Paris metro tickets.?

Question

Is it true that you can travel anywhere on one single ticket? Or is it only that you can travel anywhere within a zone? How many tickets would I need to get from Zone 1 to 5?

Answer 1

yes it is

Answer 2

Generally it would be 3 tickets (of the purple ones, at 1,40€).

Answer 3

Paris is zone 1-2 so you may travel on one basic metro ticket anywhere within that zone, zone 3 - 4 -5 are in the suburb and require a different rate, so you buy a ticket specificically. if you are planning to stay for a week or so it is well worth it to buy a carte orange which requires an ID photo (cheap at the photo booth found in train stations and you to fill your name and sign) the weekly card is valid starting on Monday, monthly pas is valid starting on teh 1st day of teh month, thsi card is valid on metro and buses and RER within the zone you buy it for, any outside the zone travels require that you buy a ticket.
