Navigo

Navigo cards off all sorts can be purchased from vending machines in Metro Stations. Just hit the "English" button and have an idea of what you want. Discontinuous day usage suggests getting ones that are denominated in numbers of rides, 8 for example, over several days. The machine will remind you that each ride is only one way - so going somewhere and back will be two rides.

There is no 4 day pass. Pass options are:

• a day pass at 12€ (excludes airport access)
• a weekly pass, valid Monday through Sunday only and will not work for you.
• a Paris Visite Pass, valid for any 5 consecutive days - 76.25€

I would simply purchase a Navigo Easy card (2€), and load it with the necessary métro/RER/Transilien train tickets at 2.50€ and as many bus/tramway tickets are you may need at 2€.

Transportation fares may be purchase at any métro/train station, or at any of the hundreds of 3rd party resellers such as magazine stores or tabacs.

All Taxis Parisiens accept Visa/MC.

Thanks everyone. So, from what I can gather, purchase a Navigo Easy Card pass and load it up with as many rides either on the bus or metro I think we will use over four days? As for the taxi, I like to pay them in cash, but if I have ordered one through my G7 app, is the ride automatically credited to the credit card used to open the app?

If you entered your credit card info when you downloaded the app, it'll automatically be charged to your card.

if you don't have a card you'll end up spending the better part of an hour waiting to get to the front of a kiosk in CDG or Gare l'Est. Don't do that. Go to one of the smaller stations and buy your card and load it there. The advice of just loading trips vs. a pass is good. odds are you will not use more than 4-5 trips a day.

Thank you everyone.
