Hi Kwan thanks so much for the info especially the Paris 2024 Pass. We have seen a lot of videos about buying and using metro/RER tix but you are the first we have seen to highlight the above pass. We have just ordered it online to be delivered to Australia physically for about 5 Euros extra. We think that you have saved us a lot of hassle Thanks again
Glad this could help! Also for reference, this is good info on the app and what phones are compatible for the future: parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/ For some phone users I’ve read, it can be a bit finicky, but with the physical card, it’ll be nice since you won’t have to worry about things like network issues or if the app doesn’t tap on correctly. Have a great trip!
Thxs only knew this watching your video regarding the buy and shipped to me 🙏🏻 it's actually more value because the prices will double during Olympics. The pass gets me to zone 5 on Metro and rer. No hassle and received it in a week ! Now I don't need to stress about queuing and getting pickpocketed ! I can go to Versailles and Disneyland and airport, thx you
Great info. But which is the best for us? We'll be there 17-20 august, arrive at CDG getting the RER, one day to Versailles, and hanging out in the city, and visit Montmartre( dont know which zone )Only the paris 2024 at the apps?, or will be day pass? Its a little confuse for me. Or can we pirchase the navigo card in the app from Mexico, and add tickets cheaper at this time? I understand t+ tickets includes RER from CDG or to Versailles? sorry TIA🥴
This is a good site to go over it as well: parisbytrain.com/paris-2024-travel-pass/ There will be no regular unlimited Day Pass July 20-September 8 - the day pass will be the Paris 2024 Pass for this time. Ok, so I'll try to explain the pricing during this time if you purchase while there. Olympic Pricing for regular tickets (July 20 - Sept 8) CDG with RER B to the City (€16 one way, €32 round trip) Versaille is in Zone 4 (will need Origine-Destination ticket €6 one way, €12 round trip) Montmartre is in Zone 1 (Regular t+ ticket €4 one way, €8 round trip) So t+ ticket will only cover Montmartre (Zone 1) and other places in central Paris. It will not cover Airport RER or Versaille. Those two require a more expensive ticket that I priced above. Paris 2024 Pass will include Zones 1-5 and CDG, so if you buy it you can use it from the airport to the city and back to the airport. And then to Versaille and back. And Montmartre will be ok of course. A 4 day Paris 2024 Pass will be €52 now or then. I know it can be confusing, but hope that helps. You can try to buy it on the app, but not sure if you can do it outside of France. Here is a site to help do that: parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/ You can buy regular t+ tickets before July 20th and save money, but depending on when you go to Versaille, it might be better to do the Paris 2024 Pass to get the discounts with more days and airport included. Just depends on your itinerary.
Sooo helpful!! ty! I have a question- since the pass seems cheaper before July 20th. Can I buy the card now abroad and add funds, or because im in the states, I cant buy the card (via app) in advance?
Regular t+ tickets will be cheaper before July 20th, but the actual Paris 2024 Pass will be the same price now and then (based on number of days purchased). You’re able to order the Paris 24 Pass online and have it shipped if that’s what you do want and they’re also selling it via the app now. Physical pass for shipment pass.paris2024.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/en-US/ Scroll down to purchase in app www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/en/tickets-fares/detail/paris2024-pass This is a great site that covers the app and all the compatible phones and and how it works. parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/
Is the pass 24 hours or day specific? For example, if I activate a 2 day pass on a Thursday at 11:00, will it be valid until Saturday at 11:00 (24 hrs) or only Thursday and Friday (day specific)?
I believe it ends at midnight based in days. So if you started using it on Thursday at 11am, it will end midnight on Friday. Two consecutive days. Not two 24 hour periods. Per their site: www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/en/tickets-fares/detail/paris2024-pass “The Paris 2024 Pass is valid from midnight on the day of first validation until midnight on the last day of validity.” Love Enchanted Rock btw, went to UT.
Hi Kwan, Thank you for the very informative video. Is it still practical to order the Paris 2024 Pass? We plan to use it on the 26th. How many days before i receive my Pass? Any idea? we are Lithuania. Thanks and more power!
