Best Paris transit pass as of January 2025

Posted by (Kirkland, WA) on

I'm headed to Paris later this month and am trying to figure out the most economical pass for transit.

I'll be arriving on a Wednesday and will need to get from CDG to my hotel in the 15th, likely by RER B plus the metro or tram. On Sunday evening I'll head back to CDG to stay at a hotel there for an early flight home on Monday. For all of the days that I'll be there, I expect to be taking between 2-5 metro/bus/tram trips each day.

I'd prefer a single pass with unlimited rides so that I don't have to keep track of things. My research seems to indicate that a Navigo Week pass would be best - the All Zone pass for €31.60 sounds like a good deal (especially since two €13 tickets to/from CDG is €26 alone.)

Does this sound correct, or am I missing something?

The Navigo weekly pass, valid for any Monday to Sunday period, will likely be the best option. At 31.60€ for all zones, load it onto either a Navigo Découverte card (5€), or a properly configured smartphone using either the IDF Mobilités app or the Bonjour RATP app.

I had the same question regarding my trip in March and April but now I don't know what the RDF(?) or ATP(?) that was in the response?? Is one better than the other?Thank you

If you want to use a smartphone to hold your public transportation fares, either app should work fine. If you use apple products, the IDF Mobilités app is specifically mentioned as compatible. Android phones work well with either app.

I still use a card, and you can purchase a Navigo Découverte card (5€), attach a photo where specified, and load any pass. This is easier for some people.

I’ve been researching this also. It appears to me that the only thing available to tourists now (as of January 1, 2025) is the Travel pass for 1, 3, or 5 days, not the Navigo weekly pass. It is a good deal more expensive: €76.25 for 5 days. The official site only lists that for non-residents. If that is the case, ‘pay as you go’ using the phone app may be the best option for many. I’d love insight from anyone who has actually been in Paris since the first if the year.

Just wondering if you can still use individual carnet tickets. Or do we have to use a pass.
Going to Paris for 3 days in April . There will be 4 of us.
