Your video is so detailed! I've watched so many videos about public transport in Paris, they got between 60k and 400k views but they weren't as interesting as yours! Thank you so much for sharing those tips. That will definitely help!
Thank you, Sara! I’m so glad you watched and found this video interesting and helpful ❤️ I want to give people the information I wish I had before my trip in one place 👍🏽 Your positive, supportive feedback is very encouraging, thanks again and have a wonderful trip!!
Best. Information. Video. On Paris metro. Ever. Seriously, as a parisian, this is the most precise and accurate one i saw, avoiding a lot of misconceptions i've too much heard. If i could add something, I'd add : - A t+ ticket is, for the road network, have virtually unlimited validity and connections number (not only one as you implied)... as long as you take your last bus/tram before the 90 minutes deadline, this last trip can last hours. - It's a misconception that the t+ ticket is valid on zone 1 and 2. It's even nearly not related to the zone system. In short : Bus/tram network, no zone limit, except on special fare lines (Noctiliens, 350, 351...). Metro/Rer, all metro network (which extend up to zone 3) but limited to zone 1 for RER. So you can't go to the Stade de France (zone 2) by rer with a t+... but you can by metro ; same for La défense (zone 3). - If you want, i know some cheap ways to go to the airports for few or even one t+ ticket.
Thank you for your awesome comment and for sharing additional information, Leebpascal1!! I (and we, the travel community) really appreciate you taking the time to contribute. Have a great day ❤️😊😁👍🏽
Thank you. The "Maps" link was PERFECT. Somewhat easy to use (once I figured out what I was looking at). Not only was I able to print out a visual map of the trip, but it even provided written directions for getting from one point to the next--with times, line numbers, transfer points, AND specific travel directions for each part of the itinerary.
Also if you are under 26 and using the public transports on the weekend, there are super cheap 1 day ticket called "ticket jeunes week-end" they run from like 4€ for a day for zone 1-2. That all I used when I was living in Paris because I didn't have to use public transports on the week days, you just have to make sure you don't lose it lol.
Bonjour ,Bravo ,like others I’ve watched tons of videos about Paris transport system , I love 💕 to walk and most of the attractions I want to visit is within zones 1-5 ,I’ll purchase 10 t1 tickets 🎟️ also a Navigo pass because I was not aware it’s value of 10 yrs ,.I was thinking about a scooter or bike but I saw how dangerous it may be if not familiar with the city streets ,and ur right to get the fell of Paris and see all the lovely sites it’s better and these days highly safe to walk if not on a schedule a gain thxs for ur down to earth video.😊
Omg you're a life saver, I almost planned to get the Paris Visite pass for my trip next month but luckily your video was in the recommendations & I glad I watched it!
Thank you so much for this video, there really is no information around the metro or airport about the pass unless you speak directly to an employee there. The Navigo Découvert pass saved my partner and I so much money, we would have just paid 20.00+ euro EACH per day getting to and from Paris.
Exactly! There’s no information about the pass - no signage or anything when you arrive unless you specifically request it by name. I’m so glad you were able to save money and still see the things you wanted to see in Paris ❤️ Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, John! Happy travels 😊👍🏽
Our pleasure. With our first Paris trip coming up, we’ve been doing our homework and read about the Navigo pass. Then I searched TH-cam and found your excellent video. You are so enthusiastic and informative! Thanks again.
@@FrolicAndCourage You mean an actual photo or just your passport (which has the photo in it) - please explain. BTW, I love this video and all the tips!, hubby and I are going to Paris for the first time ever in March 2020 and plan on using public transportation, so this is very helpful!!
@@godzgurl Hey Gretchen! I mean an actual photo that you attach to the card :o) Thanks for dropping a positive comment and I hop you and your Hubby enjoy your trip to Paris in March!
@@leahalfredo Hello!! Kids under 4 are free, and children 5-10yrs old can receive 1/2 off a single or carnet of t+ tickets. www.ratp.fr/en/titres-et-tarifs/reduced-fares-children Thanks for watching and I hope this helps! 😃
Good informative video. Paris was a bucket list trip for me also, went in 2018 going back this year. I remember that the Navajo pass was in my research but we didn’t do it, will give it another look. We splurged on our airport transportation because we wanted to be as hassle free as possible after the long flight and starting our trip. So we booked a private car service and it was wonderful! I travel with my sister so we split the costs on things like transportation . I did countless hours of research for our trip . If anyone is thinking about getting the Paris Pass let me know because I can give you some tips for getting it for much less than you’ll see it advertised and for using it.
