Navigo pass on the paris metro?

Question

So, it seems that the carte orange has now been replace with the carte navigo. Question is, do I have to wait until I get to paris to buy one, or can I order one online before I travel?

Answer 1

The Carte Orange isn't dead yet. You can still get the coupon at most of the stations, although the number that do is being cut down every month.

Answer 2

I'm assuming that you are coming to Paris on a visit ...you'll be needing what they call a "Le passe Navigo Découverte" - you can get on the spot from RATP ticket counters. It costs 5€.......don't forget to have a photo with you.

The other pass "Navigo" is for people who reside in the Paris and its suburbs (aka : "Ile de France") This one can be ordered on-line because it is sent to the person's home.
