T+ ticket on Navigo Easy pass?

HI all
What's the best option for metro/bus use in Paris? We will also have 2 trips outside Paris (a music festival, Vaux).

We're there for a week, thursday to thursday, before heading to Belgium.

thx!

Your dates are not good for the Navigo Decouverte so you are probably best off with an Easy with a carnet of t+ tickets. Add more if you run out. For trips outside Paris buy RER paper tickets (2 each for each trip -- coming and going)

Agreed with Jane, this is what we did in July. We were there Thurs-Wed. We arrive at Gare Montparnasse and went to the desk and bought the Easy pass with a carnet loaded on each one in our group. Had to do a separate transaction for my daughter's pass since she is a reduced fare (in case that applies to your group). For our trips to Versailles and back to CDG we bought separate tickets. Once our carnet ran out, we just bought paper carnet of 10 tickets to split as we knew we only needed a few more trips and didn't want to have 5+ trips left on each pass. The pass was super ready and was nice to not have to keep track of paper tickets each trip.

I find it helpful to define passes as offering multi-entry access, available at a single price, determined by zone coverage and days included. Tickets only provide one trip access to public transportation.

The Navigo Easy card primarily holds tickets, the Navigo Découverte stores passes. the primary exception being that any of the various day passes may be loaded onto either card.

The RATP has announced that the only paper tickets t+ they are currently offering are single tickets at 1.90€ or ticket d'accès à bord, for one time, non-connecting bus access, at 2€. A Navigo Easy card (2€) may be loaded with any number of tickets t+ one may want, to a maximum of 29. Only groups of 10 are available a 14.90€, otherwise, tickets are 1.90€ each.