I can totally understand splurging on a bucket list trip to Paris 😁 I kept my transportation costs low so I could go all out on activities! Happy a wonderful second trip ❤️👍🏽😊
Vous expliquez très bien. Il faut absolument mettre une photo que le pass DÉCOUVERTE et c’est du lundi au dimanche . You must put pictures un Navigo découverte and it’s monday to sunday .
Just Came from Paris and wanted to say Thank You from the Bottom it Our Heart. We arrived on Monday Bought our Navigo and used it till Sat for 6 days in Paris we save so much. Thank You Thank You. Enjoyed the City & even Disneyland with the pass 🙌🏼
This is wonderful news, MamaGlanch! I’m so glad you were able to save money and have a great time in Paris with the Navigo Découvert pass 👏🏽 Seeing this made my heart smile 😁
Nicely described! You are exactly right about the Navigo. I was wondering if it some sort of “government secret” when I was researching. It’s a game changer for feeling free to move around through zones and modes. Nice persona you have. All the best!
Fabulous. Thank you so much for the advice. I'm looking at a few travel passes with a lot of confusion and hesitation, coz most of them include things that are unnecessary to me.
I feel your pain! I just wanted to know my options for traveling around and it took a while to sort through all kinds of confusing, unnecessary information. Thank you for taking the time to watch ❤️
I can't tell you how FANTASTIC this vlog is. I am heading to Europe for a month including Paris for a week and looking for the best travel options. This has been soooo helpful! Thank you! I will be following you :)
RogueMomma, I'm so glad you found the information useful and your comment seriously put the biggest smile on my face, thank you for your support!! Have an amazing trip to Europe 😀
Just discovered this EXCELLENT channel and just subscribed. EXCELLENT video! This is THE BEST re transport in Paris. Of the 20 arrondissements, which are those that require the RER for travel to the heart of Paris? I am trying to stay within the arrondissements that does not require the RER.
Thank you so much Yanni!! 🥰 the closer you are to the 1st arrondissement, the less you need the RER. The further out, the more you can consider taking the RER.
I’m so excited for you, Melisasalsadiva1 😁 Paris was my #1 bucket list trip and it did not disappoint! Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful time!!
Thank you so much for your really detailed and super helpful video. I have been living in Paris inside my head for way too long and like you, I wanted to go 4ever!!! Thank you so much for talking all about how to navigate around Paris on a budget and especially what cards to get when at the airport. That Navigo card.. wow.. definitely the way to go. Thanks again!!!
Awww thanks so much for the compliment Miki! Im smiling as I read this 😁 I’m so glad you got the courage to GO and live out your dreams. Paris is beautiful and I hope you live to the fullest!! Bon voyage!!💕
Thank you so much for this! I'm planning my Bucklist trip to Europe in March 2020 and am a bit nervous about using public transportation. This will help me a lot. Thanks again!
You’re welcome! I hope you have a wonderful Euro trip and know that once you learn to navigate one public transportation system? The rest are pretty similar 😊 Thank you so much for watching and I wish you safe (and fun!) travels ❤️
De rien, Carli! Thank you for leaving such an awesome comment and I'm so excited that you are able to apply all of the tips! I hope you and your husband have a super fun and memorable vacation in Paris!!👍😀❤
Thank you, The Best! When I discovered the pass before my trip I almost couldn’t believe it, but it’s there and ready to use. Have a great trip- May is right around the corner!! 👍🏽😁
Thank you, Tedeisha! I really appreciate your comments and I pray that you will make it to Paris, navigate the system with ease, and have the time of your life!! 😘🙂
Thank you so much for this video! I simply did not know about the Navigo Decouvert option! I am planning on a 5 day visit from Monday through Friday, so for me getting from Airport to Paris to Disnelyand during this time should only need me to get a Navigo Decouvert right?! My travel budget just about halved - I was thinking some Zone 1-3 Paris Viste + individual carnet + single destination tickets for the airport. THIS. IS. AWESOME.
