I'm travelling to paris tomorrow and landing at charles de gaulle airport. I have my stay booked in Argenteuil
. I'm planing to visit eiffel tower, catacombs,versailes palace,seine river, louvre musuem over 3 days. I would like to know if Paris visite pass (zone 1-3) would work for me from Argenteui to all these destinations. For trips from the airport and trip to versailes palace, I'm planning to take separate tickets as paris visite pass(zone 1 to 3) wouldnt work here.

You will need the zone 1-5 version, not the zone 1-3. Argenteuil itself is in zone 4, well outside Paris.

If you are leaving tomorrow (Sunday, Sept 29) from North America, you will arrive Monday morning (Sept 30). Rather than a zone 1-5 3-day Visite costing 53.75 EUR, get a 7-day all-zone Navigo Decouverte for 22.30 EUR plus a 5 EUR card set-up fee. Bring a 1 inch by 1 1/4 inch passport type photo. A photocopy of you passport photo or a selfie properly sized on copy paper will work. Pass is valid for one week from Monday morning to Sunday night for everything you want to do.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will buy the Navigo Decouverte card at cdg airport once I land there. My flight lands at 2pm on 30th September. That's a good amount of savings considering that I can visit all of Paris, suburbs, Versailles, airport in the same pass unlimited for a week.

Yes and you save yourself even more money if you have a photocopy of your photo as mentioned above. You don't need a photo from a photo booth (although you will if you don't take one with you !).

Yes, I do have a photocopy of my passport and Visa. And I am carrying passport size photos with me.

passport is too big -- you need something smaller 25/30mm -- consider just copying them and reducing when you copy.
