27 Paris Transport: Carte Orange
The Carte Orange is available as a weekly or a monthly pass. The
weekly pass (coupon hebdomadaire) is valid Monday to Sunday only, and
*not* for 7 days from date of purchase. The pass is available from the
Wednesday before to the Wednesday of the week of validity. The basic 2
zone pass is 82FRF. You need a passport size photo for the pass. In
addition to the ticket, you will be given an identification card on
which you affix your photo and fill in your name. You must write the
serial number of this card on your ticket and keep the two together.
The ticket is not valid without the accompanying card. This card does
not have a expiration date, so you can use one from a previous trip.
The monthly pass (coupon mensuel) functions in the same manner, valid
for the calender month, and costs 279FRF for the basic 2 zones.
The Carte Orange passes are valid for unlimited rides on the RATP
system. Contrary to what some tour or ticket agents may tell you, the
Carte Orange is available to everyone. You should not have a problem
purchasing this from the RATP ticket agent.