You’re very welcome, Kayeos! That’s right, a Navigo Découvert pass for all zones covers your entire trip, airport and Disneyland included. I felt the exact same way when I discovered the pass, too!! Have an excellent trip and thank you for watching!! 💕
Hey Peter! Thanks for watching and commenting. You need to bring your own passport-sized photo of your face for the Navigo Découvert Card - they do not take a digital picture of you. I hope this helps and thanks again for watching! 😁
This is SUCH an informative video! Thank you so much for posting. To clarify, we are heading to Paris, arriving on a Wednesday leaving on a Monday - do you recommend the Navigo pass? If I heard you correctly, we would be able to use the pass from Wednesday - Sunday, and could use the T+pass on Monday?!? Additionally, when we fly into CDG, if they have the Navigo on hand, we would be able to use that into the city center vs. having to get on the RER, right?!? So many questions to pick your brain with!!! Thanks for the insight!
Thank you so much for the positive comments and for watching!! 😁 great questions, too! You are correct- if available, you could use the Navigo Découvert pass immediately from the airport to jump on the RER train into Paris and use until Sunday night. On Monday you would need to use t+ tickets to get around the city AND an airport ticket to get you back to CDG. To see if the pass is worth it, I’d look at my itinerary, estimate how many individual trips I’d make Wed-Sun, then multiply the number of trips by the cost of a t+ ticket (don’t forget to add the cost of an airport ticket, too). This can tell you which is the best financial option and help determine what works best with your schedule. Good luck and I hope this helps! Bon voyage!! 😊👍🏽❤️
This video was wonderful and so detailed! You have made what was the most intimidating part of my upcoming trip digestable and easy to understand. Merci
Antoinette, we are "hopefully" going in August 2021, thank you so much for your very informative video. We really appreciate all the research you did for us!
I hope you are able to go in August, too, Salvatore! Paris is a trip I will never, ever forget so I hope you’re able to go and have an AMAZING time! 😁❤️
I really loved this video so helpfull!!!!! I will be traveling soon with my friend so we were thinking about the Paris pass tickets but its a bit expensive, since I started living in Germany and I understood the way tickets worked here I was trying to find something similar for Paris as well and Im glad that i came across your video. I would like to know if there is a similar ticket like the museum pass which may be cheaper. If so that would be great.
I’m glad I could help and thank you so much for watching, Claudia! ❤️ Other than the tickets I mentioned in the video, I’m not aware of anything cheaper.
i can't stop obsessing over how pretty u are, i love girls who do their researches and just always READY hahaha, i am just like you, i wanted to ask does the Navigo découverte allow u to take the train from Charles de Gaule too TO THE CENTRE, is it also includedin the pass?
Can you please make us a quick video from Orly Airport to Eiffel Tower and Louve and maybe Norte Dame as we will only be there for like 7 hours. We have tickets to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Can you help because it appears so confusing right now. I did enjoy your above video. We appreciate any help/assistance. We are leaving California this coming week on 10/10/2019.
Hi Richard! I will not be able to make a video in time for your trip, but if you enter your destinations in google maps (in the order you want to see them), you will find the fastest routes as well as what type of transportation you need. With that said, it will take 45min - 1hr just to go from Orly to the Eiffel Tower using public transportation, not including the time it takes to go through the airport. 7 hours is a short window of time to see everything, but you can probably cut your commuting time in half by taking a taxi, although it will cost much more than a train or metro.
Thank you so much! Such an informative video👍🏼 my family of 5 and I are arriving to Paris (CDG) early Thursday morning at 7AM. Will we still be able to purchase Navigo card? Or Thursday morning is too late and won’t count until the following week? Just want to make sure I don’t buy the Navigo and then won’t be able to use it. Thanks in advance!!
Hey Ant X Ana! You should be fine if you purchase the Navigo Découvert Card on Thursday. Keep in mind it will be valid from Thursday to Sunday night. Monday requires a new pass 👍🏽 Thank you for the positive feedback and I hope you and your family have a great time in Paris!
This video is so much informative. Thank you Antoinette. I’m going to Paris coming Jan and I’m gonna save a lot of money once I purchase Navigo Découverte at the airport. I have one question. Where do I purchase this pass at the air port.
I’m so happy for you, Dhruv! Check CDG Terminal 2. Look for the SNCF “Billets Paris et Ile-de-France” Office or at any of the other SNCF, Transilien, or Optile windows. Happy travels!!
