Carte Orange

We are arriving on Apil 11th, Monday early morning until the 17th and like many are confused at whether we should get a Paris Visite, or Carte Orange passes. We will be hitting all of the major attractions including Disney. Any advise would be appreciated.

Given the days of you visit, a weekly (Mon-thru Sun) CARTE ORANGE pass is the hands-down BEST deal. If you%26#39;ve any doubt of this, compare the costs at:

Weekly CARTE ORANGE (Zone 1-2)--------15,40 Euro

5 day PARIS VISITE (Zone 1-3)------------26,65 Euro

Weekly CARTE ORANGE (Zone 1-5)--------30,20 Euro

5 Day PARIS VISITE (Zone 1-5)------------45,70 Euro

All you need for ALL Metro and Bus transportaion within the City of Paris is a pass good for Zone 1-2. So, unless you are planning a few RER trips outside of Paris (Disneyland Paris Zone5, Versailles Zone 4, CDG Zone 5) purchase a CARTE ORANGE Zone 1-2 pass and a separate round-trip RER ticket for Disneyland Paris (A-4 ligne--12,20 Euro r.t.)

In figuring out if we should get a Paris Visite or a Carte Ornage,I should have also mentioned that we are staying in Issy Les-Moulineaux. Can anyone tell me what zone we will be in?

|||

Issy Les-Moulineaux is in Zone 2. Porte de Verailles is there, the end of Metro line ... memory fading... the one that goes down Vaugirard through the 15th. You%26#39;ll be needing the buses and possibly the RER to get around that neighborhood more than Metro.

|||

Can you use the Carte Orange for the RER as well as the Metro and the buses?

|||

Yes. Carte Orange works on buses, RER %26amp; Metro.

Issy Les-Moulineaux is just outside of the city of Paris, down in the southw-west corner. It is still located within Zone 2. If you look at a Metro Map and follow the #12 Merto ligne to its southern terminus, it will be MAIRIE d%26#39; ISSY (average train time to Place de la Concorde 18 mins). Portions of Issy are also accessable via the RER %26#39;C%26#39; lignes from the ISSY station (still within Zone 2). So a CARTE ORANGE Zone 1-2 transportation pass will still do the trick for you.

Bear in mind that if you wanted to do a day-trip out to Chateau de Versailles on the RER C-5 train from ISSY to VERSAILLES-Rive Gauche, you would still need to purchase a separate RER ticket.
