cecilio: You can buy a one day (also 3 and 5 day) "Paris Visite" pass good for unlimited travel. Zones 1-5 will get you to and from the airports, Disneyland and Versailles and all sorts of places in the middle. Zones 1-3, all the places in the middle. Most consider it pricey, though it carries certain discount features, such as at museum stores. Also available is a one day Mobilis. A "carnet" is a book of ten individual metro tickets, sold at a discount from the price of ten individual tickets. Also worth looking at: Carte Orange, a weekly pass (Monday-Sunday)intended primarily for the weekly commuters." All are available at Metro stations, among other places on the ground, and some by internet, for a service charge. Other options are available.

A Carnet is a packet containing 10 tickets, caost about 80 francs. There is a 1 day pass , vaild for 3 zones , called a Formula 1. A 7 day pass called
a carte Orange is also available. The 7 day pass starts on Mondays so probably would not be of much use if you arrive on Wed.
A good source of info is available at www.paris.org

The Carte Orange is 88FF which allows you to use the Metro and bus system for one week--Monday-Sunday. We arrived on Wed. and found it useful for the amount of travelling we did (through Sunday). Also on the bus there are no transfers so a ticket is needed for each segment used. You do need a small 1"square picture--just cut it out of a snapshot.

I agreed with Christina. I just came back from my Europe trip and I survived with a Mobilis pass which cost only 33FF for a day. I could get on the metro and hop on and off any buses...whatever is nice to see in Paris is within the zone that you can travel on the Mobilis. However this pass is only for transportation and don't give you discount for museums and sights. I suppose if you are looking for those, you may have to get other passes which I am not sure what because I am not a museum goer.

Obviously, if you are going to be there for more than three days, at 88 FF a Carte Orange (good from Tuesday-Sunday) would be cheaper than a Mobilis pass each day, plus you would only have to purchase it once. It allows unlimited travel on metro and buses.