So happy you were able to go, I'm going in one month! My dream is to visit Disneyland. Where did you buy de Macarons? Any other shopping tips? Greetings from Mexico
Hola César! Tú vas á Paris en un mes? Que emocionante! I’m very excited for you! I purchased macarons at the flagship Laudrée store on the Avenue Champs de Elysées, but you can find Laudrée pretty much everywhere and even at the airport. Pierre Hermé is another famous place, but you can also purchase macarons at most bakeries in Paris. As far as shopping goes, it depends on your budget! I saw more sights than I shopped, but check out the Faubourg Saint-Honoré district- Galleries Lafayette and the same Avenue Champs Elysées where Laudrée is located to start. Depending on how much you spend, file a VAT refund at the airport to get some of your money back (some high-end stores might help with this, too). So save your receipts and get to the airport early 👍🏽 Happy eating and shopping!! ❤️
Hello! Enjoyed your vlog. 1.What travel pass or transportation option would you recommend for someone staying in Paris for only 20 hrs? I arrive at 230pm and leave next day at 10am... 2. Obviously I won't be able to enjoy all the daylite hours, what do you recommend I do/see? Thank you!! 😀
Hello Yliana! I’m so happy you found and liked my video, thank you!! This is a tough question - it all depends on what you want to see and how often you will ride the metro/bus/train. The biggest expense is getting to/from the airport to the city center (assuming you’re flying into Paris). If you’re flying in, on one hand there are 1- and 2-day passes (like the Paris Visite) pass that you could use to cover airport transportation (zones 1-5), but they will cost since you are arriving at 2:30pm. Those passes are for unlimited use of the transportation network and are valid from 0h-24hrs, so you would have to buy the 2-day pass for zones 1-5 in order to get to/from the airport and around the city for around €38. There’s also the option of buying two Airport tickets (€20,60 for two tickets each way) then a few t+ tickets as needed (€1,90/each). If you arrive before Friday, the Navigo Découvert pass would be around €27,80 and includes airport transportation but again, it all depends on how often you will use the system during your 20hr trip 🙂 For what to do... there’s still a lot to do in 20hrs! You can do an evening bike or walking tour to catch the highlights of the city. You can climb up the Eiffel Tower, check out an evening performance (play, music, cabaret, opera, ballet, etc), or eat as much as you can (chocolates, pastries, croissants, anything). Depending on the day you arrive, you may be able to see a museum during extended opening hours (on certain days some museums are open until 9pm) or you can just stroll along the city. There’s also the Catacombs or just hanging out at a café/restaurant with outdoor seating. Whatever you pass you choose and whatever you choose to do, I wish you the best 20hrs in Paris imaginable!! 😁❤️
So if you arrive on a friday morning and leave on a Tuesday morning, wich option makes u save the most? (Disney on a Monday and there´s 1 adult and 3 teens) Ty so much for the tips!
If you arrive on a Friday that's tough, Rita - it all depends on your itinerary. I would add the cost of each individual trip you want to take (RER, metro, bus, etc) then I'd compare it to the price of the passes (carnet, paris visite, etc). From there you can see what will save you the most money💰
Love this!! Thank you for making this, you have such a great energy 🥰 I just learned about the Navigo card this morning studying up for our trip in April and as luck would have it, our flight arrives on a Monday morning and we leave the following Sunday (perfect timing to use the card!) My question is did you bring your own photo with you for the card or did you take one at one of the photo booths at the airport train station? I’d obviously prefer to bring one with us since it’s one less step at the airport, running on the 0 minutes of sleep I’ll get on the flight over, lol. I can research what size it needs to be similar to you size a passport photo.
I’m smiling reading your comment, Stephanie! Thanks so much for watching! I brought my own photo for the exact reasons you listed - I didn’t want to spend time trying to find a booth or take a photo after a long overnight flight ✈️ the dimensions are slightly smaller than a passport photo (3cm x 2.5cm). I hope you have a lovely trip - please eat all the delicious croissants 🥐 and macarons!! 😁💕👍🏽
@@FrolicAndCourage So helpful again, thank you! We'll be sure to take, print, and cut out our photos ahead of time. I may also bring a thin Sharpie cuz it looks like it'll be easier to write our names with that kind of pen rather than a regular pen. Looking forward to watching more of your fun videos and getting excited for our upcoming trip. Merci beaucoup! 😘
Oh my god this video is super helpful especially for me. You made it so easy to understand. Thank you so much. One question is i am planning from monday to Thursday in paris so basically you are saying is i can land in paris and i can buy this Navigo pass at airport and directly reach to the city center, go anywhere i want within these 5 zones and travel back from city center to airport on Thursday?
