Does anyone know if you can purchase Le Passport to Versailles on a Sunday

Posted by (ACTON, MA) on

Has anyone purchased Le Passport to Versailles at a metro station within the last couple of months?

We are scheduled to arrive in Paris on Sunday morning at 6AM. If we arrive at our hotel by 8-9AM we would like to go to Versailles Sunday morning. If, for whatever reason, we don't arrive at our hotel until closer to noon (e.g. plane delay, etc) we will go to Versailles on Tuesday afternoon instead. As a result of this uncertainty we would like to purchase Le Passport when we get to Paris. I do not expect to find FNC stores open on Sunday, but we would like to purchase Le Passport before we get to Versailles so we don't have to wait in line to purchase Le Passport. So if they sell Le Passport at the metro stations that would be ideal, but no one I've asked (i.e. at our hotel) seems to know.

Thanks.

Thank you. We called the hotel staff this afternoon and they said we could purchase it at Invalides, but I am skeptical, since I have seen in many places that they are no longer available at the RER stations. How long was the wait to purchase Le Passport at Versailles? Was it worth going on a Sunday to see the fountains and hear the music? An alternative for us is to go on Tuesday afternoon.

In May we tried to purchase Le Passport at one of the RER stations. The RER agent informed us that they discontinued selling the Passport at RER stations, but we would be able to purchase the Passport at Versailles.
We purchased the Passport at Versailles and inquired why the RER stations no longer sold the Passport. We were told the RER agents were selling the Passport to individuals that normally would not have to pay an entrance fee and this was causing problems for the staff at Versailles.