@@chriscompanero7204 hey! So they said to give yourself 30 days to be safe for shipping. Some people said they got it in a week. But since it’s close to the 26th maybe it’ll be safer to buy it when you land at the airport or train station in case they don’t get to you in time. Just my opinion. Have a good trip!
So how exactly do we get the Paris 2024 pass? Will it be availabile in train stations? Do you buy the easy card before the pass? And where abouts does the Paris 2024 Pass take you?
@@jasmineh9631 they sell it at the kiosks and counters at metro stations. You buy an easy card and add the pass to that. It’ll take you anywhere in zones 1-5 in the ile de France region.
@@jasmineh9631 you can also buy it via phone app, but you’ll have to check phone compatibility and some turnstiles may not work with the phone app from what I had seen at times, so you might have to find another turnstile depending on the station. They have extra workers on the grounds during this time for the upcoming Paralympics as well to help.
Hi ,Thanks for this. Really helpful... Question.. If I arrived in Paris and stay around days (with a planned itinerary outside zone 1) is it safe to busy paris 2024 olympic pass for 4 days? right? ex I'll arrive on thur and leave paris on sunday..it will expire on sunday , right?
Yes, it activates the day you start using it and ends at midnight basically on the final day. So if you started using it Thursday, it will expire on Sunday at 11:59pm for a 4 day pass. And yes, you can stay outside zone 1 and use it to go to any zone, since it is an all encompassing Zone 1-5 Pass, which is the entire Ile-de-France region.
@@iamWarlie correct. The Navigo Easy card is the only card you can load the Paris 2024 pass onto along with the mobile apps. And yes, Disney on the RER is covered with the Paris 2024 Pass. If you want to use the app here’s a great page that walks you through it. parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/ The Découverte can’t be used to hold the Paris 2024 pass. And they’re going to stop selling it on July 20th as well. If you didn’t want to use a Paris 2024 Pass and wanted to go to Disney (Zone 5), you can buy a point-to-point ticket (Origine-Destination) it will be €6 one way from July 20-September 8. So €12 round trip. These are basically your options during the Olympic timeframe to go to Disney.
I plan to visit during the Olympics. I would like to use the paris2024pass for only one day of my visit. I am planning to use the carnet pass in advance for the other days. Is this possible?
@@krmmmi absolutely. The normal t+ tickets (carnet) can be used anytime. I believe you can buy those now on the app as well if you can’t get them before July 20th in person. The prices of the carnet will go up on July 20th. Just remember t+ tickets are only good for zone 1 travel. So if you need to go out to a further zone and don’t have the Paris 2024 pass you’ll need an Origine-Destination ticket (point to point). Those prices will be €6 one way to any zone. But if you’re just traveling within zone 1 then you’ll be good to use the carnet.
hello, I'm not very familiar with the zones. does the pass also cover transportation to Lille where the basketball games would be -- in Villeneuve-d’Ascq
Lille is not included because it is outside the Île de France region (zones 1-5). You’ll have to book a train for Lille. Look up trains at www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/ Lille is the closest city that is hosting events. The other ones are much further. Otherwise, all the other venues in and around Paris will be covered under the pass. Hope that helps.
If you go outside of Paris region boundaries you need to take the railway system called SNCF. It also has an app (not that intuitive I’d say) to go from Paris to Lille or say Marseille…
Does Paris 2024 Pass include the day of 8th September or Does it valid until 7th september 23:59? I consider but this ticket for 7th and 8th september.
@@selmansungur the pass will be sold through September 8th. So 23:59 of the 8th because the Paralympics will be through the 8th. Don’t purchase days beyond that. It will not be valid after that. So starting September 9th (midnight) it will not be recognized. The metro prices will go back to normal then.
@@selmansungur you should be able to in France. Outside of France you might not be able to on the app because of location (I couldn’t purchase overseas or via vpn, so had to do it when I got there). Just fyi, as a personal preference, I prefer a physical card. I saw some larger stations where the turnstile couldn’t accept the phone yet, so agents had to tell people to go to another point to get in.
