number of the persons who work in CDG have Navigo or Mobilis pass. But
you cannot use them on Air France coaches.
