Warnings Or Dangers: Higher prices for passes

    • We've always liked to be as prepared as possible before every departure in order not to miss a thing.

    Also this time, I collected all the information available on Internet regarding the passes in Paris, both for Paris Museum Pass and Carte Orange.

    But even on the official web sites the indicated prices were much lower (up to a difference of EUR 10-) than the ones we have found in Paris.

    So when doing your budget for the travel, it's better to be prepared for everything.

    Métro & Trains: Problems when buying Carte Orange/Tourist Card

    • Everybody recommended us to buy Carte Orange as the best option for transportation in Paris, from all points of view, including the price.

    But when we arrived in Paris trying to buy it from a couple of Metro stations was really an adventure.

    Understanding that we are tourists some of the sellers were quite aggressive and rude when explaining that the only pass we are allowed to buy is the Tourist Pass, which obviously was almost 50% more expensive than Carte Orange.

    At the end we succeeded to buy it from a smaller, not so "ouristy" metro station, but not without a lot of useless efforts.

     Diana.. Beautiful pictures and great tips. We are going in December and will spend Christmas in Paris. I can't wait. Tom    		clementine31129 Sun Jan 27, 2008 16:41 UTC
     I have heard about the Hotel des Sens, and was wondering if it is necessary to pay any admission of any sort to visit the gardens, as I have heard they are lovely. Thanks for your help!