Ill be arriving at CDG July 25th and leaving via Orly the 28th. If my research is correct, my best options are basically either this pass or buying the 10x T+ combo tickets at 17 euros and have em loaded on to a navigo easy card. As you mentioned in other comments, it is possible to buy the 10x tickets right now (to avoid olympic price hike) and buy a physical navigo card on arrival at the airport for 2 euros, correct? That would allow me to get by during Olympics at "normal" prices, right? Just want to confirm wether I can buy the tickets right now and grab the physical card and charge it upon arrival on the airport. Lastly, considering that I would need transportation from CDG to hotel and hotel to Orly, which one would you recommend? The 10x bought beforehand or this pass for 4 days (which seems to be 52 euros if im not mistaken according to the website). Thanks!
So if you're coming in on the 25th the prices of the carnet (10 x t+ tickets) is going to cost €32 at that point in person. The only way you can get the €17 for a ten pack is if you buy them before July 20th (at the normal price). I'm not sure if you can do that outside of France. You can try via the app, but I've heard people had difficulty doing that. Otherwise, if you know someone there who can get one for you beforehand then that's another way. Here's a guide for the app: parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/ Also the t+ ticket is only for travel inside of Zone 1. If you need to go from one zone to another, the one way price is going to be €6 for an Origine-Destination ticket for all various zone to zone travel (Zones 1-5). Tickets from and to the airport are going to be €16 one way as well during that time frame (can't use a t+ for those since it's in a different zone). So if you think you can get the ten pack somehow at the €17, you just have to consider that your two tickets to and from the airports will cost €32. Not knowing your itinerary (if you're going to other zones etc for events or leisure), you just have to figure out how much traveling you're doing. If it's just within the city center, zone 1, then t+ tickets are just fine. You can load up to 30 tickets on an Easy Pass. At €52 for the Paris 2024 Pass for 4 days), you'll be able to get to and from CDG and Orly (€32 right there) and then anywhere else inside of Zones 1-5. CGD and Orly travel is included on the Paris 2024 Pass they said. The key really is having the ability to buy normal tickets before July 20th, airport tickets, outside zone travel, and then the convenience of what the Paris 2024 Pass offers. Hope that helps.
@@frenchcrawl OMG Thank you for such detailed response! So to see if I got this right: If I go with 10x T tickets plus airports ticket bought separately since of course they are not within zone 1 im basically looking at a 49 euro total (17.35 euro for the T tickets assuming im able to grab em before July 20th plus 32 euro for transportation from CDG to hotel and hotel to Orly). If i go with the paris 2024 pass for 4 days im looking at a flat fee of 52 euros that includes the transportation I need from CDG to hotel and hotel to orly AND also unlimited transportation around paris on every single zone? If thats the case, for a 3 euro difference (49 vs 52) it seems like a no brainer to me and the 2024 pass is the absolute winner here, right? or am i missing something? Two last questions: 1) Just out of curiosity, are airport tickets also increasing during the olympics? Google maps seems to show the RER tickets at 11.80 EUR (CDG to Gare Du Nord station, close to my hotel). 2) The website for the 2024 pass does imply ticket coverage to both CDG and Orly, but it only says "to", not "from", any clue as to wether both ways are covered on both airports? Again, thank you so so much, this video as well as your reply is making my travel plans so much easier to understand.
@@Poroto2107 I think getting the pass would be the easier solution for unlimited any zone travel for the three euro difference. Yes, the airport ticket prices are going up as well, hence the €16 price I quoted. As for the airport, I’m assuming it means you can go to and from. So both ways. Coming in from CDG and then leaving to Orly like you are. parisbytrain.com/paris-2024-travel-pass/ That’s how I read it. I’m hoping that’s the case.
@@frenchcrawl Great! Ill just go with the paris pass for 4 days for the extra convenience then, great. Buying it now or at the airport upon arrival makes no price nor any difference whatsoever, right? Again, thank you so, SO much. Truly made my planning so much easier.
I’m a little confused. Can we buy the booklet of 10 tickets at pre-Olympic price and use them during the Olympics? Or would they stop accepting those book of 10 tickets during the Olympics?
