Paris Metro Fares and Tickets

see behind the scenes … . .

The Paris transport metro is clean and bright, and safe at all hours.

When I lived in Paris I used to by the Carte Orange (Orange Ticket), valid for one month at a time. I provided a small passport photo which was then attached, and it worked well.

These days the Carte Orange is being phased out in favour of the Navigo Découverte.

The Paris Navigo Découverte ticket is valid for up to TEN YEARS! So if you plan on coming back to Paris, keep your ticket in your Travel Box at home – simply update/recharge it when you get back to Paris.