On my way!!!! What I’ve just watched and heard, since morning i was searching for cheap substitute of airport to city centre transfer as I’m visiting paris only for two days that € 10.30 each way was really annoying me and but after watching your videos i can save almost half plus more validity and more zones to travel as i was thinking to buy two days visite pass for 19.80 and to and fro ticket for airport was 20.60 sums up 40.40 total for 1-3 zones for two days and only single trip to and pro to airport but navigo is just 27.80 with additional validity and more zones to travel, how can i thank you ❤️
Your video is so detailed! I've watched so many videos about public transport in Paris, they got between 60k and 400k views but they weren't as interesting as yours! Thank you so much for sharing those tips. That will definitely help!

Just discovered this EXCELLENT channel and just subscribed.
EXCELLENT video! This is THE BEST re transport in Paris.
Of the 20 arrondissements, which are those that require the RER for travel to the heart of Paris? I am trying to stay within the arrondissements that does not require the RER.
Thank you so much Yanni!! 🥰 the closer you are to the 1st arrondissement, the less you need the RER. The further out, the more you can consider taking the RER.
Best video I have seen on this subject - Merci!

Thank you, Tedeisha! I really appreciate your comments and I pray that you will make it to Paris, navigate the system with ease, and have the time of your life!! 😘🙂
Thank you so much for this video! I simply did not know about the Navigo Decouvert option! I am planning on a 5 day visit from Monday through Friday, so for me getting from Airport to Paris to Disnelyand during this time should only need me to get a Navigo Decouvert right?! My travel budget just about halved - I was thinking some Zone 1-3 Paris Viste + individual carnet + single destination tickets for the airport.
THIS. IS. AWESOME.
You’re very welcome, Kayeos! That’s right, a Navigo Découvert pass for all zones covers your entire trip, airport and Disneyland included. I felt the exact same way when I discovered the pass, too!! Have an excellent trip and thank you for watching!! 💕
Do you need a photo of your face to apply to the navigo card or do they take a digital picture of you? PS super formative vlog very much appreciated.
Hey Peter! Thanks for watching and commenting. You need to bring your own passport-sized photo of your face for the Navigo Découvert Card - they do not take a digital picture of you.
I hope this helps and thanks again for watching! 😁
sorry to jump in to your conversation... can you wear eye glasses on the face photo?
@@Karlui2006 🤔🤔🤔
Hey Lui! I’d probably leave the glasses out of the photo 👓❤️
Merci! 😊
De rien, Catherine! 👍🏽😊
This is SUCH an informative video! Thank you so much for posting. To clarify, we are heading to Paris, arriving on a Wednesday leaving on a Monday - do you recommend the Navigo pass? If I heard you correctly, we would be able to use the pass from Wednesday - Sunday, and could use the T+pass on Monday?!? Additionally, when we fly into CDG, if they have the Navigo on hand, we would be able to use that into the city center vs. having to get on the RER, right?!? So many questions to pick your brain with!!! Thanks for the insight!
Thank you so much for the positive comments and for watching!! 😁 great questions, too!
You are correct- if available, you could use the Navigo Découvert pass immediately from the airport to jump on the RER train into Paris and use until Sunday night. On Monday you would need to use t+ tickets to get around the city AND an airport ticket to get you back to CDG.
To see if the pass is worth it, I’d look at my itinerary, estimate how many individual trips I’d make Wed-Sun, then multiply the number of trips by the cost of a t+ ticket (don’t forget to add the cost of an airport ticket, too). This can tell you which is the best financial option and help determine what works best with your schedule.
Good luck and I hope this helps! Bon voyage!! 😊👍🏽❤️
You're adorable. Keep it up!
Aww, thanks Aggy!!
Awesome info! Thank you so much😍
Anytime, Sveta! Thanks for watching!
This video was wonderful and so detailed! You have made what was the most intimidating part of my upcoming trip digestable and easy to understand. Merci
This is one of the best things I’ve heard all day, thank you Tori!! 😃❤️
Antoinette, we are "hopefully" going in August 2021, thank you so much for your very informative video. We really appreciate all the research you did for us!
I hope you are able to go in August, too, Salvatore! Paris is a trip I will never, ever forget so I hope you’re able to go and have an AMAZING time! 😁❤️
Only a week to go now! We're getting excited 😆😂
A week has passed- Have a wonderful time, Salvatore!!