Yes. If you buy a booklet of ten before July 20th at the normal price you can use them anytime after. It will be ok even during the Olympics period (July 20-Sept 8). This is what they’ve shared with locals to do. You can fit up to 3 booklets (30 tickets) onto one Navigo easy card. If you want more you can buy another Easy card and add more. parisbytrain.com/paris-metro-tickets/ Just remember these are t+ tickets, so good for mostly zone 1. Further out to another zone is a point to point ticket which will be €6 one way during the games.
@@frenchcrawl So if I am going to Stade de France, that is zone 2 and the pre-bought T+ ticket wouldn't work. If I am understanding your (by the way very helpful) video correctly, then the advantage of the Paris 2024 Pass is that all zones are covered.
@@kwhitt841 that’s correct. The t+ ticket covers zone 1, so central Paris. Stade de France is outside of that, so you’d normally get a point to point ticket called a Origine-destination ticket. They price that incrementally based on where you start and end. The thing is they’re doing away with incremental pricing and charging 6€ one way no matter how many zones you cross. So it’d end up being a 12€ round trip from zone 1.
Here’s a good link to see all the info about a monthly pass: parisbytrain.com/paris-train-metro-week-pass-navigo-decouverte/ Scroll down to Navigo Month Pass Monthly passes with a Découverte card (only way to get it as a non-resident) only cover each month (first day to last day of a month, even if you buy it later in the month), not a 30-31 day period like your example of July 15-August 15. You can buy a monthly pass for July before July 20th. Anything you buy July 20th and on will activate on August 1st for the full month of August. You buy a monthly pass with a Découverte card, which they will stop selling on July 20th through September 8th. So if you’re there before the 20th you can still get it. Or if you already have a découverte card you can load it onto your phone and purchase later. If you’re in Paris July 15th to August 15th. Buying a monthly pass for July and August (so 2 months total) would be the cheaper method of travel vs 4 weeks of Paris 2024 passes. This is actually what I’ll be doing.
Good question. I’m not sure. I think it would be convenient but they might keep it separate and only allow it on a Navigo easy card since they are discontinuing sales of the Découverte during the Olympics. So I’ve yet to see any info where you can buy the Paris 2024 Pass and place it on a Découverte, but I could be wrong. If you already have on you can try. I have one but I’m planning on getting monthly passes so didn’t think to get the Easy card.
@@pauldenner1781 they said it’ll go on a Navigo Easy Card. « When you receive your Paris 2024 Pass, it will be on a Navigo Easy card, which is Paris’ multi-use, reusable fare card for public transport. » parisbytrain.com/paris-2024-travel-pass/ So if you have that one already I would try it to save a couple of euros. I have a Découverte Card and it’s not an available option on this card via the app. I can confirm that card won’t work.
Hi Kwan
thanks so much for the info especially the Paris 2024 Pass.
We have seen a lot of videos about buying and using metro/RER tix but you are the first we have seen to highlight the above pass.
We have just ordered it online to be delivered to Australia physically for about 5 Euros extra.
We think that you have saved us a lot of hassle Thanks again
Glad this could help! Also for reference, this is good info on the app and what phones are compatible for the future:

Thxs only knew this watching your video regarding the buy and shipped to me 🙏🏻 it's actually more value because the prices will double during Olympics. The pass gets me to zone 5 on Metro and rer. No hassle and received it in a week ! Now I don't need to stress about queuing and getting pickpocketed ! I can go to Versailles and Disneyland and airport, thx you
Glad that this helped you! Have a great time in Paris!
I knew I was getting taken advantage of with these metro prices in Paris. Im literally in Paris right now dealing with these inflated prices.
@@BirdFinder100 yeah, it’s a bummer that they doubled it up.

So informative and helpful! ❤
Solid info. Appreciate the video...👍
Awesome info!
Thank you😊
You’re welcome!
