Mobilis vs Paris Visite

Hi, I will be visiting the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Notre Dame. I have a ride that will drop me off at the Eiffel tower, but from there I want to take the Metro to the other locations and back. This is all in Zone 1 if I am not mistaken. The Mobilis ticket seems cheaper and supposedly I can purchase it at the Metro that same day? Or I can get the Paris Visite when I arrive at CDG the day before, but it's more expensive. Is the Mobilis an ok way to go? Is it easy to purchase and find?

Thanks.

Yes, just as easy to buy as any other metro ticket. Visite is pretty much over priced, as includes discounts for things you don't want to see.
If you are only making 3 trips on the Metro, t+ tickets are 1.90 EUR. So that is 5.70 EUR. A Mobilis is 7.50 EUR, so your cheapest option is to just buy t+ tickets.

Sometime this month, the Navigo Easy card should be available. Costing 2€, it will hold up to 30 tickets T+ or a Navigo Jour fare (the old Mobilis).

I haven´t yet seen any recent announcements about its debut and if the Navigo Easy becomes available in similar fashion to other RATP developments, it may not appear for some time. However, it´s something to watch for.
