Métro & Trains: Assistance getting metro ticket

  • When getting onto the Metro (subway system), there may be men who seem too willing to help a foreign tourist-no they don't work for the Paris Tourism Board.

    These unscrupulous characters will 'assist' you in getting a ticket for the subway...they may buy a daily one-time ticket and charge you a longer-term ticket. The scam doesn't cost you too much but it feels like *** to get scammed no matter what the amount! Yes, I (we) got scammed this way and can still remember some of the details some 3 years later!

    By the way, avoid Pigalle at all costs, nothing but bad news and con men/women there. Those champagne bottles don't come free and definitely not cheap!
