We will be in Paris in April. I understand that Metro paper tickets are no more, and one must get a Navigo Easy card and add fares to it. But I am confused about our RER tickets to Versailles. Are those still paper tickets, or are specific higher fares added to the Navigo Easy?

Michelle,
I believe that paper tickets are still available, however they will be phased out soon.
You may consider getting the Navigo Decouverte weekly pass instead.
This pass offers unlimited transport (Monday -Sunday) on the Metro, buses, RER trains, trams.
Hope this helps, enjoy your trip!

We will only be there from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday morning, so the Navigo Decouverte doesn't seem like a good option.

There are no plans to change RER tickets, which are all paper. Only the paper ticket t+ is being phased out.
Tickets which can be loaded onto the Navigo Easy are:
- Tickets t+
- Airport buses; Roissybus or Orlybus
- Navigo Day passes to include the Jeune week-end pass.

Michele,
Since the Navigo Decouverte won’t work for you, then you’ll need to purchase separate RER tickets.
You’ll find detailed information here:
Paris to Chateau Versailles by Train
If you’re planning to go up the Eiffel Tower,
make sure you book your tickets soon (presently up to 60 days in advance) for best time selection. Here’s the official website: TourEiffel.Paris
Enjoy your time in beautiful PAris!
