The 7-day Carte Orange costs less than three 1-day passes. Compared
to your other expenses, the cost difference between your M=E9tro options
is probably small.

I have always gotten mine from the friendly agent in the ticket booth
at the M=E9tro station.

I thought so, but you may not like modern art.

I have always gotten my money's worth from the pass, but one other
poster did not. You have ot think about your own interests and
stamina. In addition to the major museums, I also used the pass for
some of the smaller attractions like the Arc de Triompe, les =C9gouts
(the sewers), la D=E9fense, Cluny, etc. The 2-day pass may be right for
you.
Many of the museums are closed on Monday. Some are closed on
Tuesday. Check the schedule, especially before you take the ride to
Versailles. |
