🚇 How to Buy Tickets

📍 Ticket Counters

✅ Recommended for beginners! Available at CDG/Orly airports and major stations (e.g., Châtelet). English-speaking staff assist.

📍 Self-Service Machines

💻 Tips:

  • New machines support Chinese interfaces, WeChat/Alipay. Older models require step-by-step navigation (select language first).
  • Choose “Ticket Métro-Train” for single-journey tickets.

📱 Mobile Payment

  • iPhone Users: Add an electronic travel card directly to your Wallet for tap-and-go access.
  • Android Users: Download the official “Île-de-France Mobilités” app to purchase and generate QR codes.

⚠️ Pitfall Warnings! Lessons from Experience

1️⃣ Beware of Fake Ticket Inspectors 🚫 Always verify credentials! Scammers target tourists for fake fines or ticket swaps.

2️⃣ Choose Modern Lines for Luggage 🧳 Older trains lack elevators and require manual door opening (press the inner button). Opt for Lines 4/14 (fully automated) with luggage.

3️⃣ Ticket Traps

  • Single tickets expire if transfers exceed 30 minutes (2-hour total limit for Metro/RER).
  • Secure your Weekly Pass photo—on-site photo booths charge extra. Bring a passport-sized photo.

4️⃣ Anti-Theft Tips 👜 Avoid luxury bags for ticket storage. Use a separate pouch for Metro cards to deter pickpockets.
