My wife and I leave in 13 days for a 2 month vacation in Paris. We have most of the travel details finalized but I took notes on the Metro over several months on my Droid and thought it was backed up. It was not and it failed this week! I am 61 and had some notes on getting greatly reduced Metro passes by going to City Hall or somewhere. We have rented an apartment so I have a Paris address but I can't find the senior discount info. Can someone help? Thanks!!

This is not the final word but, I thought, the discounts were limited to Paris and/or EU citizens and you needed to produce a local id to qualify. No experience only what I thought I know which could be completely wrong.

Could well be right. The article I read and clipped (in English and French) just said I had to have a Paris address. So, I'm going to the airport 2x per week for 18 RTs. Suggestions on an overall pass? I had thought to get a week pass for the first two and last two and a month pass for March. Any idea what zone is CDG?

CDG is in zone 5. For your purposes the best weekly pass would be the zone 1-5 Navigo Semaine (good Monday-Sunday, not any seven-day period). It costs €34.40. The best monthly pass would be a zone 1-5 Navigo Mois. It's good for a calendar month (first day to last day). It costs €113.20. You load these passes on a passe Navigo Decouverte card which costs €5.00 and is good for ten years. You must attach a 3cm high x 2.5cm wide photo to it. Scan your passport photo and reduce the copy to the appropriate size.

Thank you VERY much! That is what I thought but it surely helps to have someone confirm it.
