Haha you’re so welcome! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching🤗

[@rhythmchyc3089]

This was such a thorough tutorial. Thank you,

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

You’re so welcome! Glad to hear it was helpful. Have a good trip!🇫🇷

[@cat_city2009]

Thank you for this. I didn't know the tickets were all inclusive for different transportation methods (bus, metro etc)

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

You're so welcome! It can be quite intimidating to take public transport in and around Paris, so I thought to be of some help :)

[@sonilasherpa19]

Hello! Love this videoo. So helpful!! Im coming to Paris tomorrow! Really excitedd. Will be staying for 5 days. Gotta buy the book ticket right?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi, thanks for watching! How exciting:)) For a 5-day stay, I’d recommend a book of tickets with a Navigo Easy pass. Enjoy your stay🇫🇷

[@bizcochodulce]

Thanks for the video, excellent explanation ! Quick question, Can i use the NAVIGO EASY CARD with 2 people at the same time? I go through the mills of the metro and then I give the card to the other person to use one of the 10 tickets. Is it possible? Thanks in advance

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi, thanks for watching! Glad to hear that you found the video to be helpful, that’s the goal. You can share the Navigo Easy Card with someone else. There’s no photo on the physical card, so anyone can use it

[@miriam.nyarko]

Heyyy, quick question, love the video and very grateful! Me and my boyfriend are only staying for a day and obviously it’s cheaper to take transport. Do you recommend a Ticket t+ for us and if we only wanna get a bus do we still need to go into the metro to buy one? Hope this makes sense aha xx

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi, thanks for watching! I’m glad you found the video to be helpful. Unfortunately, you can’t buy bus tickets on the buses, only at Metro stations. So, I recommend that you go to a local Metro station (there’s several around the city) and buy your bus tickets there. Have a good trip🤗🇫🇷

[@nareshshankar1980]

Can t+ tickets be used across all zones for bus and trams? Also for Navigo pass, can i use it in the same week until Sunday if i am arriving on Wednesday? Thanks !

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

I just double checked and the t+ tickets for buses and trams are only applicable for zone one. And for a Navigo pass question, yes exactly. That weekly pass is valid from your Wednesday arrival to the following Sunday. From both of your questions, it sounds like you'd be best to look into getting a Navigo Easy Pass which is starting to replace paper t+ tickets. Here's a short video I did on that explaining what it offers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaTZZinpbmaZqM Hope that helps!

[@jackz1057]

just a quick question that is the ticket bought from this machine ok to start a trip on bus? Also is the ticket ok to transfer between bus and metro within the 1.5h limit?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! The tickets bought in any Metro station are called ticket t+ and they give you access to the Metro, bus and tram as you wish. Sadly, with the tickets they are single-use, so the moment you insert it into a bus it's done for. The exceptions to this are when you're changing Metro lines. Hope that helps:)

[@nazarettos6987]

good helpful video

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thank you! So glad to hear you found it helpful

[@ChrissieC-ut1qn]

Are we still able to buy the carnet of 10 tickets now (as of Nov)? I read somewhere that they are phased out and we need to buy the Navigo cards? I'll be arriving at Gare du Nord around December and wanted to be prepared. Thanks!

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi, you are correct. Since I posted this video, RATP has phased out the carnet of 10 tickets. I’ve made another video explaining how you can buy a Navigo Easy Pass here: kzbin.infofu04eqpTg0A?feature=share Thanks for watching! Enjoy your trip🇫🇷

[@bizcochodulce]

Here again :) . What do you recommend for two people who stay in Zone 3 and want to visit Zone 1. I arrive at night and then I have two full days in Paris to visit (Weekend). I did a calculation and we would make 9 tickets in those days per person. I had thought about the Navigo pass with 10 tickets, but I read in the comments that it is not useful to leave zone 1 so It is not useful to return to the Hotel. Is that correct? What do you think is better?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi again! Hopefully I’m not responding to this too late. I’d recommend you getting the Navigo weekly pass with access to zones 1,2,3 that way you can go back and forth between the center and suburbs no problem. Enjoy your stay🤗🇫🇷

