We will be in Paris for 15 days in September, renting an apartment on Ile Saint Louis. I see there are Metro and bus stops in the vicinity, and am wondering about getting the less expensive version of the Carte d'Orange - that just cover 2 zones, I think. Does anyone know which arrondissements are in the two zones, and the price?
Many thanks!

There is an excellent map on line of the M&eacute;tro and RER systems overlaid on a street map. Download <i>RER IdF</i> from:

</b>
Zones 1 &amp; 2 include all 20 <i>arrondissements</i> (and then some), so you really can't go wrong buying the cheapest CO for &euro;15.40

All the prices can be seen at

See the discussion of various options at

Zones 1 and 2 cover the entire city of Paris (all 20 arrondissements) and a few spots in the near suburbs. Those are the only zones you need if you'll be travelling only or primarily within the city proper.

Echo!

thanks Robespierre and AnthonyGA for the quick info! Just what we were looking for.