Great info. But which is the best for us? We'll be there 17-20 august, arrive at CDG getting the RER, one day to Versailles, and hanging out in the city, and visit Montmartre( dont know which zone )Only the paris 2024 at the apps?, or will be day pass? Its a little confuse for me. Or can we pirchase the navigo card in the app from Mexico, and add tickets cheaper at this time? I understand t+ tickets includes RER from CDG or to Versailles? sorry TIA🥴
This is a good site to go over it as well: parisbytrain.com/paris-2024-travel-pass/
There will be no regular unlimited Day Pass July 20-September 8 - the day pass will be the Paris 2024 Pass for this time.
Ok, so I'll try to explain the pricing during this time if you purchase while there.
Olympic Pricing for regular tickets (July 20 - Sept 8)
CDG with RER B to the City (€16 one way, €32 round trip)
Versaille is in Zone 4 (will need Origine-Destination ticket €6 one way, €12 round trip)
Montmartre is in Zone 1 (Regular t+ ticket €4 one way, €8 round trip)
So t+ ticket will only cover Montmartre (Zone 1) and other places in central Paris. It will not cover Airport RER or Versaille. Those two require a more expensive ticket that I priced above.
Paris 2024 Pass will include Zones 1-5 and CDG, so if you buy it you can use it from the airport to the city and back to the airport. And then to Versaille and back. And Montmartre will be ok of course.
A 4 day Paris 2024 Pass will be €52 now or then.
I know it can be confusing, but hope that helps.
You can try to buy it on the app, but not sure if you can do it outside of France. Here is a site to help do that: parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/
You can buy regular t+ tickets before July 20th and save money, but depending on when you go to Versaille, it might be better to do the Paris 2024 Pass to get the discounts with more days and airport included. Just depends on your itinerary.
Sooo helpful!! ty! I have a question- since the pass seems cheaper before July 20th. Can I buy the card now abroad and add funds, or because im in the states, I cant buy the card (via app) in advance?
Regular t+ tickets will be cheaper before July 20th, but the actual Paris 2024 Pass will be the same price now and then (based on number of days purchased).

You can try via the app, but I've heard people had difficulty doing that. Otherwise, if you know someone there who can get one for you beforehand then that's another way.
Here's a guide for the app: parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/
Also the t+ ticket is only for travel inside of Zone 1. If you need to go from one zone to another, the one way price is going to be €6 for an Origine-Destination ticket for all various zone to zone travel (Zones 1-5).
Tickets from and to the airport are going to be €16 one way as well during that time frame (can't use a t+ for those since it's in a different zone).
So if you think you can get the ten pack somehow at the €17, you just have to consider that your two tickets to and from the airports will cost €32. Not knowing your itinerary (if you're going to other zones etc for events or leisure), you just have to figure out how much traveling you're doing. If it's just within the city center, zone 1, then t+ tickets are just fine. You can load up to 30 tickets on an Easy Pass.
At €52 for the Paris 2024 Pass for 4 days), you'll be able to get to and from CDG and Orly (€32 right there) and then anywhere else inside of Zones 1-5. CGD and Orly travel is included on the Paris 2024 Pass they said.
The key really is having the ability to buy normal tickets before July 20th, airport tickets, outside zone travel, and then the convenience of what the Paris 2024 Pass offers. Hope that helps.
@@frenchcrawl OMG Thank you for such detailed response! So to see if I got this right:
If I go with 10x T tickets plus airports ticket bought separately since of course they are not within zone 1 im basically looking at a 49 euro total (17.35 euro for the T tickets assuming im able to grab em before July 20th plus 32 euro for transportation from CDG to hotel and hotel to Orly).
If i go with the paris 2024 pass for 4 days im looking at a flat fee of 52 euros that includes the transportation I need from CDG to hotel and hotel to orly AND also unlimited transportation around paris on every single zone?
If thats the case, for a 3 euro difference (49 vs 52) it seems like a no brainer to me and the 2024 pass is the absolute winner here, right? or am i missing something?
Two last questions:
1) Just out of curiosity, are airport tickets also increasing during the olympics? Google maps seems to show the RER tickets at 11.80 EUR (CDG to Gare Du Nord station, close to my hotel).
2) The website for the 2024 pass does imply ticket coverage to both CDG and Orly, but it only says "to", not "from", any clue as to wether both ways are covered on both airports?
