I learned the hard way-don’t put a paper ticket in your RFID items. It can sometimes erase your ticket. My friends went through the ticket gate and I was stuck. Thankfully, the ticket booth attendant helped me and told me about RFID problem! Merci!
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that story so others can learn! Merci. I’m so glad you got help!
Love the metro so much, but there's definitely a lot to learn to make it feel simple (and we still always get on going the wrong direction at least once per trip lol). This is THE perfect tutorial! 💥
Thank you so much for your continued support, for watching, and sharing YOUR beautiful videos and stories of France! 🇫🇷
Absolutely the best video if you want to learn how to move in Paris, i download the application and enjoyed my Paris trip 😊
Omgoodness, thank you SO much for this wonderful feedback. What a gift 💝!! Merci beaucoup!
your Videos helped me last year when i went to Paris thank you :3
That's awesome! Thank you SO much for sharing this testimonial! 🥹☺️🥳
This video tutorial made me subscribe as I am preparing for my first trip to France.
Thank you very much! I have a lot of content that I previously published about Paris. And I also have an entire playlist dedicated to the Paris Metro. I think you’ll find both of those things helpful as well as my website. Finally, know that I am in the process of publishing two more metro videos. So depending upon when you are traveling, you’ll want to watch for those as they will help you with your planning as well!
@@ThisFrenchLife I thank you a million times. My French algorithm is giving great content. So glad you were presented to me. You are by FAR one of the most enjoyable tour enthusiasts I've encountered.
@@ladonnasims1756 awwwww this is HUGE! What a gift 💝 this message is!!! Thank you SO much ☺️
So helpful Shannon, thank you for putting that together. Also I’m interested to know why you don’t use the contactless card option
Good question! I mentioned in the subtitle that the contactless credit cards are frequently rejected. This experience makes tourists worried and upset as they try to figure out what’s going on. But it’s the machine - not them or their bank card. Knowing that you must use a debit card with a PIN code saves time and angst. And don’t forget to notify your bank that you’re traveling to France!
This is so very helpful - thank you Shannon!!
Merci beaucoup!!
Great information, Shannon!
Thanks for watching!
Adorable video as always! The only thing I didn't catch was at the end about sometimes needing to validate your ticket. I've only been to Paris once, but I will be back this fall, and was curious about this and when it might happen.
Generally you only need to validate your ticket upon exit in the bigger train stations or after you use the RER. Just always remember to hang onto your paper ticket, if using one, and you’ll be fine. Bon voyage and thanks for watching!
@@ThisFrenchLife Ah, I wondered if that's what you meant. It happened to me at Chatelet. Once it took the fare again and once it didn't - I was just happy to make it to all my trains that I didn't care why. 🙂
@@jjmyers6664 châtelet can be very confusing and it’s one of the largest metro stations in all of Europe! I always suggest avoiding that stop and adjusting the planning so you don’t transfer at that station. Be sure to check out my FAQ metro video too! I’m sure that will help as well.
@@ThisFrenchLife I definitely avoided it as much as I could based on your recommendation, but once it was the right choice and I like to push my comfort zone a little as well. I appreciate you!
@@jjmyers6664 bravo!! I admire your conscientious choice to be courageous and brave and try new things. Not a lot of people put themselves purposely in those situations, especially in a foreign country. Well done for you. I admire and respect people like you a lot. Certainly, if you can brave that metro stop, you’re ready for any travel throughout France! 😂🥳🥳
Does the paper airport ticket (5 zone) valid for use to transfer within Paris city center (1 zone) ?? Thank you .
Yes. You can change metro stations during that ride.
@@ThisFrenchLife thank you . I really like your videos. Very informative and yet casual vibe. I’m glad I found you here .
@@jennym3966 I am so glad you are here too! I have a lot more videos coming up this year. I hope you enjoy my 2024 series!
Tysm, so helpful with the Versailles ticket, no TH-cam channel shows this, only showing how to buy metro tickets and have been researching for a video that shows how to buy a rer Versailles ticket at the machine 🙏 want to ask, where is the ticket machine at gare du nord after getting off the Eurostar? Would be extremely helpful as with kids and luggage don't want to get robbed especially if i don't know where im going 🥺. Planning trip in August 😅
No problem! Customer service windows and ticket machines are located everywhere throughout Gare du Nord! There’s a ton to choose from, so just keep an eye out as you make your way through the station and you’ll find one. Many are also located close to exits as well. You’ll have plenty to choose from. Bon voyage!
@@ThisFrenchLife❤
Why do you suggest not using the contactless method for payment?
Good question! I mentioned in the subtitle that the contactless credit cards are frequently rejected. This experience makes tourists worried and upset as they try to figure out what’s going on. But it’s the machine - not them or their bank card. Knowing that you must use a debit card with a PIN code saves time and angst. And don’t forget to notify your bank that you’re traveling to France!
@@ThisFrenchLife Can we use a credit card or does it have to be a debit with a pin number?
@@gleepo1110 a debit card with a pin.
Comment éviter les pickpockets dans le métro ?
Veuillez voir ma vidéo sur ce sujet, que j'ai également en langue française.
In the video you said debit card, can we pay with credit card ?
Generally speaking, most credit cards do not have a PIN code. I mentioned in the subtitle that the contactless credit cards are frequently rejected. This experience makes tourists worried and upset as they try to figure out what’s going on. But it’s the machine - not them or their bank card. Knowing that you must use a debit card with a PIN code saves time and angst. And don’t forget to notify your bank that you’re traveling to France!
Merci Shannon! It has been saved for our next adventure in Paris. We have used bus 69 before simply because of the route and being with it above ground to see all the sights along the way. Of course it takes a little longer!
@@margaretanngendreau197 buses are a great way to see the city! And they’re a fantastic and affordable option for mobility impaired travelers too.
And there is any restriction as the pin having 6 or 4 digits?
@@abcrph not that I’m aware of.
