"metro fares - fares fair !" Métro Tip by sourbugger

Unlike London, Paris believes in keeping metro fares at a reasonable level for all. Visitors on short breaks (of less than a week) can’t go far wrong. A single ticket is one euro fifty cent ! small savings can be made by buying a book of 10.



The ‘Paris visite’ card seems to be heavily promoted but at 9.30 euro it means you will need to make six journeys a day before it become worthwhile in purely travel terms. On the other hand if you can avail of one of the discounts it give to various museum / attractions (somewhat limed selection) that you are actually interested in , then it could be worth looking into.

Rat-pee (RATP) might be the name of the metro company, but at least they are taking the P***, unlike London Transport.