[@FahrenRilley]

Hey thank you for this video!! I have a quick question… I downloaded the Navigo App is there a way to pre-purchase the weekly tickets and then once I arrive in Paris I can get the Navigo Decouverte Card and top up the tickets in my phone to the card?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! You can pre-purchase weekly tickets up to 6 days before your trip. And yes when you get to Paris, you can buy the Navigo Découverte Card in person then renew it online. Enjoy your trip🇫🇷

[@FahrenRilley]

@@TheSavvyCScoop Thank you! Do you happen to have a video on how to do so? When I'm on the app I only see the option to purchase on the Navajo pass and to scan the physical card. Since I don't have the physical card yet, how do I pre-purchase?

[@joycerupax7602]

Thank you so much! Coming in a few weeks and this was my biggest stressor but this video helped so much! Do you have any recommendations of things outside of sight-seeing for young people (23)? like events or places to eat etc.

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

You're so welcome, thanks for watching! I'm 23 as well:) and yes I do. There's a great app that you should get called Dice that's full of live events happening all around Paris each day (Concerts, day parties, afrobeat cruises, rooftop events, etc.) I highly recommend downloading that app. As for places to eat, you should check out La Felicitá is a collection of restaurants in the 13th arrondissement (district) of Paris that's really dynamic and fun. Should I make a video about this? Hope that helps!

[@joycerupax7602]

@@TheSavvyCScoop I'll definitely get it! Im comig solo for so I want socialise and make the most of my trip. Just language wise, is english widely spoken in Paris? or will have to brush up on my french? Yes please! It would be good to know the hidden food gems. Thank you so much!

[@haseebk14]

Coming to Paris later this year, how are the subway ‘police’ to inspect if you only have a navigo card and not actual tickets?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Great question! I failed to mention this in the video since I was solely focusing on tickets. With an active Navigo card that has your picture on it, you won’t have any issues with the contrôleurs in the Metro. Just give it to them to scan and you’re good to go. Bon voyage🇫🇷

[@first2riot]

Hello, thanks for the information. Will a book of 10 cover the RER train as well?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, the book of 10 includes the RER train. But, since filming this, they've replaced the book of 10 paper tickets with the Navigo Easy Pass. Here's a video of mine explaining the Navigo Easy Pass: kzbin.infofu04eqpTg0A Here's RATP's website explaining it as well: www.ratp.fr/en/titres-et-tarifs/passe-navigo-easy Hope that helps!

[@charleyr7010]

Hi im traveling to france soon and have a option to use rer a train from disneyland and getting off one stop to val d europe. Is this accessible with a suitcase? Also with the navigo pass bulk ticket buy is it useable for the route?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! The RER A Marne-la-Vallée Chessy (Disneyland) stop is easy to get to and accessible with a suitcase. You'll likely see other people on the train with bags as well, there's a lot of space. And yes a bulk ticket is useable for this route, but I would recommend the Navigo Découverte Travel Card and ensure you get it with access to zones 1-5 since you'll be traveling in and around Disney (Zone 5) and will likely want to go to the center of Paris which is zone 1. Hope that helps!

[@Cleisthenes607]

Thanks for the video. How long is the book of ten valid for, and I've read stuff about needing photo ID to buy tickets or am I wrong about that?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! Paper tickets are being phased out, so I recommend getting a Navigo pass with a book of ten on it. And there’s no expiration date once you purchase them. There is a 90-minute validity time limit between the first and the last validation. Hope that helps!

[@eythora_24]

Question….. do you know if there is a currency exchange in all of the Paris Airports???? And do they sell SIM Cards in the airports too???

