Has the Paris Region Pass improved?

I have never seen any scenario making the Paris Pass worth its exorbitant price. The Paris Pass is nothing other than a collection of readily available tickets/passes which may be purchased individually at far lower cost.

It's not an improvement on the 6-day Paris Museum Pass: just €74. I think a former post stated that you'll be in Paris for 6-7 days? What with a Navigo Decouverte or even individual transport tickets, you won't come anywhere CLOSE to spending €189.

My husband and I shared 1 carnet of 10 tickets ( €14,90) over our 6.5 days in Paris and barely used them all but we're big walkers. We made very good use of our 6-day Museum Passes.

I'm not even seeing a 5-day Paris Pass offer on the website: they list a 4-day pass for €186, a 6-day for €219, and that's on sale. Ouch.

You skip ticket lines with the Museum Pass as well. No one skips security-check queues with either pass, and wait times can be long at Versailles.

There are a few things the Paris Pass covers that the Museum Pass does not but we either weren't interested in them - such as the 1-day hoho bus tour - or figured we could buy separate tickets to some others, if desired, and still come in way under the price of the Paris Pass.

Essentially, the Paris Pass is a package of the Museum Pass, the Visite Travelcard zones 1-3 (does not cover transport to/from the airports or Versailles), plus some other odds and ends. Like the others, I've never seen this pass recommended as a worthwhile buy.

The Paris Pass is for people who can't do math. You indicate that it would cost you 189 Euro; well what would a Navigo Decouverte and a Museum Pass cost for the same period? There is no special 'skip the line' feature in a Paris Pass which is not a Pass as noted above but just an assembly of other passes you can buy for less in Paris. The 'skip the line' feature is just the ordinary museum pass which gives you access to different security line some places and of course if you have a ticket or pass you 'skip' the ticket line (rarely the longest line). Note that the Museum Pass whether part of the Paris Pass or bought on your own (same thing) provides zero line advantage at Versailles where the security line stretches for blocks.

The product you reference is not the Paris Pass but the Paris Region Pass, specifically, the 5-day Experience Pass.

Looks like it includes a 5-day all-zone Visite transport pass (65.80 EUR bought separately), a 4-day Museum Pass (62 EUR bought separately), 1-day on an Opentour bus (34 EUR bought separately), and a 1-hour cruise on Bateaux Parsiens (15 EUR bought separately).

Add those up and you get 176.80 EUR, so at 189 EUR, you appear to be paying a slight premium for the convenience of one-stop shopping. Additionally, if you bought the Visite by itself, it includes the Bateaux Parisiens tour for 10 EUR and the Opentour bus for 28 EUR plus a few more discounts. So you could actually pay 167.80 EUR for all of these.

The Navigo 1-week pass is the better deal, but it is strictly Monday to Sunday week, If your trips spans a weekend, then it does not work.

I think you were looking at something called a Paris Region Pass, which looks like nearly the same 'bundle' as the Paris Pass. The site is vague on the transport-card piece; implying that it works for the airports but without specifically stating the zone coverage. Maybe it's in there somewhere but I haven't the patience to dig any further.

Regardless, the pass is still overpriced.
Editing to add: Sorry for the redundancy, Sam. Was still typing as you were posting.

I think the Paris MUSEUM pass is a great convenience and decent deal. The Paris Pass is not. What I really wanted to point out is that unless I'm really short on time. I like to walk in Paris. There is so much to see and its so lovely, I feel that I see more an sometimes its just quicker that going down into the metro and then waiting a few minutes, etc.

For many tourists, just buying carnets of ten transit tickets works very well, coming out a lot cheaper than a transit pass. It depends on how much you like to walk and how much time you spend in museums. You aren't using city transit while you're inside the Louvre.

One more thing to add:
The beauty of the Museum Pass was that it allows you to revisit any of the attractions it covers as many times as you wish during the life of the pass. It's a rare benefit, as passes go, as most allow only a single entry. This allowed us to split the (enormous) Louvre into three shorter visits versus one very long, exhausting day, and take in some other attractions on those days as well. Along with one daytime round, we did two others during its evening openings when most other attractions were closed and the crowds were lighter.

At €15 to €17 a pop, depending how one purchases ordinary tickets, those 3 visits would otherwise have cost us €45 to €51 so the savings paid for over half the price of the pass. Of course if art isn't your thing so one couple-hour look at the museum will do ya, then this method isn't of value but throw I'd throw it out. Late openings at some of the other attractions are also good for using the pass to fullest advantage.

Thanks for the replies
The museum pass was my first choice
My biggest issue i am wondering about. The convenience with Navigo
I like taking metro to split up long distance walks. We tend to be on the go with visiting a couple sites or museums a day. Also enjoying what Paris has to offer food shopping etc
When we in Barcelona we used 40 metro tickets over our 6 days. I assume it will be same in Paris. But do i buy Navigo and use 4 days then recharge or buy tickets. Or split it up Navigo and then tickets.

i used public transportation much more in Barcelona than I have in Paris.

The fixed-weekly timing of the Navigo Decouverte really couldn't be much worse for you. It runs from midnight early on Monday through 11:59 PM on Sunday. You arrive on Thursday and are not likely to be making a lot of trips that day, what with jetlag and all. You depart on Wednesday, not allowing for many trips that day, either.

If you buy a Navigo Decouverte upon arrival, it can cover your trip from the airport into town, other trips that day (if you take any) and 3 full days of travel Friday through 11:59 PM on Sunday. Is that worth 22.80 euros when regular tickets in a pack of ten cost 1.49 each? You appear to be rather heavy users of public transit, so the answer may be "yes". Whatever you decide, your experience through Sunday evening can guide you as to whether it make sense to buy a Navigo Decouverte for the rest of your stay in Paris.

For me this would be a purely economic decision, because I don't find it difficult to use individual transit tickets. However, you must be sure to validate those tickets as you use them and hold onto each one until you have finished your trip and are out on the street. There are spot-checks, with fines levied on folks who cannot show the inspector the appropriate ticket.

If you use it to get into Paris on arrival (10.30 EUR) and a round trip to Versailles the first 3 days (7.30 EUR), you are just 10.20 EUR short of breaking even on the Navigo, considering the 5 EUR initial set up fee. That is the value of 7 t+ trips at the carnet price of 1.49 EUR each. So you will be close to breaking even. Probably not worth renewing for the next 3 days. Coming back to Paris again?
