Published on
Which transport ticket should you choose for your stay? Where and how to buy it? Check out our traveller's guide for a weekend, a few days or a week in Paris and its region.
Before you start: how to buy your ticket?
- On the Île-de-France Mobilités app : the official public transport app (iOS and Android)
- On the wallet (iOS)
- At stations and stations, at ticket offices or vending machines: tickets will be loaded onto a rechargeable Navigo physical medium (with the app or at stations and stations)
Please note : one travel support = one person (telephone or Navigo pass)
Which transport ticket should I choose according to my needs?
1. Paris Visite package: the ally of stays of 1 to 5 days
The Paris Visite package gives access to Paris and its Region for 1, 2, 3 or 5 consecutive days.
Its little extra?
- Access to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports included
- It offers cultural and business benefits in different regional tourist spots
Where to buy it?
- On the Île-de-France Mobilités app (Android and iOS)
- At the station and station (ticket machine or ticket office): to be loaded onto aNavigo Easy rechargeable pass
Our advice? Use your ticket for the first time on the morning of your first day. What for? It operates from midnight to midnight. If you use it one evening for the first time, you lose a whole day of plan.