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! I know there’s a currency exchange in Charles de Gaulle. I’m not sure about Orly since I’ve never been. There are several currency exchange places in Paris especially the 9th arrondissement near Opéra. You can get a SIM card at Terminal 1 or in person at Free mobile.

[@gelmartinez2044]

Hello 👋 I love your videos!! I just want to ask.. I'm taking RER C train and stop to Cernay. Where I can buy ticket for RER C? is it a different ticket or it is the same ticket that I used inside Paris.

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi, thanks for watching! So glad to hear that you enjoy my videos. They're a lot of fun for me to make. For RER C tickets, you can buy them at the station. The only difference will be the ticket price, so you'll pay a bit more for going back into Paris (Zone 1) rather than just going from Zone 5 to Zone 4,3, or 2. Hope that helps🤗

[@luisbilardys]

Hi! I used a paper ticket on Tram T7, but when I tried to use it again in Villejuif, it didn't work. Do you know why? I thought it was valid for 90 minutes.

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi, thanks for watching! You're correct. From the first validation to the last validation, you have 90 minutes so it should've worked. I'm not sure why it didn't work for you, you did the correct thing. Maybe next time opt for a Navigo card instead of a paper ticket since they're phasing those out.

[@MrKingpin1988]

Thank you so much

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Yw! I hope it helps

[@ClaireYoungMin]

Hello! Can I use my navigo easy pass from the airport and to go to Versailles?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi! Thanks for watching! From the city center to Versailles, yes you can definitely use your Navigo easy pass for that. As from the airport to the city center! For further information, here’s a link to their website: www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/titres-et-tarifs/supports/passe-navigo-easy Hope that helps:)

[@TierraFashion]

Be sure if you get the paris viste pass that it has your name on it and that it is valid like the screen turns green on the bus or they will try to charge you even if you paid 69 euros for your pass. It is honestly frustrating especially since we did unlimited to avoid issues. However, the man and lady kept speaking in French until someone spoke English to us, and we had no clue that we had to write our name on that ticket. Make sure that you sign your name on the ticket or they will try to charge you. People were holding guns on us, and that was scary. They even threatened to arrest us until I threaten to call the US embassy. It was not handled properly, but I want to inform people of that.

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm sorry that this happened to you, hopefully you were still able to enjoy your trip afterwards. I really appreciate you giving this advice to fellow travellers

[@chaitramurthy3123]

[@sohanajessy3339]

Also if I buy the t+ book of 10 can I use it to go to versalies palace

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

If you want full access to see all of Paris, Versailles, Disneyland, the airports, etc. then I recommend the Navigo Découvert Pass Here’s a video explaining that: kzbin.infoR2MqNK48vtI?feature=share

[@sohanajessy3339]

If I buy book of 10 tickets can I use it for 2 days it will it expire also the 10 tickets can be used by 10 different person or just one person can use it for 10 times

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! The book of 10 tickets has been replaced by the Navigo Easy Pass. With the Navigo Easy Pass, anyone can use the card and it’s refillable. Here’s a video explaining that card: kzbin.infofu04eqpTg0A?feature=share

Hi there again!!!!!! I hope you see this comment because I have some important questions to ask you pleaseeeee. I’m headed to Paris this In 13 Days and your channel really helps, is there anyway you can have the time to answer these questions please. 1- When I arrive at the CDG Airport, you said that the SIM Cards are located in Terminal 1 for me to purchase? 2- In the CDG Airport you mentioned that there is a currency exchange booth somewhere around the airport, if the booth are closed will there me ATMs in the airport for me to exchange my USD to Euros??? 3- I have a Bank of America debit card which is a Visa, can I use that in ATMs??? 4- My hotel that i will be staying is called “Hotel Derby Eiffel” what is the BEST way to get from CDG to my hotel? 5- You talked about the Navigo Pass/Card……. There was another KZbinr that talked about it and he said that you can download app which is “IDF Mobilités” and he said you can literally purchase tickets on your phone and use them as tickets to scan to get access inside. Is there an actual app for Navigo??