Again, thank you so so much, this video as well as your reply is making my travel plans so much easier to understand.
@@Poroto2107 I think getting the pass would be the easier solution for unlimited any zone travel for the three euro difference.
Yes, the airport ticket prices are going up as well, hence the €16 price I quoted.
As for the airport, I’m assuming it means you can go to and from. So both ways. Coming in from CDG and then leaving to Orly like you are.

That’s how I read it. I’m hoping that’s the case.
@@frenchcrawl Great! Ill just go with the paris pass for 4 days for the extra convenience then, great. Buying it now or at the airport upon arrival makes no price nor any difference whatsoever, right?
Again, thank you so, SO much. Truly made my planning so much easier.
@@Poroto2107 correct. The price will be the same now or then.
I’m a little confused. Can we buy the booklet of 10 tickets at pre-Olympic price and use them during the Olympics? Or would they stop accepting those book of 10 tickets during the Olympics?
Yes. If you buy a booklet of ten before July 20th at the normal price you can use them anytime after. It will be ok even during the Olympics period (July 20-Sept 8). This is what they’ve shared with locals to do.
You can fit up to 3 booklets (30 tickets) onto one Navigo easy card. If you want more you can buy another Easy card and add more.

Just remember these are t+ tickets, so good for mostly zone 1. Further out to another zone is a point to point ticket which will be €6 one way during the games.
@@frenchcrawl So if I am going to Stade de France, that is zone 2 and the pre-bought T+ ticket wouldn't work. If I am understanding your (by the way very helpful) video correctly, then the advantage of the Paris 2024 Pass is that all zones are covered.
@@kwhitt841 that’s correct.
The t+ ticket covers zone 1, so central Paris. Stade de France is outside of that, so you’d normally get a point to point ticket called a Origine-destination ticket.
They price that incrementally based on where you start and end. The thing is they’re doing away with incremental pricing and charging 6€ one way no matter how many zones you cross. So it’d end up being a 12€ round trip from zone 1.
What if I need a monthly pass from July 15 - august 15
Here’s a good link to see all the info about a monthly pass: parisbytrain.com/paris-train-metro-week-pass-navigo-decouverte/
Scroll down to Navigo Month Pass
Monthly passes with a Découverte card (only way to get it as a non-resident) only cover each month (first day to last day of a month, even if you buy it later in the month), not a 30-31 day period like your example of July 15-August 15.
You can buy a monthly pass for July before July 20th. Anything you buy July 20th and on will activate on August 1st for the full month of August.
You buy a monthly pass with a Découverte card, which they will stop selling on July 20th through September 8th. So if you’re there before the 20th you can still get it. Or if you already have a découverte card you can load it onto your phone and purchase later.
If you’re in Paris July 15th to August 15th. Buying a monthly pass for July and August (so 2 months total) would be the cheaper method of travel vs 4 weeks of Paris 2024 passes. This is actually what I’ll be doing.
@@frenchcrawl exactly what I was thinking. Thank you!
Have a great trip!
Is it possible to insert Paris Pass 2024 on Navigò Decouverte?
Good question. I’m not sure. I think it would be convenient but they might keep it separate and only allow it on a Navigo easy card since they are discontinuing sales of the Découverte during the Olympics.
So I’ve yet to see any info where you can buy the Paris 2024 Pass and place it on a Découverte, but I could be wrong.
If you already have on you can try. I have one but I’m planning on getting monthly passes so didn’t think to get the Easy card.
Can you add the paris 2024 pass to an existing navigo card?
@@pauldenner1781 they said it’ll go on a Navigo Easy Card.
« When you receive your Paris 2024 Pass, it will be on a Navigo Easy card, which is Paris’ multi-use, reusable fare card for public transport. »
parisbytrain.com/paris-2024-travel-pass/
So if you have that one already I would try it to save a couple of euros.
I have a Découverte Card and it’s not an available option on this card via the app. I can confirm that card won’t work.
Hello is it necessary to buy the paris 2024 pass?
It is not. It’s just an option depending on your itinerary and costs going up.
don't take the Flix-Train to Olympia ...