I really loved this video so helpfull!!!!! I will be traveling soon with my friend so we were thinking about the Paris pass tickets but its a bit expensive, since I started living in Germany and I understood the way tickets worked here I was trying to find something similar for Paris as well and Im glad that i came across your video. I would like to know if there is a similar ticket like the museum pass which may be cheaper. If so that would be great.
I’m glad I could help and thank you so much for watching, Claudia! ❤️ Other than the tickets I mentioned in the video, I’m not aware of anything cheaper.
You nailed it! The video is so detailed and so well structured , thank you for all the information!
Thank you so much Irene!!! I appreciate you taking the time to watch ❤️😁
One little tip for t+ tickets, buy them by 10, they come out to €1.40 a piece.
Absolutely Simon! Buying a carnet of 10 t+ tickets is cheaper than individual tickets 👍🏽🙂
i can't stop obsessing over how pretty u are, i love girls who do their researches and just always READY hahaha, i am just like you, i wanted to ask does the Navigo découverte allow u to take the train from Charles de Gaule too TO THE CENTRE, is it also includedin the pass?
Aww, thanks! 🙂 Yes! The Découvert allows you to travel from CDG on the RER train to the city center.
the bus is excellent as well. can ser the sites instead of underground
Absolutely! There will be more stops between but you get a taste of different neighborhoods 😊
Can you please make us a quick video from Orly Airport to Eiffel Tower and Louve and maybe Norte Dame as we will only be there for like 7 hours. We have tickets to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Can you help because it appears so confusing right now. I did enjoy your above video. We appreciate any help/assistance. We are leaving California this coming week on 10/10/2019.
Hi Richard! I will not be able to make a video in time for your trip, but if you enter your destinations in google maps (in the order you want to see them), you will find the fastest routes as well as what type of transportation you need. With that said, it will take 45min - 1hr just to go from Orly to the Eiffel Tower using public transportation, not including the time it takes to go through the airport. 7 hours is a short window of time to see everything, but you can probably cut your commuting time in half by taking a taxi, although it will cost much more than a train or metro.
Thank you so much! Such an informative video👍🏼 my family of 5 and I are arriving to Paris (CDG) early Thursday morning at 7AM. Will we still be able to purchase Navigo card? Or Thursday morning is too late and won’t count until the following week? Just want to make sure I don’t buy the Navigo and then won’t be able to use it.
Thanks in advance!!
Hey Ant X Ana! You should be fine if you purchase the Navigo Découvert Card on Thursday. Keep in mind it will be valid from Thursday to Sunday night. Monday requires a new pass 👍🏽
Thank you for the positive feedback and I hope you and your family have a great time in Paris!
Frolic & Courage Thanks so much :)))
They now have the navigo easy pass
Yes! It’s finally out now 😁👍🏽
This video is so much informative. Thank you Antoinette. I’m going to Paris coming Jan and I’m gonna save a lot of money once I purchase Navigo Découverte at the airport. I have one question. Where do I purchase this pass at the air port.
I’m so happy for you, Dhruv! Check CDG Terminal 2. Look for the SNCF “Billets Paris et Ile-de-France” Office or at any of the other SNCF, Transilien, or Optile windows. Happy travels!!
So happy you were able to go, I'm going in one month! My dream is to visit Disneyland. Where did you buy de Macarons? Any other shopping tips? Greetings from Mexico
Hola César! Tú vas á Paris en un mes? Que emocionante! I’m very excited for you! I purchased macarons at the flagship Laudrée store on the Avenue Champs de Elysées, but you can find Laudrée pretty much everywhere and even at the airport. Pierre Hermé is another famous place, but you can also purchase macarons at most bakeries in Paris.
As far as shopping goes, it depends on your budget! I saw more sights than I shopped, but check out the Faubourg Saint-Honoré district- Galleries Lafayette and the same Avenue Champs Elysées where Laudrée is located to start. Depending on how much you spend, file a VAT refund at the airport to get some of your money back (some high-end stores might help with this, too). So save your receipts and get to the airport early 👍🏽
Happy eating and shopping!! ❤️
Hello! Enjoyed your vlog. 1.What travel pass or transportation option would you recommend for someone staying in Paris for only 20 hrs? I arrive at 230pm and leave next day at 10am...
2. Obviously I won't be able to enjoy all the daylite hours, what do you recommend I do/see?
Thank you!! 😀
Hello Yliana! I’m so happy you found and liked my video, thank you!!
