Since you explained this so well, are you able to do a video on taking the buses? I heard that taking the bus is better in order to see the city of Paris. Hopefully you can. I really appreciate this video.

Thanks for the suggestion! However I’ve never ridden the bus in Paris so I’m far from an expert in that, especially to make a video for others! I’ll definitely think about it tho. Walking is always my best recommendation and option!

Love this video! This is exactly the path that I would want to take. You do explain everything very well. I’ll be coming in May and will definitely use line one. The metro looks so confusing, but this helped. I also saw your other metro video and that helped my stress level. 😅 I was there in May 2023 and ended up walking everywhere because I didn’t want to take the metro.

See the subtitle notes in the video or the many times I’ve answered this question in the comments. Currently, some stations are accepting and some people are reporting success with international cards. I haven’t experienced that myself. But it’s ongoing.

@@ThisFrenchLife found this from another thread ‘It is not true that US credit cards don't work in metro machines; they work fine. When it asks for a pin just ignore it and the purchase will proceed for anything less than 75 Euros. I have done this as recently as November of last year. Tickets are good indefinitely so you can buy what you need at the start of the trip -- just be careful not to mix up RER and metro tickets as they look the same. You don't want to spend 11+ Euro on a 2 Euro ride.’

Thank you so much for this! The information about the app was invaluable The tip about changing the "leave now" to when you want to arrive was great and also explaining what the arrow and station direction under the first station meant, was super helpful. That and the tips about double checking you are headed in the right direction made me feel very confident in taking my first metro ride with a connection today. I was even able to do it in Friday afternoon rush hour traveling solo. I made no mistakes at all on the metro.The info about de-magnatizing a paper ticket was helpful. One of my tickets did not open the entrance panels today so I'm going to find an agent who can refund it, especially since it was a 4 Euro ticket. Glad the Olympics are over soon. I'm still directionally impaired when trying to use google maps to walk but I'm going to look for a youtube on that tonight. Thanks again!

Hi, thank you so much for this amazingly thorough and detailed video! If you purchase a round trip ticket to Versailles, Disney or the airport, when does the ticket expire? Is it only good for one day? I’m curious if it’s better to buy tickets as needed. How do you know what zone you need to buy the ticket for? I love how the app tells you which carriage or car to sit on to be closest to the exit. Thank you so much!
@ThisFrenchLife
@ThisFrenchLife Ай бұрын
Thank you for your support and feedback. ☺️ The paper tickets do not have an immediate expiration date or time period. But once validated (you enter the metro turnstiles), you have two hours to finish the “trip.” Regarding zones, it’s not necessary to know what zone you need. You simply follow my instructions in the video, enter the destination, and it will automatically calculate the correct price for you.
