Carnet question!

We will need to travel from Gare du Nord to the Latin Quarter, and also from the Latin Quarter to CDG. We were planning to just buy a carnet of tickets for the few days we are there. Will the tickets that come in the carnet cover the two trips mentioned above (both RER and Metro)? Or are those trips outside of the %26quot;zone%26quot; of the carnet tickets? Any advice would be appreciated!

Going out to CDG will require a different zone, but you will certainly use that many Metro tickets just around Paris. You will find out quickly that the Metro is convenient and easy to use, so a carnet of tickets is a good investment regardless of how you get back to CDG.

From the Gare du Nord to the Quartier Latin is no problem - both are in zone 1. Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, however, is far from the city centre - it is in zone 5, so the normal carnet tickets are no good there.

You can find maps of the metro and RER networks, including a %26quot;carte des zones tarifaires%26quot;, on the RATP website: www.ratp.fr

By the way, the carnet tickets are good for the entire metro network, and for zones 1-2 of the RER network.

Pefect, thanks so much for the info!!

NO...the ticket required for the RER %26#39;B-3%26#39; ligne train from Paris out to CDG is a special RER ticket, which must be purchased separately (or have a Carte Orange or Paris Visite pass valid for at least Zones 1-5...the one-day Mobilis pass is specifically EXCLUDED for use for allairport transfers). You cannot simply use multiple Metro tickets for this trip.