This is a tough question - it all depends on what you want to see and how often you will ride the metro/bus/train. The biggest expense is getting to/from the airport to the city center (assuming you’re flying into Paris).
If you’re flying in, on one hand there are 1- and 2-day passes (like the Paris Visite) pass that you could use to cover airport transportation (zones 1-5), but they will cost since you are arriving at 2:30pm. Those passes are for unlimited use of the transportation network and are valid from 0h-24hrs, so you would have to buy the 2-day pass for zones 1-5 in order to get to/from the airport and around the city for around €38.
There’s also the option of buying two Airport tickets (€20,60 for two tickets each way) then a few t+ tickets as needed (€1,90/each).
If you arrive before Friday, the Navigo Découvert pass would be around €27,80 and includes airport transportation but again, it all depends on how often you will use the system during your 20hr trip 🙂
For what to do... there’s still a lot to do in 20hrs! You can do an evening bike or walking tour to catch the highlights of the city. You can climb up the Eiffel Tower, check out an evening performance (play, music, cabaret, opera, ballet, etc), or eat as much as you can (chocolates, pastries, croissants, anything). Depending on the day you arrive, you may be able to see a museum during extended opening hours (on certain days some museums are open until 9pm) or you can just stroll along the city. There’s also the Catacombs or just hanging out at a café/restaurant with outdoor seating.
Whatever you pass you choose and whatever you choose to do, I wish you the best 20hrs in Paris imaginable!! 😁❤️
So if you arrive on a friday morning and leave on a Tuesday morning, wich option makes u save the most? (Disney on a Monday and there´s 1 adult and 3 teens)
Ty so much for the tips!
If you arrive on a Friday that's tough, Rita - it all depends on your itinerary. I would add the cost of each individual trip you want to take (RER, metro, bus, etc) then I'd compare it to the price of the passes (carnet, paris visite, etc). From there you can see what will save you the most money💰
Love this!! Thank you for making this, you have such a great energy 🥰 I just learned about the Navigo card this morning studying up for our trip in April and as luck would have it, our flight arrives on a Monday morning and we leave the following Sunday (perfect timing to use the card!) My question is did you bring your own photo with you for the card or did you take one at one of the photo booths at the airport train station? I’d obviously prefer to bring one with us since it’s one less step at the airport, running on the 0 minutes of sleep I’ll get on the flight over, lol. I can research what size it needs to be similar to you size a passport photo.
I’m smiling reading your comment, Stephanie! Thanks so much for watching! I brought my own photo for the exact reasons you listed - I didn’t want to spend time trying to find a booth or take a photo after a long overnight flight ✈️ the dimensions are slightly smaller than a passport photo (3cm x 2.5cm). I hope you have a lovely trip - please eat all the delicious croissants 🥐 and macarons!! 😁💕👍🏽
@@FrolicAndCourage So helpful again, thank you! We'll be sure to take, print, and cut out our photos ahead of time. I may also bring a thin Sharpie cuz it looks like it'll be easier to write our names with that kind of pen rather than a regular pen. Looking forward to watching more of your fun videos and getting excited for our upcoming trip. Merci beaucoup! 😘
Oh my god this video is super helpful especially for me. You made it so easy to understand. Thank you so much. One question is i am planning from monday to Thursday in paris so basically you are saying is i can land in paris and i can buy this Navigo pass at airport and directly reach to the city center, go anywhere i want within these 5 zones and travel back from city center to airport on Thursday?
Yay! I’m so glad you found it helpful, Aadit 😁 To answer your question, yes!
On my way!!!! What I’ve just watched and heard, since morning i was searching for cheap substitute of airport to city centre transfer as I’m visiting paris only for two days that € 10.30 each way was really annoying me and but after watching your videos i can save almost half plus more validity and more zones to travel as i was thinking to buy two days visite pass for 19.80 and to and fro ticket for airport was 20.60 sums up 40.40 total for 1-3 zones for two days and only single trip to and pro to airport but navigo is just 27.80 with additional validity and more zones to travel, how can i thank you ❤️
The savings really add up when you calculate all the transportation expenses vs. just buying the pass, right? 😁 Thanks for watching!!
Yo, its cost is covered just by to and fro to airport so technically you get a week full of rides for free 💃 💃 💃 🎉 🎉 🥳 🥳