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad to hear that my channel is helping you prepare for your upcoming trip to France:) My answers to your questions are as follows: 1. Yes. You can buy a SIM card at Terminal 1tourist information station of CDG Airport. If there’s an unforeseen issue with buying a SIM card you can go to Free Mobile in Forum Les Halles Châtelet. 2. If the ATM booth is closed for currency exchange, there are several in Paris. I highly recommend that you do the exchange beforehand with Bank of America since the exchange fees in Paris are quite high. Doing with your bank directly is easier and cheaper. 3. Visa is accepted across France no problem. It’s always good to have cash on you just in case. I also advise you to tell Bank of America that you’ll be in France so they don’t think your charges are fraudulent and freeze your card mid-trip. 4. The best and most direct way would be a taxi that you order directly through an app that way the amount is set beforehand rather than negotiating in the car or getting potentially scammed. I suggest you ask your hotel if they have an airport shuttle or can arrange a taxi for you with a flat rate. That’ll save you quite the potential headache. 5. IDF Mobilités is home to all things Paris public transportation including Navigo. And yes, that’s correct you can buy tickets and use your phone to scan when using public transport. Hope that answers your questions! Enjoy your trip🇫🇷

Hi,love the video! My question is, is the T+ only valid in one day? I mean,for example you buy it late night at 20.00,but you gonna use it tomorrow. Is it still valid? Thanks!

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

So if I get a ticket t + and a book of 10. I will be able to ride the RER 10 times. And that will cover from disneyland paris into the city and around the city. And back to Disneyland Paris? And then dl paris to the airport? Correct?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! With a book of 10 and a ticket t+ you'd be able to have 5 trips in total (Going and coming) or 10 one-way trips. Based on your presented needs, I'd recommend you get the Navigo Decouverte Pass for a week. It's unlimited travel using all forms of transport, to all five zones (Both airports, Disneyland Paris, Versailles, etc.). I'm posting a video about it this week. Here's a link with more information on it: parisbytrain.com/paris-train-metro-week-pass-navigo-decouverte/ Hope that helps!

[@travelwiththetwins_kari]

@The SavvyC Scoop ok thanks. We only doing the city for one day. What time does the rer open and close?

[@travelwiththetwins_kari]

What time does the rer open and close?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

The RER opens at 5:30 am and closes around 1/1:30 am

[@ibnbattuta1304]

So they are still selling the book of 10 tickets? I thought they were phasing that out?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

I’ve heard they’re going to phase them out, but as of now they’re still an option. Thanks for watching!

[@arthurmillet8023]

Books of 10 paper tickets are already no longer sold at about 100 stations. You can (and should!) get a Navigo Easy card which you can load with a book 10 tickets. The card costs 2€, but you get a 2€ discount for each book of 10 tickets you buy with the Navigo Easy card. You can buy the card in any metro/RER station by asking the station agent.

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Oh perfect!!! Thank you so so much for sharing this. I'll be sure to mention this in part three of this series.

[@cristianborenstejn1608]

so the mot useful ticket for a visitor is the Paris Visite where you can choose how many days you will need it but it's the one you didn't talk about or give any information about prices and how it works, good job...

[@79JOM1]

Hi, how much is the 10 tickets for zone 1-3?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Hi, the price is 16,90€ with a Navigo Easy. For exact details and full reassurance, download the Bonjour RATP app

[@Buckleigh]

if you will.....

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching!

[@sharmilaseries8773]

I don't understand this. So let's say you buy 1 t-ticket and travel by metro. That is a single journey. So to get back you'll need to buy a t-ticket again?

[@TheSavvyCScoop]

Thanks for watching! You understood correctly. Buying 1 t-ticket grants you a one-way journey. For example, you can take the metro from the Eiffel Tower to the Arc de Triomphe but you can not go back without buying another t-ticket. Hope that helps!
