Confused about pricing and passes for transport within Paris.

Posted by (Western Canada) on

I’ve been reading about the different tickets and passes for Paris Metro, Buses and RER.
It appears there are changes as of Jan 1, 2025.
It seems there’s a flat charge of E13 from CDG onto Paris which is all I need for arrival day as I’m only staying one night to begin my trip.

Two weeks later I plan a four day stay in Paris.
What would be the best pass to buy for those, including the RER returning to CDG on the fifth morning?
Not sure yet which days of the week.
I’ve still got my Navigo Decouverte weekly Mon-Sun. pass card pfrom 2017….is it still possible to reload that, or are those now defunct?
It was so handy and paid for itself really quickly.
If anyone knows how to simplify all the new types of passes please let me know!
Thank you.

The ND is good for 10 years so your card is good and can be loaded with a weekly pass. There really is no other pass worth getting (perhaps a day pass for 12 Euro if you will do a lot of travel on one day)

If your 4 days are not within one mon-sun week then get a Navigo Easy and put metro tickets on it -- those tickets are now 2.50 each and will take you anywhere in the Ile de France except the airports. They replace the old RER point to point tickets as well as metro tickets -- the t+ tickets and the carnet discounts are no more.

You could get the NE at the airport on arrival and get two airport tickets loaded on it for 13 each; no other tickets can be on the NE when it is used for the airport. Then when you return to Paris you can load it with MTR i.e. metro/train tickets.
